http://www.sportsdirect.com/gelert-solid-fuel-stove63-787417?colcode=78741790 I used one of these last year with a small 1l camping kettle which I also bought from sports direct, along with spare fuel tabs (around £1-2). It is very light and compact and takes around 5 minutes to boil.

Wide Awake Cafe. Their veggie hotdogs, duck, chorizo and fish cakes are all 100% vegan but they also do vegetable based options. The last couple of years they were at the top overlooking the pyramid stage. I'm not vegan myself but I work for the company who supply those products to them .

Another vote for the Coleman. I don't think you can go wrong with either to be honest. How effective they are depends on how you use them...
Mainly these are the tips. 1) you need to get one that's specially designed for long term use. The cheaper ones won't cut it. 2) you need to freeze everything you can (so Capri sun's /mixers etc) don't bother with cool blocks they take up space. 3) you can pre-charge the a few days before the festival. Basically fill with bagged ice then empty out before packing. Pack at the very last minute and avoid empty space as it's the air getting in and getting warm that increases the temps... thats why we open it as little as possible... and if you take a can out we add one back in...(until gone)
A space blanket can help as well as both a liner and something over the top.
Preparation and good common sense should keep either cool for an extended period of time
I have a Coleman too, when you say you add cans back in, does this not bring the temperature down? or does the reduced amount of empty space keep it just as cool but with the bonus of extra cold cans?
Towards the end of the festival last year I only had a few bits left in my coolbox and although they were fairly cool they were no longer ice cold. I did have issues pre charging it though, I put the whole box in my walk in freezer at work a couple days before but with the lid closed so it insulated the warmth and none of my contents froze properly!
Also if anyone is looking to buy an igloo, this seems like a really good deal:

The best trolley

Posted
I've ordered this Homebase trolley for click & collect but having read comments in this thread i'm having second thoughts..
Could anyone advise which out of the below VonHaus & Sherpa trolleys is the best? the VonHaus has a higher weight bearing load but I think the Sherpa looks like it has a more solid build?
