munchies

[leroyjenkins]

Hi everyone!

The excitment is killing me!!! 3 sleeps!

Anyway, could you tell me what kind of food you can buy both in the arena and campsite area?? I can't decide whether to bring food. The last T i went to i spent 3 days eating chips as everything else was el ranko.. any advice would be greatfully recieved.

Till then......

P.S ORRRRRRRRRRBBBBBBBBBBIIIIIITTTTTTTTAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

I've never had food in the campsite, I'd imagine it would be your usual Burger van stuff so I always bring stuff for breakfast.

In the main arena there's quite a good variety of food, obviously you'll have your burger vans, some chinese etc...

but there's also an area selling local produce. I'd reccomend that, you'll get a very filling, reasonably healthy meal for not too bad a price (about £5-£6?)

Barbreck Farms – serving haggis, mince n tatties and roast beef/roast lamb rolls

Highland Hotroasts – traditional split roast rolls, venison burgers and generally all things meaty!

Kingscross Herbs – serving vegetarian dishes and organic beefburgers

Seriously Good cheese toasties – all things cheesey!

Strawberry grange – strawberries and ice cream/cream and hot puddings

The Laughing Stock – all things seafood using fish from Kingdom Seafresh

The maccaroni cheese and the FREE chocolate fudge cake I had in the arena last year was amazing.

Then I had a 'burger' from one of the burger vans, but it was a ball of slime and grease.

I'd stick to the local stalls as rexclark has listed above.

Costs you like £5 and will last a couple of days.

I really want to try and travel light this year, last year had too much stuff!

Will probs just buy food at the arena if im hungry, but at £6 its a bit much, wanna have pennies left for booze of course!

maybe take some ready cooked pasta someone else has already suggeted!

[smutchie]

Or do what i'm doing...

Buying 2 meat feast pizzas, cooking them on the Thursday night so I can take them to Rockness Yum yum!

Essentials!

I wouldn't reccomend anyone bringing cooked chicken, we did last year and by Saturday morning our tent smelt like sweaty chicken. Not very nice at all.

I think i'll be taking some small tubs of creamed rice for breakfast each day, perhaps some tinned fruit.

Also probably some crisps and biscuits.

EDIT. I forgot the most important item of all, Haribo!

[Andrew1991]

I went to tesco yesterday and bought a load of cans to eat cold. Spaghetti bolognese, chicken casserole, broth etc. Will probably be rank but it's cheap.

[rexclark]

I Thought id be cheaper bringing food with me, got noodles, pasta, beans, hotdogs etc and a wee stove

by the time i got all that ill have been cheaper buying food there

I read online that there is going to be a pizza van there this year

[Glitter+Vodka]

Might do a smutchie and cook a wee pizza, and some smiley faces, most likely will get scoffed on the bus up tho to line my stomach.
