Tried that - no good for me, always ended up burnt in places and not toasted at all in others. 🙁 Very likely down to my technique rather than any fault of the product… Also possibly ‘cos I use a lightweight gas stove that generates a narrow but hot flame ring. If you’re using a wider, gentler type of burner like the one pictured in one of the photos on that link, I can see it working much better.

Stu H Posted March 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 On 3/15/2022 at 11:04 AM, incident said: Yeah - especially with the Co-Op on site now, which I think makes the need to bring things in and then worry about how long they'll last less important given that it sells most core ingredients at approximately regular (Co-Op) prices. So my tip to add would be: make sure you camp within easy access of the Co-Op. I didn't realise there was a Co-op now - did that come in in 2019? Latitude had one last year and it was very handy.

Leyrulion Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 Tinned fruit cocktail I'm the morning, two liquid neurofen and a variety pack of cereal. March with a pint of milk and orange juice for the co-op and you're all set for the day. None of the other options suggested here have convinced me to bring any more of my own food in!

Memory Man Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 What are the queues like for the co-op? Never bothered as assume it would take ages we bring camping stove, toaster rack as shared by a previous poster, and (middle class alert) bring some sourdough bread from off site pre sliced. We have that toasted with eggs (scrambled or fried) and chorizo, which keeps perfectly in a cool box as do eggs at room temp. Maybe some tomatoes as well. might get a guacamole dip / spread from morrisons in lieu of avocado it does take effort but i can cook 4 breakfasts in about 15/20 mins and save a fortune vs paying for catering bags of PG tips and cheapest quality back bacon or sausage on shit bread for £7 a head every day. needless to say we come by car and camp in bushy ground where the nearest decent food place is, not close.

Tsk call yourself middle class but still buy avocados? Haven't you seen the pictures of the geezers with ak47s? (only kidding, I still buy them because I'm asked to and they don't yet supply alternatives where I live) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those festivals that allow co-op alcohol sales have the camping separate to the main arena where you’re not supposed to take your own alcohol in.

Deaf Nobby Burton Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Quite right too, it’s more than enough to be able to bring your own alcohol anywhere you want, it wouldn’t be fair on the bars that you could stock up at a supermarket too. Every £1 spent on alcohol at co-op would be a £1 out of the bars pocket, they can make enough selling everything else. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I'll be going to the farm and Latitude as a punter but not working at any. I don't think my manager would be that keen and he would rather have me doing my day job.

Deaf Nobby Burton Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 It’s also called 31 Toad Lane, rather than co-op so you might have seen it but not realised it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooner1990 Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Might be a silly question, but what did they sell? Did they sell sandwiches etc? As TBH I would probably prefer something like that instead of £8.50 halloumi wraps that I usually end up going for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they sold packed sandwich’s and the usual co op snacks, sausage rolls, pasta salads etc. Soft drinks and most groceries you could think of including bread and cakes but not the baked on site stuff.
