Any recommendations on good fried chicken/barbecue/hot dog places? I love that style of food but am frequently disappointed!

Hot Dog Place....

Piggy Smalls at the West Holts is always a winner

Indian Street Food in Williams Green for a big bowl of onion bhajis. Tor Rugby club for cheeseburger chips and gravy for about £6 when you are craving some stodge. Gonna have to try the Kedgeree from Goan fish this year as I've been making my own at home so I would like to see how it compares.

Not sure if anyone has called them out yet but "Le Rac Shak" is a firm staple in my Glasto meal calendar. Sausage meat and potatoes covered in melted raclete cheese.

The jerk chicken place on the corner of Williams Green. Ask them for the under the counter hot sauce!

Elvis Juice is grapefruit, that's one of your five a day, see? No Bones Jones is my religion, that stuff is incredible. For Indian food, Ghandi's Flip Flop is a final night tradition at both Glastonbury and Green Man for me. Big fucking mountain of food, you have to leave it right until the end because you'll need to spend the whole of the next day sitting down just digesting the bugger.

The beautiful people at Manic Organic hold a very special place in my heart, always there to sort me out with a massive plate of greens and grains, lovely coffee, lovely brownies. Gaia bless them.

This year at Green Man we came upon a stall which I think might have been called Flavours Of Africa, it had a lot of signs up of awards it had won for Glastonbury. I've never seen it at Glastonbury before, but I think the man said they're around Silver Hayes usually. It was absolutely gorgeous, I had jollof rice, plantain, and spinach curry, some of the nicest festival food I've ever eaten. I'll definitely be seeking that one out next year.

A few of my group this year who are normally omnis have said they're going to challenge themselves to a fully vegan Glastonbury this year, so I'm going to enjoy introducing them to the good life. If anybody else fancies doing the same, I find this is a good resource http://www.veggies.org.uk/campaigns/vegan/vegan-glastonbury/ but it's not exhaustive by any means.

Could swear this was next to the Paella place in William's Green

I've been looking for a fried chicken place for years, sometime a mumbled '3pieceandchipsplease' is whats needed, but apparently, and I'm possibly wrong, the rules for traders prohibit big vats of hot oil, which rules out fried chicken type stalls ?

Buddha Bowl nr Pyramid.  Manic Organic nr Greenpeace - huge portions

By Barbecue, I'm going to assume you mean slow smoked American style rather than some bloke half cooking frozen sausages and burgers in the British tradition.

Smoke Stak have been mentioned on this thread already but the past couple years have been sadly absent from most festivals they'd previously done including Glastonbury.

I only discovered them this year, so am not sure if they have been or will be at Glastonbury, but Hot Box were at 3 festivals I went to this year and were utterly fantastic. Hopefully they'll find a place.

Ah, I see - thanks for the info!

[HansGruber]

The last 2 times I've been I've had a really nice breakfast crepe in the morning before it starts getting busy between Silver Hayes and The Other Stage, wish the SmokStak would come back as well they did amazing bbq.

I thought I’d try something different on the Thursday last year, so I had a vegetarian day - big brekky at manic organic was amazing, my only real gripe is that it filled me up for far too long so I didn’t want to eat again until about 3pm ??? But then I had the tikka daal at the Goan Fish place and that was an absolute revelation. It kicks the Goan curry into a cocked hat, and I never ever thought I’d be saying that. Absolutely cracking ?? 

I dinnered with some form of halloumi-related thing but I can’t remember where, or anything about it at all. I’m blaming the bag of cans I’d bunged down me by then . . . . Veggie Thursday was a real triumph though, I’ll do that again for sure

Of all the threads this one might make me sadest of all that I didn't get a ticket ☹️

Truly Crumptious in Avalon does lush crumpets and toppings. Homemade salted caramel. Yum.

The Pizza place by Greenpeace. Pizza Taban is it? They also do nice homemade lemonade which is great when it's a hot one.

Usual mentions for Manic Organic, Goan Fish Curry, Linda's Loaf, Tibetan Kitchen.

I love this place. Only ever had the savoury ones. Will try the salted caramel for sure next time. The field of Avalon is the perfect place to start the day.

Do you remember if this will be the same as the Paella place at EotR? I consider myself one of the leading exponents of vegan paella, but this shit was real, it came very close. Portions were enormous too.

It's as good as a crustless paella can be

Fuck paying £8 for a bowl of rice with a prawn in it.

[Madyaker]

I got an amazing toastie last year in the SE corner somewhere. It was very late at night / early morning too. Ordering food is a bloody nightmare on acid. Hands down the best toastie ive ever eaten in my life.

Are these the ones that set up at Beautiful Days as well perchance? They did an amazing goats cheese and chutney type one...

[karaseen]

I did not go to Beautiful days, but it is listed on their website festival calendar.

From what I can remember their stall is smallish van/trailer type thing. Ring a bell?
