Deaf Nobby Burton Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Like the OP, I really look forward to the food and have great intentions to try loads of different places, unfortunately the reality is I normally miss breakfast, have a half decent lunch and then I'm generally so pissed later on quality doesn’t come into into it. So I essentially have maybe 4/5 good meals from decent places at most. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quark Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 What about the bread place up by the Greenpeace field? Can never remember what its proper name is, but a big old wodge of their pesto (I think) focaccia was something else. Anywhere new that has an entertaining or pun-based name always gets a look in. It's the same principle as trying new ale, always go for one that has the best name To avoid, any of the noodle places really. I've yet to find one that isn't overly greasy and just full of overly-flavoured sauces. Like they're trying to hide the fact they're a bit shit. And this will be heresy to many, but Le Grand Bouffe.....no thanks. Just don't get the love for it. It's the White Stripes of food stands for me.

Smoking Buns would have had my attention like a shot. The only time I've wished I'd bred was when a children's shoe shop opened up near where I worked called "Lillifoot". I had no excuse to go in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkic Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 There was a great Greek stall in The Park last year, conveniently next to the bar where they do amazing Bloody Mary’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SloopJohnB Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Breakfast from the Bath Rugby Club and there was a great steak baguette place which I think was next to the Welsh Oggie place if memort serves me right.....oh.....and the Quack Shack ?

paulshane Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) I miss the Mr Toastie van, it used to be where the stupid hat stalls are now, just by the rotating workers sculpture thing in williams green. Yes, there is a new upstart, the royal mail themed one thats just up a bit near the kids field entrance, but it's just not the same. Still buy one every day though. Cheese and onion, in two bits of bread. Never fails. Edited October 10, 2018 by paulshane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karaseen Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Is Annie Mae's Mac really that good? I had it once and thought it was shit. Seemed to be made with powdered cheese. Maybe I'll give it another go. I would also recommend the Vegan Burger van - called Veggies - right at the start of the green futures fields. I'm not a vegan but they are delicious and only 5.50 - loads of grilled onions and you put your own condiments on. They have aioli! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_c Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) The Rotisserie Chicken place is the bomb, as is the Asian street food place near the Other Stage, right beside the Ostrich burger joint.

For a vegiburger they are excellent and just across the drag from our place. Worth noting that they open well before the festival gates open (possibly on the Monday evening? ) and stay open all day on the Monday after as well.

Feels unadventurous to be eating a burger when there's so much on offer, but this place is the very last word in burgers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gets me out of my Goan Fish kedgeree/aussie steak sandwich/other stage pad thai rut. Also makes me look around a bit more. Lots of places start off good but rest on their laurels after a few years. Once per festival, or once ever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. That’s true, it’s basically a healthy fruit smoothie to wash down the goodness! Although I’ve been aware of it, I’ve never actually tried Ghandi’s Flip Flop, must change that next year. I would like to go vegan but I don’t think I’d hack it, I don’t want to live in a world without cheese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was once saw things as you did. Having said that, I had some dairy-free cheese on a crumpet with pickle for breakfast this morning, and I'm making mac and cheese, where the cheese is made of flour, oil, almond milk, butternut squash, and nutritional yeast, for tea tomorrow.

karaseen Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 I also keep meaning to try Ghandi's Flip Flop, but once I get there I'm terrified of a curry. It combined with Brothers Pear sounds like a recipe for disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filthy Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 A garlic guzzler burger has saved my life many times. Sometimes only a dirty burger will do. We thought grand bouffe had gone downhill the last couple of years, potatoes not cooked properly and portions reduced. Love Paella, Le rac shack, goan fish curry.
