wasnt one in Acoustic field?

 

Ah, i dont generally go up there so that explains it!

[Memory Man]

On a down note i was expecting big things from the gumbo place at williams green but the portion was crap for £8 and it really was quite bland.

currywurst from herman ze german was superb. Pricey for essentially sausage & chips but very authentic.

Crumpet place in avalon was banging, far, far better than strumpets. Teamed with a pennard organic wine!!

shout out to pura vida mexican in the park, probably some of the only food onsite that was approaching fair value for money in terms of price:portion size & also tasty.

Everything is just so expensive these days & quality & size is so variable. Feel like you need to watch other ppl get their food to see what the finished product is before comitting

Burger Bear, Block 9

The best burger you will ever eat. 

 

Interesting! I was contemplating it but i think i was so enraged that it wasnt voodoo rays i didnt use them on principle lol! 

Worst food of weekend i was flagging sunday night and paid £4 for a small ish cone of poor quality obviously bog standard pre-frozen fries from the indian place in block9. Grim.

Eat the Farm, burger place on strip from WH to L'field. I'd not eaten there before but definitely my food highlight, I don't even go for burgers that often. Wed morning I was in the area and hungry - they had a breakfast burger on and it was fantastic. I made a point of going back for a day-time menu burger just before justice last night - and the burger won highlight of the evening I think , close call though

Found a place selling hot, fresh scotch eggs near the cider bus - bloody fabulous. 

Very good churros from Churro Bros too.

Anyone try the "Chicken Balls" place near the Other Stage?

Yes - a bit overpriced for the portion size but absolutely bloody delicious.

Indeed - seven quid was a bit much. My mate kept telling them they were missing an opportunity by not charging 'Six Squid' - they found it funny the first time...

[RustyBee]

Can't remember the name of it, but had the best dosa of my life from the little place on William's Green. The coconut salad thing on the side was amazeballs.

I had an Angry Bear from there and nearly cried and shat myself at the same time. I had to run for a jug of water!!

[rpfranks]

Food was ridiculously overpriced this year, £8-9 for a burger in some places. £5 for the smallest portion of sweet potato fries I've ever seen at some place behind Stonebridge Bar. £6 for the tiniest, driest lamb kofta pitta in Williams green. There was a good red German sausage tent on the walk from WG towards the marketplace that was £5 for a hotdog, I just ended up going there a few times. 

[The Nal]

Bloody Marys then.

Beat Hotel. 8 quid and fairly shite.

Bimble Inn. 5 quid and very good. 

Little bus at the thatre field. 7.50 and as good as the Bimble Inn.

[Eddzz!!]

There was a place at West Holts next door to the B'Bar. Yellow caravan with bright yellow lightbulbs around the outside. It did the most awesome chilli con carne and pulled pork with chips topped with nachos and cheese. I cannot for the life of me remember the name of it!

[Untz]

Fuck me, the carrot cake at the Tiny Tea Tent was good.

Burger Bear was amazing and the Asian place to the left of the Other Stage was really good value. Best potato product were the wedges to the left of the Other Stage - so crispy, so good. And I was so happy that I found delicious meaty tacos at the van at Williams Green.

I didn't think much of the crispy squid - my portion wasn't all that crispy.

Yes they were damn fine!

Also, I must say that the Cheesy Chips van in Silver Hayes sold me some of the the best chips I have ever eaten in my life!

[Green.flash]

Squid was the best food of the weekend for me, and all the best food was round the eastern end of the site. 

Ive learnt to avoid the stalls nearest the campsites. Poor pie in the campsite up near Arcadia, lovely one near the pyramid. Stingy burrito near the camping by the Beat Hotel. Much better and more generous one in Silver Hayes. Still think there was better to be had elsewhere though. 

[sidewinder679]

Probably not a new one but I absolutely adored the veggie maki rolls at Williams Green - fake chicken or duck and it tasted fantastic with avo, red pepper etc and a really filling healthy meal for £7.

Also Club Mexicana, the vegan taco place was one I had on my list to try in London so was very pleased it was there. The to-fish tacos were incredible, wanted to try the cheeze fries but at £5 for 3 seemed a tad overpriced.

Not new at all but a mezze plate from the place at the park is a Glasto staple for me

Le Rac Shack best grub on site again. 

 

Had ad a couple of exceptionally good bacon and egg butties from Le Swine with some hash browns on the side.

 

i normally like Goan Fish Curry, but went yesterday and it was garbage. 

 

 

Yeah, Goan fish curry has gone downhill.

Used to be the nicest food at the festival

Thought it was just a bar...mannn

[muddychick]

Annie Macs for macaroni cheese with pesto, bacon and basil was my favourite. One in the marketplace and one in the acoustic field. 

Overall I found food to be a letdown from previous years. I guess rising raw materials costs has taken its toll.

[mandana]

i had the food for a fiver deal from No Bones Jones and it was ace, fritters and a stew/curry with some other sauces and salad, just what i was after at the time - I had the platter the day before. probably my best food at the festival. really enjoyed quiche from lindas loaf too - about £3.50/£4 for a massive slice with lovely strong mature cheddar.

[ThomThomDrum]

Flat breads at Williams Green were pricy for the 2 small flat breads you got but holy good God were they tasty. They were consumed on a number of occasions by myself and the Mrs over the course of the week 

[leggyemulous]

Quack Shack between Cider Bus and WG was amazing - every meal was a fiver but the duck breast egg fried rice with plum sauce was a life-saver!

Couldn't find Linda's Loaf, is it still in Greenpeace or has it moved?

[Kill]

EAT THAI I think it was called between Williams Green and pyramid. Had the nicest Thai green curry ever! Also paella spot in same area was good as usual.
