There's already 100 stages and 1000s of acts, i can't try and make a food clashfinder too! Especially when i'm shit faced, i'm going to the first decent looking one i see!

Yes but with research you could know the best ones around all the main stages.

Good point, have you got a good list you could direct me to? 🙂

No because they don't release a food line up!! There are lots of people who do attempt to track them down. @jefwefwefone referenced in this thread is probably your best bet.

The 2019 list is up at https://www.festifood.eu . It's a partial list, though, as we collected it all by hand on the ground on the first day of the fest, then got on with boozing.

a scottish food van would be great actually, lorne sausage and tattie scone in a morning roll with a pint of tea and i'd be ready to take on the world! 

Think this every year! Being able to roll out of the tent and get a roll and square, maybe whack an egg or a tattie scone on there if the night was particularly heavy... Ooft. Missing a trick they are. I'd be round at least once a day.

they could transition from breakfast stuff to lunchy/dinnery haggis, neeps and tatties quite seamlessly as well as getting the fryers out and doing some haggis pakoras etc. Plus irn bru slushies with a bit of Buckfast? smoked salmon bagels too? highland toffee vodka shots? so many possibilities

When T in the park was still going they used to have an area called healthy T, it was all Scottish produce, oysters from Loch Fyne, haggis and tatties, Cullen skink etc, the food was amazing!!

God, I'm about to go out for a run and you've got me drooling on the keyboard. 

Wonder if anywhere that does pizza and has a fryer could be convinced to MacGyver a pizza crunch.

What food do you take with you, for snacking etc. throughout the weekend?

It's been a long time since I thought about it and i'm not in my twenties anymore, need to get some decent snacks to keep me going.

They're confirmed as gone from Bearded Theory, with the reason being that they've stopped doing festivals.

I guess it's possible that Glastonbury is an unannounced exception, but it wouldn't make much sense.

Nope, I think they've closed up completely. They've sold the cafe in Ambleside too. I got my dates wrong and went for one final thali but they'd already closed. Gutted.

Was some good chat on another thread recently about Stroopwoffels, very solid snack choice. 

Highly recommend making your own trail mix with dried fruit & nuts (assuming you like those things!) - pick up big bags cheap at Aldi, mix up a batch then parcel out into individual portions. It’s one of my favourite snacks, you get energy from the fruit and a bit of protein & fats from the nuts. 🙂

Usually just cereal bars, loads of crisps and some very occasionally and begrudgingly eaten apples, which are mainly for good intention.

The best thing I ate at Green Man last year was a serving of paella - it was so, so good. I foolishly did not note the stall name - but I am going to have my eyes open each day of Glasto on the hunt for it 🤞

Paelleria? If so they are usually in Williams Green.

I'm sure they had a stall on the left hand of the other stage heading towards the pyramid. Good food weighs you down tho

One facing the Mountain stage? Was tasty but I’d pick Paellaria mentioned above over it! (Not the best pic 🙄)

i dont think Pieminister have been at glastonbury since about 2014. i miss em too. The veggie and vegan pies are absolutely top as well. There's a pie bakery near to me, Piglet's pantry, who supply Brighton and Hove Albion (and Leicester, weirdly) and while i dont support them, i have a few mates who do - and when there's a spare ticket i'll go along. Perhaps 50% for the pie and 50% for the football 👍 they have a wonderful way with a herby pastry!

I had an exceptional Balti Pie at the Albion (West Brom, home of...) the other day and thought of you 😄

🤣🤣🤣👍🏻 I’m truly honoured! I’ve not been to the Hawthorns, away tickets are such a ballache to get hold of that my ground hopping tends to be non league these days. One day I’ll write a pie review of all 92 league clubs inside a season, when my lottery numbers come up - then I’ll do Scotland as well, and the full non league scene down to step 6, and then perhaps die due to overconsumption of delicious pastry products . . .

I think they are also in W Holts (or were in 2017) and they were also in the Green Fields in 2019 where both choices were certainly veggie if not vegan.

Interestingly (maybe, maybe not) I discovered that Man Utd, Shrewsbury Town and Stoke City all serve (or did a few seasons back) the same brand of pie which were very good, steak and ale, chicken balti and Shepherd's pie (which strangely to my mind had a pastry bottom and a potato top).  

Chelsea, very briefly (maybe for only one season if that, or maybe it was just that I was in a different stand) had a really excellent independent pie stall.  They also had a real ale stand at the same time, another thing sadly gone  though Shrewsbury Town's lives on, after the demise of Woods Brewery it is now Hobsons I think.

How is the New Meadow? My best friend is a Shrewsbury Town fan and we went to the old Gay Meadow but have not seen the new stadium. He now lives in Kent and I'll be seeing him this weekend. Him and my husband used to have a pint bet each season on who would do best Shrewsbury Town or York City all through our uni days but these days York City have had quite the decline so the bet hasn't been on for some time.

The New Meadow is great.  I'm a season ticket holder so have been there more than the old Meadow as my kids were small when we moved up here so I didn't start going there regularly until after the ground moved.  It was good having the ground in the middle of town although the new ground is on our side of town so is easy for us to get to.  And the facilities are obviously better (decent female loos for a start!).  And nice to get home by 5.30 or so, rather than 4/5 hours later when I go to Chelsea, which is my first team.
