  1. Best / Worst Food

    in Chat

    Posted

    I didn't have a bad meal, helped by previous recommendations on here and some tried and tested favourites from the farm and other festivals.

    Highlights were the kebabs from Fusion Fire & Spice next to Brother's Bar at West Holts which are always top drawer; Bunnyman's Bunnychow hot chilli opposite the Taphouse on the way from Leftfield to West Holts; £6 breakfast brioche from Eat The Farm next to the cashpoints on the same run; and Paletas Mexican Ice Lollies on the left hand side as you enter West Holts.

    Free curry from Hare Krishna at the top of Pennards was nicer than I expected and a lovely atmosphere in the shade on a hot Thursday. Not all that dissimilar to the curry (plus momo) I had from Taste Tibet near Paletas. That was decent but not as tasty as the curries I've had previously from Tibetan Kitchen or Indonesian Coconut Curries.

    Banana Milkshake from Fruit Cup on way from Williams Green to West Holts; and Mango Lassi from Groovy Smoothies on way from BBC Introducing to Other were both lovely with my added Chairman's Reserve spiced rum.

    Cherry crumble with roasted nuts and custard from Crumbleshack between Bread & Roses and Leftfield hit the spot. My teenagers enjoyed a great baked cheesecake and chocolate fudge cake from Just Desserts opposite the Pharmacy on the way from Bread & Roses to Circus but I limited myself to a bite of each.

    I got home and found that I'd somehow lost a kilo in weight from before the festival.

  4. Family Camping question

    Sorry to hijack the thread but a similar question - we are arriving Thursday morning/lunchtime - based on last year will Wicket family camping be full by then?

    We’ll likely be arriving at gate D - so will check campsite boards & may just head south towards Back House/Baileys or somewhere with a shorter walk - but helpful to know what it was like last year, many thanks 

    We arrived around 12pm on Thursday in 2019 and still found room for a large six person tent.

    It would have been no problem with a smaller tent but we had to hunt around to find space for such a large tent.

    This year however one section of Wicket has been changed to disabled camping. So there might be less room than previously.

    Along with Crumble Shack, I'm on a mission to find some different desserts every day! I can't wait 

    Just around the corner from Crumble Shack (by the yellow circle with an i in it on this map) were a dessert place doing great cheesecake ( by the second a in Pharmacy) and nearly opposite that a place doing nice waffles with ice cream and various toppings. Dessert central!

    Managed to secure my first ticket in 7 years but will be my 8th Glasto. Whilst technically not food, I used to love stopping by Groovy Smoothie in the mornings to get my hit of fruity vitamins before a day of gluttony. Does anyone know if this stall still exists?

    Last year they had a stall on the left hand side as you walked into The Park, pretty much opposite the Rabbit Hole. Quality smoothies.

    Visited Proper Coffee as well now you mention it. Decent coffee, big old queue. 

    Yes my need for coffee has never been high enough to justify the time I'd have to spend in the queue after sorting out food for me and two kids.

    The ultimate service anyone could do for the masses would be to make a food map.

    My favourites (and some others) are marked on here if you can zoom in and read my writing and shorthand.

    One to avoid - Tor Rugby Club Burritos.

    My other favourites from Glastonbury and other festivals who were at the farm this year include:

    Indonesian Coconut Curry and Open Sesame Persian Kebabs (both by BBC Introducing)

    Burger & Beyond - preferred to Eat The Farm and Burger Bear (on left on way from Leftfield into Other)

    Jumping Bean Burrito (left hand side as you look at Other)

    Dosa Deli Indian Street Food (Williams Green) 

    Paellaria (Williams Green and between BBC Introducing and Other)

    Crumbleshack (near Information Point opposite Leftfield)

    Just Desserts (near pharmacy roughly half way as the crow flies between Bandstand and Leftfield)

    There was also lots of love here for Mexican Seoul (near BBC Introducing) and Bayou New Orleans Surf n Turf Kitchen (West Holts)

    And Proper Coffee (on left as you leave Williams Green towards West Holts) is regarded by many as having the best coffee on site)

    Has there been chat about the (very distressing) possibility of a George Ezra headline slot? 

    He has a big GSH from 17-29 June, and is playing other shows nearby.  Subbed the Pyramid in 2019 in front of a HUGE crowd, then did the JP secret set in 2022 (which is often a sign of a "proper" slot next time).  And there aren't really many places to go from his 2019 Pyramid slot....

    I sincerely hope there is nothing in this - would be disappointed but not at all surprised if he turned up though.

    Subbing TRNSMT next year, and has played the last three festivals, so I think we're safe from that.

  16. Crowd control issues

    in Chat

    Posted

    I was at the Arcadia/Park crush with my daughter trying to reach @Miynwho was already inside Arcadia.

    He was messaging me giving instructions on where to meet and that there was loads of room inside. I was saying we're stuck and can't move anywhere. It made no sense to him.

    I've never been in a crush like it anywhere in my life. Basically they forced a big crowd many of whom wanted to be in Arcadia to stay outside on the paths whilst there was plenty of capacity in the field. If it's that bad despite Chemical Brothers cancelling what will it be like for Calvin Harris?

    Photo really doesn't do it justice but the £5 breakfast from Eat the Farm was really good.

    Great sausage patty, bacon, melted cheese and perfect egg in a brioche roll. Heinz and HP sauce.  Next to cashpoints between Leftfield and West Holts.
