Gourmet Drive-Throughs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Pop-Up Monnow Valley Drive Thru & Drive In Movie Theatre

— April 12, 2009 — Lifestyle
Boutique caterers Bompas & Parr created a rather special drive-through restaurant—Monnow Valley Drive Thru and Drive In Movie Theatre—for the Abergavenny Food Festival. Boy, did they pull it off. I think it remains one of the best mobile eating experiences ever.

Not only did they create a pop-up drive-through restaurant and movie theater, Bompas & Parr ensured the feeling of cool was carried throughout the experience with custom ‘Happy Meal’ boxes designed by CZWG Architects.

Films such as “Pulp Fiction” were screened and a hot dog-eating contest took place. There were even food based performances from The Flock of Burgers, including their food-based performance called “The Prance of the Burgers.”
