It used to be that you had to be the fastest on your phone - now it's your computer. On Monday, thousands of racing enthusiasts will drop everything they have in their hands to secure their favorite seats at Solvalla. At 09.00 on March 4, the starting gun goes off for Elitloppet's annual restaurant release.
The Elitlopp weekend, which is held from May 24 to 26, is one of Sweden's biggest folk festivals. The atmosphere is always great and that is one of the reasons why both competing teams and visiting spectators come to Solvalla from many different parts of the world. It's also a busy but fun weekend for Solvalla's restaurateur Morgan Lydebring who, together with his staff, will serve over 10,000 seated diners.
- Yes, it is without a doubt the highlight of the year and something you think about and plan for all year round. It is one of Sweden's biggest events in terms of food and drink, and our team is fully prepared for this festival," says Morgan Lydebring.
During the Elitlopp weekend, a wide variety of activities are on offer. Everything from outdoor dining along the racecourse to a gourmet package in the arena's main restaurant.
- Being responsible for and delivering this wide range of products is a challenge and requires careful planning and great logistics - something we love! concludes Morgan Lydebring.
