Top Festival Food!

[TheNewUnion]

Some of the vans have decent food. Especially the ones in that bit in the corner (at Staffs), the Black Sheep Events place, some great stuff there!

We had chicken wraps from the Mexican last year at Staffs. Delish....

The chilli cheese on toast mac and cheese and cauliflower cheese fromt he food from argyle stand wer elush! loves it! x

^^ As above! Well nice ^^

Following your criteria though, breakfast wise it has to be cereal bars (specifically Kellogs Elevenses choc chip) a couple of those and a brew will last you all the way to the first cider. Oh, and Brioche too, lasts for a good while, well tasty and weighs nowt.

Proper food wise, eating on the move scuppers anything that needs cooking which limits options. I think it's worth taking a stove or a throw away BBQ and knocking something together before hitting the arena. Stagg Chilli and pitta and the like. You can get some really nice chilli/stew type stuff in bags that lasts for months and you just need to heat up in a pan, tins of meatballs over noodles are well nice and if all else fails - pot noodles are a life saver.

That and Haribo

There was a stall selling chicken wraps that were really good and quite good value (Chelmsford), lots of different flavours and very filling. Other than that there is a short walk to a decent pub that does food, but I couldn't possibly share the details for fear of finding queues this year!

I found the Curry and Chineese food stall awesome last year. Also, the 'big breakfast' in a baguette in the morning is just what you need after the all day drinking sesh's Friday/ Saturday.

Wasnt that the place with the wild boar sausages in hot dogs, with bacon, and coffee for £5?

Real good value (for a festival).

It's all about the burgers from that gourmet burger wagon. Massive, good quality meat and quite cheap as far as I remember. Or, as someone touched on earlier, the huuuuge yorkshires. Not very portable though. I remember we opted out of them last year because we couldn't sit down anywhere to eat them.

Boil in the bag rice and chuck a bit of bacon on it

[Lil_miss]

hotdogs! (the frankfurter one's) stick em in some hot water for 5 mins, roll, ketchup, sorted!

I lived on these last year!

[meatyparson]

Can anyone suggest the top festival food!?

Ive been searching for the past 2 years now

It has to be something which:

*Can be taking easily without it going off

*Doesn't have to be cooked

*Is filling

*Can be eaten on the move

*Is nice!

ANYONE!?

If you are cooking yourself, bring a disposable bbq or two. I had one plus I had a handy hexamine burner to fry/boil things. I put a fair bit of bacon, sausages etc in a freezer bag with some ice packs and a frozen bottle of water, the meat lasted for nearly all the weekend.

[shoptildrop]

I always bring food and then always throw most away as can't be a**d to cook it!!

My essential food items are

Smoothies

crunchy nut cereal bars

capri sun

coke

haribo

do bring BBQ thingie for 1st day and some burgers but that's all cooking end up doing tbh - this year not bring much food just liquids cos it's just waste of money for me as weed out half decent/filling/cheaper food in the arena anyway as only tend to eat once a day at festies....
