Queueing at Glastonbury

[The Nal]

The coffee stall beside the Goan Curry place is great.

[Untz]

Am I the only person who finds the Goan fish curry distinctly average?

It really wasn't worth the bother my (Goan descent) boyfriend gave the staff by asking for sorpotel (pork offal curry) and then asking why all white people think that all that Goans eat is fish curry.

And I like Heinz beans.

[Badlands]

Had some belting fish curries when I was in Goa, the one at WH doesn't compare.

[stuartbert two hats]

because you might want to see an act in a certain venue, and he/she is wondering about where/when these queues occur....

it's not much use going somewhere else, if you want to see Jon Hopkins in The Glade at 10:30pm on Saturday...

There wasn't a queue, although it was bloody rammed.

Mushy peas are rank. Gotta have some curry sauce on those chips

Nah, it's all about chippy gravy. As a Northerner who has emigrated to London it's one of the few things I miss about the North. That and reasonable rents.

However, chips, fried rice and Chinese curry sauce...

[The Placid Casual]

Yeah, I've moved down here from Wales, and I'm hard pressed finding chippies that do a good curry sauce. The only place within a mile of me that does curry sauce with chips is maccies

[Perks]

I don't want to start any bean controversy but...

I'd actually choose Branston beans over Heinz

Wow this thread is getting as ludicrous as the headliner thread! Branston over Heinz! Outrageous. Branston just need to stick to pickle..

Burn the witch!

I'm with tommyds on this one - I'm a Branston convert. There, I've said it. I'm not ashamed...

[Tuna]

I am both a Branston Beans lad, and a southerner.

[Keithy]

I have wandered past the "chill and charge" tent, and I think the same thing every time

WHY ? in the name of all that is Holy, WHY waste you valuble time in there ??

Indeed. For the sake of £20 you can get an Anker off Amazon that will fully charge your phone 4 times, more than enough for the festival

[carlosj]

***Neil alert. neil alert!!!***

Apparently the stall next door is much better.

The kedgeree was definitely average. I never risk curry at festival so dunno about them.

I've never had an issue with curry from here, but never had the kedgeree. I really enjoy it, but it's the not the "best curry ever", just a firm favourite for the festival. The kebab stall down at the bottom right of the field is really good too. Stall next door is mezze isn't it? Looked good, but I didn't try it.

[whisty]

Excuse me, but us northerners do have some taste you know - Heinz all the way.

And it's mushy peas, dammit!

Yeh that's what you call em to make em sound like something tasty. They're mushed & an odd green colour only seen ooop north.

[Scone]

Four of us heading over from Derry......... first time at Glasto, lucky enough to get tickets this time round, flying into bristol & staying there to Thursday morning then coaching it to festival. Were staying in Worthy View apparently...me mate booked it.......i just went with it...anyway on the subject of queues again...what sort of queues can we expect for worthy view & also from worthy view to the site.

And on the bean debate...i'd go for long spaghetti from the heinz tin!! Dont like beans!

Cheers!

Nah, never touch them. Get yourself some curry sauce instead, never get that colour out of the dishcloth ever again! Chips and gravy though? Class. No sight of eels either. I'll load up the fryer in the campervan and sort you out for 'one of each' with curry sauce, then? Finbarr in there somewhere...

Hehe, that's my Tues night sorted while my minions wait in the Q. Get the waterbed heated and ready

Moorish

[whateverman]

I've been a Heinz only stalwart all my life. Recently had some Branstone beans foisted upon me. Have to say... not bad. Not as good as Heinz, obv. but actually palletable, and probably the only other brand I would actually accept.

[Winslow Leach]

On a slight side tangent, but still on the subject of takeaway food, no chips will ever beat the chili and pepper chips from Hong Kong Fusion in Norwich. £2 .50!

[eFestivals]

less of the drivel, eh?

[tommyds]

I think Moorish is the stall that does the lamb bourek, which is small but glorious

[Ted Dansons Wig]

Probably from ooop north or something. After all they do like mushed peas.

Mushed peas for fucks sake. Dont you mean crushed petit pois in a mint jou?

Another one for going against the wall when the great Southerners reckoning happens. Marching on Together

If youre in at Gate C - down and across the circus field/ cross Bella's/ cross the caberet field and turn right into West Holts - its pretty much the first proper food stall you hit on yr left. Its therefore become the totem for the start of Glastonbury for us. I'll be back there Wednesday afternoon.

Theres better curry on site - but not by much

These are directions to the Goan stall? Sorry, I wasn't clear, I know where it is, and visit 3-4 times (stats skewed by going twice in 1 day), but I'm now intrigued where your other curry suggestions are onsite? I made the comment about 'not the best curry ever', just in reply to someone who wondered what all the fuss was about, but I do rate the fish curry. Best curry ever was in India, whilst watching my Glastonbury buddy dance on a platform with some folk dancers.
