[Crazyfool01]

Guys as I haven't been since 2014, can some one tell me if Annie's mac cheese and parsnip ship will be back this year and where they will be.

Really? Never find myself anything other than vaguely disappointed after eating there.  Brother in law swears by it though

Same! I queued for le grande bouffe and the potatoes tasted tinned. Def not worth the money or the hype in my experience

[Padgey]

Not the same since The Growler left the site!

Annie Mae website confirms they will be there, Parsnipship website lists the events they will be at and Glastonbury is missing. 

There is a list of recommended traders and previous locations (where known) shown below, updated where I've picked up that someone has moved or won't be there.

I'm still confused by this location @Burnessie, is this walking from Pyramid to Other, the west way that comes out between Other and Silver Hayes, on the LHS?

Any recommendations pizza wise?

Here's a pic of the pandemania one.  I'm a meat eater but their vegan pepperoni was superb!  Highly recommended, nice people too

[wosman]

Also, shot for the tor rugby club fajita stand, raising money for their local rugby club.  Been going there since 2003, just round the corner from the cider bus and go every year

[THX_1138]

Dreaming of Duck Burger in my face.

[deadpheasant]

Had the growler once and it was ok - think it was 2014, the 2 flimsy pieces of bacon seemed a bit redundant. Plain cheesy chip baguette they served was abt £2 cheaper and better bang for your buck.

[clarkete]

For lazy greedy people such as myself, is there a list of those in this thread in one bite size post?

Saw on Twitter they're doing breakfast burritos now which look tasty!

[rosieangel]

Is the paella place back this year? Did love their bi-ella! Think they were between Other stage and JP?

[Homer]

Luardos does 12" burritos for £5/£6 - here’s one enjoying itself on a park bench near Barbican after I ripped it open (and before I ate it):

Theres a paella place in Williams Green. Down the Circus exit end.

Surely the SEC is the stupidest place to put a food stall?!

I always assumed the quality would be meh but that burger is a 10/10 and I had a steak sambo from some Argentinian steak place in 2017 that was great. I was hammered mind you but I do remember the chimichurri being good.

As delicious as this looks I imagine I'll have to be in suitable distance to a long drop to properly enjoy it without fear of how do you say... shitting oneself.

First day ritual is West Holts, Japanese Noodles (with tempura, obviously), Brothers and when we're peckish again Le Grande Bouffe.

Did that crawfish/gumbo place near the cinema keep coming back? Really enjoyed that a few years ago.

Paella obviously. Thought I was going to die the first time I got seafood at Glastonbury, but I probably eat more there than in the rest of life these days.?

Paellaria, they’ve two stalls one between Pyramid and Other and one near Williams Green. They were at All Points East but the queue was massive, hoping they’re back at Glasto! 

[The Nal]

Wheres the American brekkie place again? Greenfields? Seem to do yoga there during the day?

[Adammm]

These guys are often at Digbeth Diners Club in Brum. Fish or halloumi and chips with mushy peas done in an Indian style. Really good food and they’re not far from the Pyramid this year.

Anyone got any ideas if there’s places doing Halal food? Not really a big issue if not because there’s so many veggie spots but just wondering for a friend!
