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. 

I ate there before the EFests meet. Fish was ok, chips were the usual frozen deep fried burger van 4/10 variety.

Is Piggie Smalls back? That's my main food concern

 

After a quick look on twitter... THEY ARE.

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.

The pizza place in William's Green is great. Well good enough for me to go twice!

Not sure if they actually made the dough there and then but it looked fresh when they were making the pizzas to order.

Oh my gawd. I did not know Twisted Burger where there. Fingers crossed for them again... me and the boyfriend head to the Harley at least once a month for a burger and a pint of Aspalls! 

I ended up having about three last year! It's the same menu as the stall in The Moor Market so it doesn't have any of the specials on (speaking of which I'm not particularly happy they took the Holy Cluck off the restaurant menu, my favourite one!) Still bloody good mind, though for some reason they couldn't use the potato flour buns at Glastonbury last year. Oh and they have Hendos to put on your chips. I put some Hendos in a plastic bottle last year to have on my Square Pie, worked an absolute treat :)

[O'Doyle Rules]

Is it wrong that I am more excited for the food than anything else this year? 

[Larraht]

Wholefood Heaven have confirmed that they are back with their Buddha boxes - veggie massaman curry with Halloumi on top. Proper job.

Hendos is Henderson's Relish and is kind of Similar to Lee and Perins but far superior

That has my name written all over it!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Using halloumi in a world where paneer exists is on a par with whichever stall last year gave me a tortilla with my chicken tikka.

you see I went there last year and didn't think much of it as it was really dry, chips went down like lead balloons

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

Shit. My missus will be gutted. She lives off their toasties when shes there.

You get them from a very small stall (not very obvious) on the right hand side walking from the Pyramid to Leftfield. Really very good food. Great find for us last year.

[shuttlep]

I always look forward to the food so much

 

then when i am there i can barely eat

 

 

my own fault

I sent Square Pie a tweet earlier and delighted to say that they've confirmed they'll be there.

A must visit for me and queues only seem to get longer over the weekend which suggests others agree.

Strange. Maybe it's just that tastes differ, or maybe we just got lucky with a really freshly-cooked batch or something, but I thought they were pretty good. 

[pie_and_a_pint]

WHAT?! No Dorset Blue Soup? A travesty...

Fish and chips from the place in Theatre (by the entrance the Acoustic end) were excellent last year. Twice

[maclauk]

Anyone know if Mama Munas Kitchen will be back? It did spicy Ethiopian food between West Holts and Left field. I went back 3 times so I could try all their dishes.

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.

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

 

 

I think this is The Sea Cow, their resteraunt business closed down at the end of last year so I doubt they'll be back. 

Their problem was always that  quality of thier food was massivelay variable, both from their resteraunt and the festival van, I've had some of the best fish and chips I've ever eaten and some of the worst.

The people who run it are so nice too - I told them I was really pleased to find them (they had moved since 2013, the year I found them) and had been banging onto my pals about the food. They gave me extra Halloumi and lots of lovely conversation in return.

just sticking this back up as people on other threads have asked where it is. we should really get glastonbury to do a food line with areas as well as the other lineup.
