Food Stalls 2020

[SwedgeAntilles]

I was definitely sleeping on the food options in 2017, combination of bad timing and overindulging in general. That being said I had a cracking fake bacon roll from a place in The Park area which was the highlight. I'm pretty much full veggie now (have been pescetarian last few years) so unfortunately the Goan Fish Curry is Goan, Goan gone. Looking forward to focusing on the vegan options this year.

Going to make a promise to myself to have a good breakfast, mid-afternoon/early evening feed every day this year. Just don't have the stamina any more to try and go without.

Yes, but do they have strumpets?

No but I don't need my food with a side of objectification of women.

Last year I was so overwhelmed with the festival I didn't really pay a huge amount of attention to the food. This year I want to pre scout out some food places, will defo try to revisit the cajun place at West Holts

This is my first Glasto as a vegan and I can't wait for all of the options, the problem for me is I just want to try them all. 

So much food so little time!

I think my plan this year is to try and identify one (maybe two) stall per stage/area in advance so I've at least narrowed the options a little before I arrive. Will be relying on this thread heavily for that info!

I am going to take this in the tongue-in-cheek manner in which I presume it was intended (based on the tongue-in-cheek manner in which I presume you took my original post).

My horror at the slightest suggestion that my comment was actually sexist means I am going to have to ruin to joke I'm sorry, haha.

Are these food confirmations a sign that the poster is coming? I think they should do a food line up poster, headliner positioning would be very contentious though

Nah, they're a sign that the traders got their pitch confirmations at the end of last week.

They do a small one but covers no where near all of the stalls

These guys and their amazing battered chips and curry sauce will be there.

Hopefully less halloumi and some Greek gyros available this year

Battered chips... that sounds like a decent hangover cure to me!

Just waiting for Crumble Shack to get their confirmation.  That's all I need to know.

In the same boat Swedge.  Been focused on the veggie options in recent years anyway, but this'll be the first when I consciously don't have any of it.  Luckily I can't think  of many better places than Glastonbury to do it!

do I take the fact that you are posting about food as a sign you are feeling better today ?

Just laying in bed bored, so passing the time emailing food stalls I like.

I am feeling a bit better though.

This will be very exciting news for @March Hare - if indeed Seasonal Samosas were the providers of the infamous "four samosas"?

Did someone say 4 samosas for £5? It came with mango chutney and a couple of other dips. Was lush!! My oh my, what a snack 😍

Yes I assumed you were being slightly tongue in cheek but for me the love for them over Truly Crumptious has always been a bit style over substance. People took photos of their stall and their costumes but not of their food whereas Truly Crumptious just give amazing food and I will take substance over style every time.

You should head straight to the Goan fish curry stall nevertheless! I’ve been having a veggie day at Glastonbury for the last few years, just to freshen up the ol palate and try some different things - I’m a meat eater, but eating it less and less - and the tikka daal and rice at the Goan place is absolutely frickin amazing and beats the shite out of the actual fish curry. Very, very recommended. 

Had a bash of the vegan fried chikn last year on the advice of a drunken, starving vegan mate of mine and that was delicious 😋 

truly crumptious is excellent as well 👍🏻 Tbf I’m more excited about the food than I ever am about the bands 🤣🤣🤣

It's inspiring how seriously you take your crumpets.

I may have voiced an opinion to friends that I occasionally view it as a food festival with some bands on in the background...

Hey as I have pointed out in the Get fit for Glastonbury I have lost 6 stone since January 2019. I didn't achieve that weight without taking my food seriously!!! And now I eat far less of it the quality of it has to be spot on!!

Can strongly recommend Happy Maki, Dosa Deli and somewhere last year that did vegan fish "vish" tacos. Hope they're all there this year.
