Is Smokestack at Glastonbury? Seem to remember it being in the Unfairground but could be mistaken as I've not been for a few years. Had a brisket burger from there at Boomtown. It saved me that day from a god awdul hangover.

Not there this year, I asked them a few weeks back. Gutting.

Last year they were in the Main Markets, just down the main drag from Williams Green.

I believe someone previously posted that they're not doing Festivals this year, as they're concentrating on opening a new restaurant or something like that.

For me that's far bigger & worse news than anything to do with "the growler" which basically became something people buy because they'd been told that it's something people buy at Glastonbury, despite it being absolutely awful and expensive.

I have conducted some further research on your behalf. They are these people:

I'm told they are between pyramid and other but I also know how much their pitch was and it seems far too cheap for that location so who knows really.

I am apparently doing a pub quiz with half of them this evening so I'm going to find out all about how food catering works at glasto. Very exciting.

 

Thanks to you and to @Divein - that's two places I will be checking out come next month!

The Growler was fine. It's funny seeing people slate it in one breath here and then go on about the poutine/raclette places. They're both basically chips smothered in cheese with an optional bit of sausage/bacon. It's just one is the posh version.

(Works both ways though - no great loss either).

It's not the Growler I'll miss, I never had one, but the miserable drawing of Pauline Fowler with Growler written next to it. Shangri-La should use it in their art instalments made of rubbish.

I can't speak for the poutine, but there's a world of difference from proper raclette done on a raclette grill and a fistful of grated Value Cheddar Style Product.

I love how snooty some peoppe here sound.... a growler darling?...whod want that!.....lots of people wanting to soak up the night befores alcohol...thats who!....if he hadnt been popular he wouldn't have come back year after year. Chips smothered in cheese can be very appealing when your pished!

You're not metal enough to have a curry for breakfast to soak up last night's cider?  Big wuss.

Spot on, I like many others will miss this establishment 

[arcade fireman]

I'll only have chips and cheese if it's artisan sliced Maris Piper potatoes coated with a three cheese blend of truffle pecorino, Manchego and French brie darling.

The people who did 'the growler' have been there over 20 years...called themselves 'meal machine'  

 

the growler itself i think was around from 2002 ish onwards...

First time I had a Growler I thought it was the greatest thing ever. Went back the next year and the chips were cold, the bacon was fatty and the cheese wasn't melted. Never had one since.

They did do a decent hunters chicken thing though.

Cool Cool thanks.. I'll be checking them out 

[sheffieldlady]

The Gravy Train is amazing, they've only been going since last year and it's yummy. So yummy that I've booked them to do evening wedding food! Thriled they'll be there. If you get the chance, go visit. The food is cheap, good and tasty. I'll be paying them a visit at the Sheffield Food festival next weekend!

I don't think they were there last year, or at least I can't remember seeing them, but there was definitely a german themed one a couple years ago - either 2014 or 2015 or maybe both. It was quite near the Meeting Point, on the road towards the Cider Bus / Pyramid, and had quite a reasonable selection and quality with Bockwurst, Bratwurst, Currywurst, Krakauer, etc.
