Goose Fair Foods
Goose Fair floss

Food is always a highlight at the fair and there are many options along with the traditional Goose Fair foods of mushy peas and mint sauce, Grantham Gingerbread and Cocks on Sticks...

From the old to the new, brand new catering for this year is Tastes of Transylvania, a delicious Hungarian pastry making kurtosh (chimney cakes). These handcrafted, freshly baked pastries are not a doughnut, cake or bread; but an amazing combination of all three. Crispy on the outside, soft and light on the inside.

Visitors keen to take a culinary whirlwind trip around Europe could perhaps look out for the distinctive windmill structure with traditional Nutcracker wooden toy decorations that will be selling traditional German Bratwurst sausages, Spanish churros or French crepes.
