[waterfalls212434]

Anyone know if the Dorset blue soup people are back in 2016? such good hangover food! especially when they give you half a loaf to mop up the amazing soup with. Blue cheese and mushroom was it last year? Soup of the gods!

Hope Lynda's Loaf is there again, their cheesy bread is the best thing ever.

The bagel boy stand in west holts was epic. The smoked salmon and cream cheese is an absolute worldy. Woof.

Thank you both these are now on my must eat list.

If burgers are your thing I had an amazing one up at the top of the park last year. Really was good, even made a point of going back to tell them. Sorry, couldn't tell you what the place was called. 

It's slightly outside of The Park, but in the same kind of direction - I suspect you mean Boom Burger, which was by the fence next to Strummerville?

Best burger on site last year for me by some distance. Hopefully they're back.

Anybody else ever tried the samosa stand near the other stage? Great to keep you going without eating anything too heavy. 

I have just read back about 4 pages of this thread with a broken jaw, 5 weeks since I was last able to eat solid food. I think in this moment I am more excited about the food line-up than anything else. I am going to dream of burgers and pizza tonight.

There's a place that does fresh custard tarts, I think in the greenpeace area and they are fantastic.  They wouldn't hurt your jaw

Haha I'm hoping by the time the festival arrives I will be back to a relatively normal diet, but in any case custard tarts are ace so will definitely look out for them. 

I wonder how realistic would it be to do a food map similar to the bar maps that are knocking around? Obviously the food places are more likely to move, but I have noticed plenty of them in the same place on consecutive years too.

Will the great Welsh Oggie's be there this year, that pasty was a godsend.

This will be my 4th Glastonbury but I haven't been since 2013. One thing I have always hankered for is a good old-fashioned fish n' chip van, which I've never seen there. Have there been any developments, or is there anything similar somewhere, please?

[CaledonianGonzo]

There's a fish'n'chip stall in Silver Hayes opposite the Wow Stage.  The one time I tried it - many moons ago now - it wasn't great.

There was a fish & chip place in Bella's field last year. Not cheap, but very tasty

Tis a great idea, I have no idea how much they move about so whether it's possible?

I think I tried that stall last year, had to throw most of it away as it was dreadful.

Yeah this one is pretty crap. Think there's one between Other and Pyramid (the opposite side to the Silver Hayes route) which is also pretty crap. I sometimes get lured in by the smell and the cravings, but you have to remind yourself that it will inevitably be pretty crap.

[CaledonianGonzo]

As it's best eaten fresh I don't think it really lends itself to festival catering. 

Though I'd also say the same about pizza.

[giantkatestacks]

The  burger place at the top of the Park was amazing last year- not the one towards Strummerville but just at the top of the field. 

[JoeyT]

I go to the festival with all the best will in the world to eat at the wonderful places suggested in these threads.

I end up getting so plastered that my choice of eating establishment is usually decided on by the following criteria:

1) What's the queue like?

2) How messy will it be / will I look like a pig at feeding time whilst eating it?

3) Can I stand up to eat it or is it a sit down job?

I really must try harder to find these places mentioned though. However I feel the food establishments in great location to the various bars I frequent will always win

I can't remember a recent Glastonbury that they weren't there so I would hope to see them back this year (to be fair, my memory is pretty hazy at the best of times, so I'm possibly not the best to comment)

I have just emailed the Dorset Bue Soup people and they say they will NOT be doing Glasto this year. Pastures new beckon apparently.

There is an old lorry, an FG that sells 'Traditional' Fish and Chips. It used to be in the SE corner.

Avoid it at all costs. The fish is reconstituted mush in breadcrumbs rather than batter. Really expensive and absolutely disgusting.

 

just found it.

 

 Nice lorry though.

[CaledonianGonzo]

The place in silver Hayes is a bit more upmarket and has things like fried whitebait and so on, but....nah.

Best option is to get the crabcakes and chips from the Pembroke Beach Food company (if they're there).

[Gnomicide]

The fish & chip plaice (arf) in Bella's Field was good last year, I ate there twice which is normally a good sign.

[joy114]

Dosa Deli have confirmed they will be back this year, opposite the Queen's Head on Williams Green.

It's amazing how much it can vary. I live quite close to Lyme Regis, and you can get really good fish and chips at one end of the prom, and crap processed stuff like you describe at the other end! 

Just did a quick google, and this was the place we went to last year. 

not my picture, no idea what the woman in it is doing, but it's the only photo I could find.

Crikey, is that a factor?

I've been going wrong for last few decades if so
