Deluxe Diner & Sunday Roasts

[Keithy]

Just had an email from the Deluxe Diner at Glasto; they're open for orders!

This year at Glastonbury Festival we will be running the fabulous Rocket Lounge Restaurant in Shangri La again which has lain dormant since the last time we did it in 2010, as well the Sunday Lunches we did for the first time last year.  Our Head Chef this year is the rising star Andy Evans who has won the Observer’s Award for best Sunday Lunch.  His food is amazing.
 
We will be publicising this via the Glastonbury website soon, and last year we sold out in 2 days, so get in quick if you want a spot

You can book in for Sunday Roast (highly recommended!) or the restaurant on the website - http://www.deluxediner.co.uk/restaurant-bookings.html

As they said, sold out very quickly last year once they publicised it

Got my midday Sunday Roast Pork all booked in!

Is that also the 2016 DJ line up on there?

I think it might be; they've update the whole website since I last looked in Feb so I presume they're getting ready for the formal announcement

* looks like the 2015 one

I find it useful to peer in there whenever you are in the area and make a mental note of people's faces, and avoid them like the plague throughout the rest of the festival.

[Keithy]

£45 for the 3 courses is bonkers......but that sunday roast is fucking lovely on the final day

[Yokel Again]

Does nothing for my argument that Glastonbury hasn't been taken over by the middle classes.

 

 

[LeeGalvin]

£45? Fucking hell. I bet it's served in a broken plant pot, or something equally hipster.

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's gonna be one of the highlights of the weekend when Stuffed Courgette Flower, whipped Goats Cheese & Char Grilled Flat White Peach and the lads run out of the kitchen and onto my plate.

We did this last year and it was tasty! Just made it back in time for lional! But price has gone up, not sure it's worth it as it was a long walk in the middle of the day. I didn't get an email! Will hold out and have a think.

Ahhh the old Glastonbury class argument.

If you argument is 'in the last few years' then you might have a point. But they've been doing this at least for the last 14 years, back to the Lost Vagueness days (and they had silver service then), so i guess it depends when you feel it started being taken over.

 

[Keithy]

Is there a list of approved eating locations, meals and prices that adhere to the apparent class system in place at Glastonbury? 

[Waapster]

This is difficult as we don't know the line up. That posh food wouldn't taste so good if the booking clashed with someone good.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I look up to the Lobster Roll, but I look down on the Growler.

I am Middle Class Pulled Pork.

Well sir, you shall be seeing my wife and I in there. I do hope you reserve such annoyance for those that spend £15 for an undercooked chickpea curry and weak Elderflower cordial at Manic Organic or over a quid for the worst cup of tea ever at the Tiny tea tent.  Based on the quality of food of last year's Sunday lunch, you will certainly get more bang for your buck.

Oh, I'll probably also be spending another £20 on top for a bottle of wine. 

I have no desire to eat soup from a tin, like I did as a kid at Glastonbury. Apologies for ruining your festival.

The missus and I are seeing glasto as our summer holiday, so I may take her as a treat. Although I will most likely be absolutely smashed on cider by the time 6pm comes around.

[Memory Man]

sunday lunch is £17 which if its decent is only a £5 mark up from what you'd pay in a relatively decent pub, and possibly less in london.

the restaurant prices are a bit mental considering you can get michelin standard food for that price outside festival gates. looks lovely tho. if i had the cash i would go for it.

[H.M.V]

£17 is worth every fucking penny for that plate of heaven on the Sunday after being going at it hard all weekend. One of the highlights of the weekend for me. There's a thread on how awesome the food is at Glasto, how the fuck is this any different? I for one can't wait to get me gnashers round some roast beef and gravy. 

[ICGenie]

Sounds good but I really don't like the idea of making an appointment at Glastonbury, especially not this far out.

[Charm]

Really want to book the Sunday lunch but know I will probably end up missing it, think I was sleeping between 12 and 3 on Sunday last year.

I'm not one for making plans at Glasto but that roast was worth the commitment. I nearly wept when it was put in front of me.

I think its funny that people think £45 for a 3 course meal at a special event is ridiculously middle class!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Probably because it is.

Fr'instance, the three course set lunch at Heston Blumenthal's Dinner restaurant in Mayfair is only £40.

If you can try and bring decent camping cutlery. Was a bit of a faff trying to get stuck into the roast with wooden knifes and forks. Top tip right there.
