That's them. Seriously good pizza. ?

They were next door to a decent Indian wrap stall iirc. Hopefully both be back this year

Starting to salivate at the thought of getting a Welsh Oggy fix

I find it too sickly at room temperature but its nice and chewy from the freezer. Highly recommend you try it.

Wonder if this is an Irish thing as I always froze them as well. I'm not mad keen on them at room temperature but love them frozen. My thinking is that maybe they are best at extremes. Extremely hot and extremely cold.

Ya’ll know you can get mars bar ice cream, right? It’s heavenly.

It is although an entirely different thing to a frozen mars bar. Both have their place in this world though.

Would love Smokestak back this year. Or someone similar. They did a great brisket. 

Good article from 2016 here with some tasty pics!

Not sure if it's been brought up yet (and apologies if it has) but the best place I found was a Chinese place by the Other Stage. Can't remember the name of it for the life of me but it was awesome and situated about halfway in the selection of stalls circled. 

No idea if it's gonna be there again this year but hoping so and hoping it's in the same spot.

My three favourites that I'm hoping for a 2019 return:

1. The Hippie Chippie.

2. The Toastie Postie (I think)

3. Rockabilly Chilli (the best dirty nachos I've ever eaten)

I have a grudge against The Hippie Chippie since one of their staff members clearly thought they could try and short change me and got quite affronted when I asked for the rest of my change. I thought it was overpriced for what it was as well. 

 

Always good to remind people though if possible don't pay with £20 notes. Some dishonest staff will give you change of £10 in the hope that you don't notice because they assume people are hammered.

Yeh this happens a lot, I recall back in the 80s/90s when I did a lot of outside bar work all the staff being told by the bar manager if they dipped their fingers in the till he would break them, and him then telling staff to watch out for "w*nkered" punters and short change them if you wanted to make a few quid !!

Always stuck in my mind, and now if I have to pay with large notes I always make a point of saying , "sorry Ive nothing smaller than a £20"  , instantly warns them off trying

Hippie Chippie is over rated and over priced (imo)

Not sure why they weren't there in 2017. The brisket sambo was glorious for a Sunday hangover.

Its fine for a quick carb snack. They've made a recovery after changing their recipe in 2016 to soggy over herbed wet socks. Back to tasty numbers again now.

Their 2016 decline shook me to my core, I don't know if I can trust them again

They opened a bricks and mortar restaurant and knocked the fests on the head iirc.

Unless I see absolute rave reviews for a place, I won't go back there if I've tried in and not enjoyed it.  Mainly because there's so much other stuff to try!

I'll bear that in mind.... but I did like the chips...

In 2016 there was a stall doing triple cooked chips for (as I recall) a princely 4 quid.  They were delicious enough I bought them more than once.

Aha. Also may have been a reason why they weren't invited back, if they in fact weren't invited back.

It momentarily shook my faith in efester's recommendations. I'd not tried them before and was disgusted. I was glad to hear later that it was a blip but I doubt I'll risk them again.

Agreed, I had it for first time at Latitude (Maybe 2014?) and then saw em at Glasto but they’d changed everything, loads less toppings etc for even more £, shame.

This happened to me with those halloumi cones by the pyramid. Not sure these were a blip though.
