Zoo Music Girl Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Just made it to the end of this beast! Feels like a great personal achievement and saw awesome recommendations for next year. I really fancy Strumpets with Crumpets. I tried a fair few new places for me this year so it was a win on this front: No Bones Jones - finally! And oh my god how good. We weren't sure if we were just stoned because we couldn't stop talking about it but judging by this thread perhaps justified. Thali Palace (I think) in Green Fields - great plate of yummy veggie curry stuff Bangra Bus - see above Garlic mushrooms on toast from a place near John Peel - a phenomenal breakfast And a shout out to some old favourites: Japanese tempura noodles from West Holts - a tradition with a pint of Brothers. Greasy as hell but I love them. Olis Halloumi Cones near Pyramid - enough said. Leon in West Holts - didn't make it there this year but for a big plate of veggie deliciousness it's mecca A stall near Goan Curry for its jacket potato and coleslaw - simple but great - and a perfectly pitched egg baguette the next day Tea and Toast - didn't make it this year but great cheap brekkie The breakfast club - all the way out by ped gate A and a bit pricey but by god I loved it in 2014 Awesome cornish ice cream near pyramid Wonderful lemonade on junction of West Holts and green fields Must have forgotten some - a great year for food for me.

coughedoutmyheart Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Too early to resurrect this thread? Last time I went was 2011... still miss a growler! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucyginger Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Never too early!! 2016 will be my 8th in a row and I have still not had goan fish curry. Can someone please make sure I do? I kick myself every year when I get home!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucyginger Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Their kedgeree is nicer. Perhaps I should try both. For science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 The spiced mackerel fillet is better than the kedgeree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardy Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 for some reason this year, I was a bit rubbish with the food. Didn't make the most of it. Think I got there and relied on too many old favourites. Hippy Chippy, Goan Fish, Grand Bouffe etc. Need to get out of my rut for next year and be a bit more adventurous. Or more of a fat knacker. One of the two, certainly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloseph Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 one of my best food decisions of Glastonbury 2015 was getting a hog roast for breakfast from somewhere near the Other stage on Sunday morning I chucked a load of brown sauce on that bad boy and tucked in, I tell you I've never cured a hangover so quickly I will be doing that again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eks101 Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Had both the Goan fish curry and the growler for the first time this year. Thought both were OK but nothing more. Actually preferred the Paella I had near the Pyramid on the Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffieldlady Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 The Growler is an ideal breakfast / hangover snack... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 I'm definitely the latter. Most of my moola at glastonbury goes on scran. I thought that was just me. The running joke is how much food I manage to get through every year. If I had a fiver left and a choice between cider or Le Rac Shack, it wouldn't even be a question.

MrZigster Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Was my first grand bouffe this year. How have i missed that for so long? Because it's £7 for Sausage & Chips? Sure we've had that debate in this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartbert two hats Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Very underwhelming. Hate to blow my own trumpet but mine is just as nice.Mrs 2 hats makes it, but says she does it wrong. I like hers, so I was very excited to try the real thing in 2014. I hated it.

stuartbert two hats Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Is it horrible so far in the future then. I reckon it had probably gone off by then. Gah, you got to me seconds before the edit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartbert two hats Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Don't get me wrong i thought it was ok. But my expectations had been elevated due to people on here. And i just thought, 'that was ok.' whereas I want my glasto food to make my taste buds orgasm. I thought it was dry and a bit tasteless. Far, far inferior to their fish curry. Bit worth eating to be honest. I eat infrequently enough at that festival. Every meal needs to count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the two, certainly. Yeah mine was all a bit meh this year, 2 of my favorites gone didn't help (Pieminster and Grillstock!) but since they split up the decent stalls a bit more, its just felt like a massive trek and then anywhere half decent seemed to have a ridiculous queue.

FuzzyDunlop Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Did anyone go to the crab and lobster place near WH? I kept meaning to and never got around to it. It is on my to do list in 2016. I have heard good things. Edited October 7, 2015 by FuzzyDunlop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Did anyone go to the crab and lobster place near WH? I kept meaning to and never got around to it. It is on my to do list in 2016. I have heard good things. i was planning on going but totally forgot what area it was in! gonna have to remember that it's in the WH area because i'm determined to go next year. wish there was some kind of superlist of all the food venues and their areas - i tend to just eat at where i stumble upon rather than seeking out individual places, which is good, but i miss out on stuff like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Didn't go this year, but went about 3 times in 2015. They wouldn't have had lobster and crabcakes back in the 1990s when the world was young and alive and full of fresh possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Lfc Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) I've not read through all the thread or it would take a long time but is their any buffets of any sort in Glastonbury? and if so how much do they cost?

MrZigster Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 If you're bigging up the mediocre kedgeree and dissing the amazing tartiflette you need your taste buds testing old boy. And penguins right about the chorizo breakfast that's next door so you could do amazing breakfast immediately followed by cock-on lunch! Dissing the price not the food. I did finally get around to trying a tartiflette sausage around midday on the Monday a few years ago. Had it in a baguette as a hot dog and think I paid about £2 for it. Probably mentioned elsewhere on this thread that I had to admit it's probably the best sausage I've ever tasted. That may have had to do with the time of day though. The number of times I've gone back on site on the Monday after having packed up and lugged everything back to the car, then realising I'm starving 'cause I've skipped breakfast and there's hardly anything left open. I've had quite a few "this is bloody delicious" moments on the Monday. Never heard the expression "cock-on lunch" before. Doesn't exactly bring up an appetising image.

I've had quite a few "this is bloody delicious" moments on the Monday. Indeed. In 2010 ( I think), I'd done the perfect amount of daytime drinking for an afternoon Growler to be a sublime experience hitting spots of satisfaction that can rarely be achieved. I had one for lunch without much drinking in 2014 and it tasted like a part baked baguette containing shit chips with cheap cheese, undercooked bacon and disgusting sauces. You know, a Growler. Context is everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoptildrop Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Bumping this up as want to see food pictures lol Must admit I'm terrible at just not eating enough so my culinary experiences at Glastonbury are limited but here's a few pics Manic Organic curry's are lovely and seem to be a Thursday night tradition Well done cheese toastie from the Park but I like them done this well Chilli vat was to the right of Other stage near the Glade side, not bad portion and was tasty Other places I've eaten which were nice: Bhudda cafe in the greenfields Pie place in the Park was saving grace for me had kebab meat n chips from somewhere opposite Cornish arms, which was actually okay wasn't impressed by roaming rotisserie near williams green though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
