Fayre's Fare


Guest Sawdusty Surfer

Recommended Posts

Fayres Fare is a small cafe in the Croissant Neuf Fiels. It is a charity so doesn't charge rip off prices for rubbish like some of the outlets in Babylon. The mums at the school it raises money for bake the most amazing cakes which they sell at the festival. well worth checking out. fantastic for breakfast as they also mhave the morning papers there.

It is in the CN field, next to the main CN Tent.

Last year it made my festival as I was ready to go home on friday morning after an awful night that saw my tent leak, and me get a soaking in the morning.

They have proper tea & coffee in real mugs!. Great breakfasts, and all for a good cause, just do your bit and return your cups and plates :)

This is true! They make gorgeous cakes! We found them late Sunday one damp year when they were selling off gooey choc gateauxy cakes for 50p a slice! We made ourselves thoroughly sick like proper kids should!

Stop bumping this thread ... or the queues will be even longer next year leading to way to much drooling in anticipation of what's about to be consumed whilst waiting !!! Really love this place and enjoyed mucho tea and plenty of well naughty cake stylee munchies here at various times over the weekend. Never disappoints at any time but worthy of particular note is the most massive great slice of coffee/cream cake that I've ever seen and better still got my hands/mouth around late one evening. Absolutely bl**dy gorgeous and I have to admit a real struggle to finish it as there was seriously so much of it, but finish it I most certainly did needless to say before wobbling off several pounds heavier than when I arrived :lol:

James, if you're in contact with the peeps running the show (so to speak) then please pass on mucho appreciation to all and esp the cake bakers various for their most excellent efforts in that department of course. What a great bunch of peeps and I hope they raised loads of very well deserved do$h B) My only 'complaint' so to speak as always is that they close too early so I therefore don't get sufficient muchies opportunities and rather sadly have to resort to frequenting inferior sources late at night.

PS: sorry for thread bumpage and all that :P

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
