When I was younger I did try having a rule that I couldn't refuse anything at Glastonbury, these days I'm a bit timid but I'd give it a taste at least It's been a while since I've been to the place, all cheap and nasty stuff but I have a soft spot cos they do remind me of my youth.. Still, it's Glastonbury. You know how for loads of people Christmas is the only time of year they'll eat sprouts? I'm like that with Glastonbury and cider. The proper local stuff like, I'll have the odd Kopparberg or whatever throughout the year but fear they may be akin to blasphemy. EDIT: Another thread turning to booze... Gonna be a silly summer.

Madyaker Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Holy shit! Fresh milk for breakfast White Russians! This is going to revolutionise my festival experience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I think is very useful, not just for bran flakes, but personally I swear by milk as a hangover remedy. Well, initially, obviously move back onto booze after that. You're not alone, part of my daily routine. Depending on my fragile state from the night before, I often spend a tense half hour or so in the morning trying to locate the closest milk store to where I have camped. And then the milk truck comes round the corner and life is fine again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a bit of a fiend for bran flakes in my everyday life and I just thought that if there was somewhere you could buy cartons of milk then it would be the perfect thing to bring! Just need a spoon, bowl and a load of cereal... which crucially won't go off in the event of a heat wave (yeah right). Obviously the milk would be an issue unless it could be bought as and when required though and so the main question I am posing through this unnecessarily overworded post is: does anywhere in the festival sell fresh milk? Misery flakes I call them. And yes I eat them too. Not at the festival though - that's bacon time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Breakfast cereals. Urgh. This isn't the 1970s. What a horribly grim way to start the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Il Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 They have sold milk from the back of a tractor for quite a few years before that and I believe they are still there were 3 stalls 1 near Pyrimid 1 near dance area and 1 in the market. It's Masqueraiders carnival club that sell the milk site wide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budvar Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Quite famously, the first festival in 1970 cost £1 for a ticket which also got you free milk. Buying a fresh pint off the back of one of the tractors for a quid is an established part of my morning Glasto routine. Further from that the MILK stalls dotted round the site are a great place to get other drinks from including fruit juices and milkshakes (generally a little cheaper than other stalls) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cazzatron Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 At the risk of sounding like an idiot, especially with Glasto being a dairy farm... Has anyone ever seen anywhere selling soy milk? Or any milk alternatives... I have problems without my cup of tea in the morning and can't drink dairy... Obviously I could bring cartons of the non chilled stuff, but once opened and if its hot - I don't know how long it will last...and don't fancy carrying a carton for each day in with me (along with wastage)! A bit of a first world problem there, but hey... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So £4 for breakfast for the entire festival. Or, you could buy those fucking god awful bran flakes for £3 and pay 4 quid for milk over the 4 days and spend more. Really, best festival around for food stalls. No need for it. But yeah, Id love some of this wealth you mention! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It moves around but last year it was near the Pyramid stage, just round the corner as you are walking towards Other stage. It's awesome value at a quid, it's about the same price in our Morrisons. The frozen ones when it's hot are especially good (when a lemonade lolly from ice cream van costs about the same!) They can't be making any money out of it, marketing exercise I assume.

somecoolusername Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 The Yeo Valley stall sorted me right out in the ridiculous heat of 2010. £1 for a pint of the most refreshing frozen yoghurt I've ever tasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
