airwaves Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Morning coffee and a whole manner of other hot drinks - Tiny Tea Tent, on the main north/south drag leading to the green fields Enjoy. I wouldn't miss it. But prepare yourself, it is vast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosj Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Hi, first of all, get yourself to a festival meet like on Weds evening, after cracking open a tinny with those camping round you, and you'll have company when you wish it. Food is generally good and varied, everyone has a favourite. Have a gander on the photo thread for ideas, veggie and non - veggie. Sorry to be non specific but there is so much choice, like Williams Green, the Park etc. I go for the music too, but please make time for the Green Fields, cabaret and other areas, you may see them all after 12 festivals :-) I'm still only on my 4th time.

tom22 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 There's enormous amounts of unbelievably good food around. Only the generic ones by Pyramid stage are worth avoiding. Loads of people bang on about the veggie options but frankly their meaty counterparts are all much better. My favourites from the last couple of years in no particular order are - Le Rac Shack - Melted raclette cheese on potatoes with chorizo or merguez sausage - Baba G’s – Lamb Royal Rump wrap - Goan Fish Curry - Jolly Hog – top sausages - Strumpets with Crumpets – ideal at 3am There’s loads. Try as much as possible. Have six meals a day, that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quark Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Can never remember the name, but if you like veggie there's an awesome falafel stand near West Holts. Their signature one has something like 14 ingredients in the salad, and it's bloody lovely. I hit it at least 3 times over the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungo57 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 - Goan Fish Curry I had a Goan Fish Curry from West Holts field last time, I didn't really think much of it. Maybe it was just a bad batch as lots of people on here seem to rate it rather highly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did very well last year and I reckon he will get featured in the festival handbook thing. I had a great coffee from somewhere in the circus fields...

The Nal Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Loads of people bang on about the veggie options but frankly their meaty counterparts are all much better. Yeah vegetarians are total c**ts. The coffee place beside the fish curry stall at the right of the West Holts stage (as you look at it) is the best Ive had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picles Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I love Anna Mae's Mac'n'Cheese but I don't remember where they were last year. I was lost every time I found them. there was a really nice grilled cheese place as well. don't remember the name, i guess it was grilled cheese van or something obvious. They were in a slightly muddy place, with some music on the background. that's all i can remember now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
**claire** Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Le Rac Shack is one of our faves - in the Williams Green-ish area. Great wood-fired pizza in the area opposite the Glade, & also a veggie one nr Astrolabe etc. Can also recommend the Tiny Tea tent, great for a spot of people watching. You are going to have a blast. Trust us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Le Rac Shack sounds great - i usually just settle for whatever's nearby but i'm gonna have to go hunting down some of these places mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
**claire** Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 You won't regret it FF - I have dreams about that cheese/chorizo combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep great coffee, and the the fish curry stall does an absolutely amazing Kedgeree for breakfast with this lovely green chilli sauce. Top combo.

Leggins Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I have some making up to do after being ill on the Saturday last year. I missed out on at least 3 meals after not being able to eat anything. Le Rac Shack is on my hit list now for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostypaw Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Thanks everyone, sounds like there's an awesome variety to choose from Think I'll eat better than at home!*titter*You will look back upon this thread and laugh at yourself in a good way. The one thing I would say is avoid the huge BREAKFAST tents if you want nice food not slop or it'll all go horribly wrong. The mass catering stalls are distinguishable by their near identical signage and range of product, you'll see what I mean and just avoid....

A13 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Really good, proper coffee place between William's Green & Circus/West Holts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie_corrigan Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 There's an amazing coffee place not far from the merchandise stall by the other stage facing the path towards silver Hayes and I know it's f@£ing useless for you as its your first time but the guardian lounge used to do sound tea and coffee...... God I miss the guardian lounge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
