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?

That's the bunny. Lovely stuff so it was. Although it is expensive for what you get.  More of a once over the weekend treat than daily fare.

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.

There was a cheese toastie van somewhere near the gas tower (I think). 

The guy who served me was struggling to manage two orders at the same time. I think he'd had a long weekend.

Weeeeeelll, you say that but at BDs we had one for breakfast and most nights snaffled one for supper on the way home!

Oh its bad. Really bad. 

Is that the pizza place somewhere near the bottom entrance?  They do this "pizza"... I mean it looks like pizza, pretty good pizza even, but there's something wrong about it.  When you eat it, it's just not delicious.  It's a bit like plasticine or something.  It's not good at all.

I think its about halfway between the Bimble Inn and Stonebridge on the left as you enter The Park.  Somewhere there.

Their penne all'arrabbiata tasted like it was cooked by a heavily supervised 4 year old. Overcooked dry pasta, a tiny amount of bland out of the jar school kitchen standard passata with tastleless plastic parmesan cheese on top. Just shit.

There must be two terrible Italian food places near The Park.

Speaking of pizza - in croissant neuf near the path just before the railway track is a pizza tent that does vegan and non-vegan pizzas that are fantastic.  Nice little seating area. I always make friends in there.  Its next to the stall that does those mosaic mirrors, which is a fun place to browse in late at night if you want to see your face melt. But it looks pretty.

I had a great breakfast from the Scotch Egg place last year, was on the way from Pyramid to Williams Green.

Black Pudding scotch egg, 2 hash browns and beans.

I also had my 1st Annie Mac n Cheese, was ok, can imagine it would hit the spot if it was wet and cold.

Cant remember what else I had, all the years just role into one.

There's a pasta place in the Park that seems to stay open all night cos I've had breakfast there a couple of times. Couldn't really vouch for it though.....

I was going to moan about that place. The Nal is 100% accurate.... All for about £8 too!

Glastonbury isn't Glastonbury without a square pie. If you are in the park - square pie is infinitely better than piss poor pasta.

The places I keep heading back to are as follows:

  • Pizza Place next door to the Tiny Tea Ten. Lovely pizzas and reasonably priced too (£6-£7.50, though not as filling as the woodfired ones)
  • Mexican place at the Park to get their quesadillas. 
  • No Bones Jones for breakfast - alas their prices are rocketing up. About 4 years ago you could get a breakfast for £4.50, then £5.50, then £6 now I think it's about £6.50. For some reason I always feel breakfast should be cheaper than any other meal regardless of what goes in it :)
  • Paella place in William's Green. Although I take CalGon's point regarding it being "just rice" - it's really flavourful, and filling. At around £6.50 a portion it's nice to know you're going to be full for a while. At Green Man this year it obviously wasn't as hectic at Glastonbury and so I needed 4 meals a day which got a bit expensive. You need your fillers in there.
  • Goan Fish curry too obviously.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
