Hi,

Of course I'll take basic food like some fruit, crisps, and some vegetarian sausage rolls and things, but how much money would you advise to take for Thursday afternoon to Monday afternoon?

As for being Vegetarian I imagine I wont be limited?

Depends how big an appetite you've got.
No problems with veggie food - stalla a plenty.
£20 a day should feed you well.
Even though there are plenty of stalls I still take a camping stove to boil a kettle for the late night hot chocolates and the first thing in the morning coffee.
I also take a reasonable supply of late night munchies.

You definitely won't have a problem finding something. I think it's been said on here a couple of times before, but about £5 a meal is about what to expect.

last year was my first time at glastonbury & i took far too much snacky food with me, most of it ended up coming back with so i would say dont take too much
budget about £4 for brekkie, £5/£6 for lunch & dinner depending on how much you eat
if you take your own booze with you you can save quite a bit of money but deffo try some cider from the brothers bar & the cider bus

based on last years prices the most you would pay for a meal was £7 from the commercial venders, its a bit cheaper if you wander down the Green Fields or Avalon Café ........  If you don't mind doing a bit of a sing song its free from The Hare Krishna tent.!!

£20 a day is a lot of money!

I think i'll invest in taking a bit more than I thought I'd need. If I took a stove & kettle I suppose I could live on pot noodles

Top tip for keeping you cans cold........let the beers chill between your tent fly sheet and the grass!!

But the Burrow Hill Cider Bus is a must......just don't mix the extra dry cider with the apple brandy, unless you want a good nights sleep!!!

Getting served at the bus is the issue although I'd love to try some.

I always work on the theory of £15/day will buy 3 meals. And those are good, decent sized meals. You could do it cheaper. I budget for £20/day so that I have a fiver for snacks if I want them. I rarely spend all of that.

I am on a real budget this year in general. Usually any kind of budget goes out the window for Glastonbury but I think that I need to be a little sensible this year so may bring something like some veggie sausage rolls that I can snack on in the mornings. I'm always the first one up anyway so just end up wondering off for brekkie on my own! That said, I enjoyed wondering to the Park on my own last year in the early morning sunshine and grabbing some toast. It was sort of relaxing and gave me time to collect my thoughts on my own!

as for a refreshing breakfast go for the Yeo Valley frozen yogurts........big enough to share!!!

tea abd toast at 4am. cant beat it.

I usually only eat two meals a day at Glasto so I'd budget for around £13? I'm taking crisps, juice and party rings with me. I never eat the other stuff that I take!

[mkgirl1981]

my friend always takes tins of fruit & i can never be bothered cos i think 'ahh they'll be too heavy' and then when i see him eating them in the morning im really jealous cos they look so good
