Veggie food?

[denwyn]

Last year was my first visit and being a vege i was a bit concerned about the vege food situation and the general hygene. The vege food on offer was very good,a bit pricy but thats the norm for any festival. Hygene was from what i saw acceptable on most stalls, i did see a few that left a bit to be desired,but on the whole it was all ok. Don't buy down by the main stage areas, take a trip away and you get much better food at a slightly cheaper price. I'm going again next year, and while i will buy 75% of my food there i will still take some packet stuff, pasta ect just to cook up myself

I'm 100% strict vegetarian and I have never found it a problem finding decent veggie food at Glasto.

The only problem I do have is deciding where to eat and how I'm going to shift that excess 5 -6lbs that I always seem to gain at Glasto.

Manic Organic do a mean veggie breakfast, green futures do the nicest pakora. The garlic kitchen is a haven for garlic loving veggies (such as my self) ohh I can taste the garlic mushrooms

I find that a nice veggie oggie warms you up on those chilly Glasto nights as well.

Honestly, the range of veggie foods is staggering! I don't bother bringing food with me anymore!

Trust me, you won't go hungry!!

If you eat fish, the fish curry place to the right of the Jazzworld stage, as you look at it, was the dogs bollox last year.

[William of Walworth]

Yeah, I had their one and only non fish, entirely veggie curry option, a Goan thing, and it was well tasty

Looks like I won't be going hungry then! haha.

Hi all, I'm not veggie but like MikeB & Katster & others have said, the veggie food @ Glasto is excellent.

I love my "Full Monty" cooked breakfast at a Festival and try to get a good breakfast each day to set me up.

This year was no exception, although I did find a veggie only place in The Greenfields which had the most delicious breakfast that I would recommend. Will be trying to get back there again.

Also in that vicinity are 2 excellent veggie eateries I would recommend.

Walking up to the Greenfields with Jazzworld behind you there is:

1) Soup & a roll (baguette actually) - Perfect in the afternoon if you've already had breakfast and also quite cheap.

Small hut /Van, located on the main drag on the left just before you hit the crossroads before Crossieunt Neuf (I Think).

I had a delicious bowl of Carrot & Coriander with Granary bread. My Bruv had some potato & bean concoction.

Both servings were substantial and filled us up nicely.

2) PIZZA! Not only fantastic pizza but excellent as a veggie/vegan option. I can't remember about the cheese tbh, but defo veggie only toppings. Located on a left turn (would take you to Avalon) just off the main drag walking up towards Greenfields. I can't remember their name but it is the same firm who supply their pizzas at Beautiful Days. Absolutely delicious and £5 to £6 will get you a fab veggie (I think) pizza. Even great for canivores like me!

i would like to point out to any newbies that even as a committed carnivore most of the veggie food available at glatso is bloody lovely

About the only diet I think that is not covered at this festival is the cannibals!

Everyone's already said it... but I have to chime in with how great the veggie food is. In fact it's the kind of stuff you dream of the rest of the year!!

My personal favourites have all been mentioned above, but they are (in no particular order):

• Manic Organics (although I also find the breakfast too soya rich)

• Queen Delilahs for amazing salad and veggie burgers

• Permaculture kitchen in the copse at the bottom of Green Futures Field for amazing Comfry Pakora

• Small World Tent for the best tea and cake

• the kitchen run by the school in the Croissant Neuf area (can't remember the name of them??) when you are really, really hungry (massive portions, too much if you're only a little hungry)

• Buddhafields for breakfast

• the Pizza Oven place next to the Tiny Tea tent

• Moonbeam cafe for salads and spuds

• Earthheart for GREAT late night pancakes and chai

In fact... the festival should be about two weeks long otherwise you don't get to eat half the good stuff

edit: because I can't spell this morning

I'm not a vegetarian, but I enjoy being a vegetable for at least a few days at Glastonbury.

Cheers Faeries for Change, the big veggie list has been updated. At some stage I'll get everyone else's opinions on board and then post it all, with the main question being whether all the stalls on the list are still there.

As soon as someone points out that they've not a clue what I'm going on about, I'll dig out last year's thread!

[Trurzy]

Chiming in with everyone else - veggie food at Glasters is great.

I can highly recommend the Mexican place just over the stone bridge if you are coming from Pyramid to the Other Stage on the Dance Village side - it's on the right hand side opposite a smoothie/juice stall. It has the most humungous portions and the enchiladas are fab.

This my first time at Glasto so was a little bit worried about food but this thread has definitely put my mind at ease, and now I can't wait to sample all the veggie delights on offer. Thanks guys!
