At the start of March organisers of an event in Brighton had to offering refunds after running out of cheese.
The snow is being blamed for some traders being unable to get to the site.
Running out of cheese was not the only thing that went wrong though, as organisers invited guests to “enjoy and indulge in our range of bars serving craft beers, liquor and wine, plus live comedy, local bands & cheesy DJ’s performing a selection of jazz, funk & R n Brie”.
But the snow meant some artists and traders couldn’t get to the site on Hove Lawns.
“Sadly due to this, a few compromises had to be made and we are disappointed that a larger variety of cheese wasn’t available,” said the organisers.
Customers claimed they spent £30 on tickets only to find the organisers had run out of cheese.The non-refundable celebration of cheese, organised by The Giant Cheeseboard on Saturday. The organisers have been hit with complaints on social media, with people calling it a “shambles” – with one simply saying “I was expecting more cheese”. Also people joking on social media saying “was it KFC running the festival”.
This year wasn’t the first time this festival has ran low on cheese as last August people were left waiting in 90 minute queues.
