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.

There are lots of people who do attempt to track them down. @jefwefwefone referenced in this thread is probably your best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManLj Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

WestCountryGirl Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 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 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.
