Glastonbury Food

[festival_badger]

Hi,

Another of my favourite threads last year where all the tales of the different food stalls that can be found at Glasto. I was genuinely shocked by the amazing variety of food that you can find, so was hoping that people could give hints on the best places to eat?

My big excitement last year was when I discovered the Falafel stalls. I'd never had them before, but after my first I seemed to eat them every day, they were so refreshing in the baking heat.

The stalls that tempted me, but I was never brave enough to try where the Jerk stalls that were dotted about. I love spicy food, but I was wary of the consequences at glasto.....

My big disappointment was trying the legendary Growler. After reading all about them on here, I saved my trip there for the last day, and was gutted. Its just a bacon sandwich with bloody chips on! :angry:

check out this new efestivals feature.....

http://www.efestivals.co.uk/info/food.php

You can look up food stalls in various ways, and rate the food stalls you know and like.

The list of stalls within it will get to be improved over the coming months.

Does anyone remember the fish stall that was up near the entrance to the acoustic/kidz field? Hasn’t been there since 2005 I think. He had prawns bigger than your head and did a great paella type dish too.

If I find out who he is* Im starting a campaign to bring him back.

* He may still be on site and 1st in a different location but I haven’t found him.

I think getting a pie and mash is a must.

will try to find it again this year. it may have been in the greenfields/west holts general area...

[blue6field]

are the established food stalls located in the same areas year on year? a stall locator would be a great addition to the new feature!

The new efestivals feature is fantastic. This site just keeps getting better.

Manic Organic I bet, one of the best on site.

Most of the stuff around West Holts seemed to be really good. Had a huge curry there for about £6 - I couldn't finish it.

It's worth hunting about, because we had a couple of burgers etc and they were rank - can be hit and miss.

[Vieuphoria]

My friend got a chicken curry. But the chicken, although tasting and resembling chicken, actually looked more like beef. It was a kinnda f**ked up chicken

[festival_badger]

I loves spicy food, just really nervous about the currys there. Are there any really bad curry places?

[Filthy]

I'll give my usual recommendation for Yam the Cassava. Amazing ground lamb curry, they're jerk chicken is lovely too. £5-7 and on a proper plate too! Also the Goan Fish Kedgeree was a cracking breakfast last year.

I ate/drank much on Thursday last year and ended up bloated beyond belief, and had to go to my tent at 11pm to lie in the foetal position trying to parp it off.

This year: REMEMBER RENNIES.

A couple of years ago I went to some organic place by the Glade. There was a meal deal thing for £7.50. I ordered that, but they were out of samosas (FYI, it came with a samosa). I asked if I could have something in its stead. AND THEY SAID NO! And they already had my money so I got massively jipped

[guypjfreak]

can anyone tell me the name of the gourmet restaurant that was at glasto last year and if itll be there this year cheers

[Rockford]

If you like garlic, you need to get the tartiflette from La Grande Bouffe.

Amazing.

[Boris]

ahh that looks familiar just rated it and left a comment on the food feature

[eoinca]

There was a vegetarian mexican place in the Park last year that did an amazing veggie fajita. Think there was down between the pyramid and other stages as well.

MUst have had around 6 of them over the 5 days!!

Tried about 4 different crepe places and they were all shite. Really doughy and undercooked.

I did stumble across a few other tasty meals as well, maybe noodles or an indian, but I was pretty f**ked so they don't stick in the memory.
