They seem to get slated, but I LOVE the giant Yorkshires! Can be found to the left of the pyramid stage (if facing it)

Those were amazing, nice and filling and well worth thee £5 IMO.

[markeee]

[mike99]

I find the further you go away from the main stages the cheeper the food. The park area plases to eat has good portion sizes and not to bad price wise

Undoubtedly will be. Doesn't sit particularly easily with me. Hey, I'm not one to preach to people or suggest how they should go about enjoying themselves. After all, festivals are about having the freedom and choice to do as you please, as long as your actions don't have a negative impact on others, but it's not very "Glastonbury" is it? Expensive high-end food on sale to those who can afford it against the backdrop of the festival's history of campaigning for social justice, supporting the underdog and not wasting water or resources, while supporting charities who work almost exclusively in the developing world, where starvation is an issue for millions, such as Water Aid and Oxfam.

Maybe I've missed something and a large slice of the proceeds from this go directly to those charities - in which case, good on those who have set it up, and if there's a demand there for such a menu and the money is being channeled towards a good cause, fair play.

For me, though, all of this boutique, 'slum it in luxury at Glastonbury' stuff leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I pitched this to my mates, and we agreed not to do it; I'm sure they won't mind my editing down some points from the chat

1) if it sounds like far too much of an effort whilst sitting at home it will definitely be far too much effort when pissed/ hungover/ both/ muddy/ smelly. Give me some falafel, a goat curry and a sausage wrapped in bacon anyday

2) will everyone really feel like paying an extra £35 on top of other costs, for a meal

3) what happens if your best band is on then?

4) does the music part really sound good? Could be crap

5) and the one that swings it for me - can you imagine the kind of Telegraph reading pink shirted public school corporate hospitality w*nkers who might be your company for something like this - could be a bloody disaster

And this convinced me that I'd rather a big nosh up at the Thali cafe.

Good point. It definitely goes against the 150,000+ majority who will all be experiencing 3rd world living conditions and subsisting purely on a handful of rice and a few drops of contaminated water a day at Glastonbury...

[Langdale Wolf]

Surely sitting in discomfort eating something on your lap from a paper plate whilst delicately balancing a full pint of cider on the ground next to you is what eating at Glastonbury is all about?!?

That place is the culinary equivalent of taking a shower at Glastonbury. It might be nice, but it's Glastonbury - you're not doing it right.

I think you're taking my point to extreme there. Of course I'm not suggesting that everybody attending a festival should live in third world conditions, but it's a festival with a strong and fiercely proud grounding in socialist views, support for the impoverished and an emphasis on living sustainably. All I was saying is, personally, I find such an openly bourgeois and indulgent menu at such high prices somewhat at odd with that, and at odds with what for most of us will be our abviding memory of going to festivals - scraping by on a budget and having a good time despite the lack of luxuries or creature comforts.

I'm not suggesting for a minute that everyone at Glastonbury in the present day is their with a burning sense of social justice, I'm well aware that Glastonbury's core audience has shifted away from the left to a more middle-class, perhaps politically apathetic, audience - as has society generally to some extent.

Of course I was taking your point to the extreme, just as comparing what most people experience at the festival with the 3rd world's daily conditions is an extreme.

There is a school for thought that we all need to pay more for our food and then we may actually start to get food instead of highly processed so-called food (made up almost wholly of over refined grains, corn fructose and soy beans) littering every shelf of our supermarkets. In Defence Of Food is an excellent read on that subject.

Succinct and accurate!

It's a bit like sleeping in Camp Kerala. You could have a shower every night then sleep in a clean double bed with fresh linen and room service. But for me, it would ruin the festival experience.
