Chef Jamie battles the death burger with gourmet meals

Jamie Oliver aims to transform festival food with a catering operation offering gourmet dishes.

The usual festival "death burgers" and vegetarian noodles will be replaced by offerings such as
slow-roasted shoulder of British pork, lamb with chilli, rosemary and mint, and vegetarian jalfrezi.

Oliver's new company Fabulous Feasts will be at the Lovebox and High Voltage events in Victoria Park, and the V Festival in Hylands Park, Chelmsford. It catered for the VIP areas at the Isle of Wight Festival where Kate Moss held her hen night.

Its co-founder Nigel Harris said: "It's about wholesome fresh ingredients being cooked on site." Prices range from £4 to £7 but "festival fees" could inflate that.

Oliver has helped set up the Big Feastival music and food event on Clapham Common from July 1 to 3.
