So in the mornings for the past few GF's I always head up to Greenpeace to go for a veggie breakfast, mainly because you get Potatoes Bravas with it and it's generally amazing, not too heavy and pretty much is the right amount of food after a heavy eve. It's in a tent opposite Manic Organic, with places to sit inside, I think they do epic cake as well if I remember correctly. Can anyone here remember what the stall is called at all? been trying to track it down but with no luck!🤞

Do you just mean the greenpeace cafe?

Are any of the better food places open late late, like 5am staggering back from the SEC sort of late? 🤔

In 2013 I’d forgotten to eat anything substantial earlier before seriously getting on it all night… come the early hours I was desperate for sustenance but all we could find was an extremely mediocre chip van. 

Would be great if anything better ran through the night. Although I’ll admit the chances of me remembering any recommendations in that scenario are low! 😂

No one that's been on narcs and is wandering around at 5am is usually wanting something to eat!

Hey jefwefwef, no it was tucked around the corner from GP cafe>>> Was hoping you would know 🙂

That'll be lynda's loaf. I've not confirmed their return, yet, will ping them now.

 

/edit maybe not, as Lynda's is a bakery so probably doesnt do morning potatoes. In that case I don't know as I don't have a complete record from 2019 and I'm still trying to get the 2022 list together, sorry.

🤣🤣🤣👍🏻 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 . . . 

Well I can definitely recommend a Baggies Balti Pie, and you can even come and sit in the home end with us to enjoy it! 😄

Likewise. They're pretty big in terms of their tent, seems likely they'd be back as they are obviously cooking a lot of meals and presumably making decent money.

Love a bit of Glastronomy!! I've already messaged my favourite stall to make sure they're going to be there 🤣

Company called Makatcha. They run a stall simply called 'Coconut Curry'

Pulled meats in spicy Thai coconut sauce with pickled salads. INSANE. 🤤🤤 Highly, highly recommended if you haven't seen them before. They have a prime spot at Latitude every year, always sold out by the end. I always try to get it a couple of times while im there....I'm such a fan 🤣🤣

One of my absolute favourites as well.  Also my favourite curry to cook.  Found the Matakatcha recipe online here

Festival version is shredded and the recipe remains whole pieces but can be broken apart if desired.  Wonderful.

If there was more info it might make the shit places up their game.

Vital to eye up the food coming out of places to make sure it looks good and portion size is adequate…

Omg thank you! Going to give this a go...so so so good!!

Still yet to figure out what they mean by Saxon 02 as their location? Anyone know where this is referring to?

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
