FAQ
1. Do you offer ready-to-serve meals for outdoor farmers markets?
Yes. We offer excellent "Grab-and-Go" options perfect for market environments. Our Lahmacun (thin Turkish pizza with minced meat) can be rolled up for easy eating, and our Pide varieties come sliced, making them ideal ready-to-serve items for customers walking through a market.
2. Can Mama Fatma customize the menu with seasonal or organic ingredients?
We offer customizable menus and pride ourselves on using fresh, high-quality ingredients. While we do not advertise a strictly "Certified Organic" menu, we can work with you during the consultation to highlight seasonal vegetable dishes, such as our fresh Shepherd’s Salad (Çoban Salatası) or Eggplant dishes, to align with the "farm-fresh" theme of your market.
3. Are your foods suitable for on-the-go eating during market hours?
Absolutely. Handheld items are our specialty for this type of setting.
Savory: Sigara Böreği (Fried Cheese Rolls), Lahmacun, and Pide Slices require no cutlery.
Sweet: Baklava is the ultimate portable dessert.
4. Do you offer packaging that meets farmers market vendor rules?
Our standard service includes typical restaurant-grade packaging. However, we understand that many farmers markets have strict eco-friendly or compostable packaging rules. We recommend discussing your specific market regulations with us during the booking process so we can determine if our standard packaging meets your needs or if we need to arrange special serving ware.
5. Can you cater both savory and sweet Turkish-Mediterranean items?
Yes. We can set up a diverse stall featuring:
Savory: Freshly grilled meats or baked savory pastries.
Sweet: A dessert section featuring Baklava, Künefe (served warm), and Rice Pudding (Sütlaç).
6. Do you set up your own stall or collaborate with market organizers?
We primarily operate as a Catering Service. We can be hired by market organizers to set up a specific "Turkish Food Station" or BBQ Tent as a feature of the market. We provide the food, equipment, and staff, working in collaboration with the organizer's layout and requirements.
7. Are gluten-free or vegan options available for health-conscious customers?
Yes, fitting the health-conscious demographic of farmers markets:
Vegan/Vegetarian: Cig Kofte(Bulgur patties), Hummus, Eggplant Salad, and Vegetarian Pide.
Gluten-Free: Grilled Chicken or Shish Kebabs served with salad (omitting bread/bulgur).
8. Can you provide warm meals with portable heating solutions?
Yes. For outdoor setups, we utilize professional chafing dishes (warmers) to keep hot items like stews or kebabs at safe and appetizing temperatures throughout the market hours. For an even fresher experience, our BBQ Catering service allows us to grill meat on-site (venue permitting).
9. How far in advance should we book farmers market catering with Mama Fatma?
For a recurring market stall or a large one-time market event, we recommend booking at least 4 weeks in advance. This allows us to arrange the logistics, staff, and any specific equipment needed for an outdoor setup.
