Glastonbury food with pictures

[The Nal]

The big development this year in Grand Bouffe terms was the second outlet on the LHS of the Pyramid Stage. About the only decent scran in that entire vicinity.

Thats been there for a good few years?

Ah, OK. I guess it's possible...I don't think I'd ever seen it before, but it's not like my sense of memory / geography is 100% reliable when on the farm.

[Brave Sir Robin]

I'd never noticed the second Grand Bouffe before this year either. They just need one up the Park and they'd have the whole site covered!

[Raincatcher]

Apart from a now non existent seafood stall up near the Acoustic stage, its probably the best food I've had in my time going.

Can imagine a seafood stall is a bit of a risk, imagine the scenes if you got ill! Long drops would be carnage!

where did she get this map from/picture from? Is it part of one of the whole site? or just the greenfields I really like it!

Think its off the Greenpeace fields Facebook page and unfortunately its just that field thats covered, it is cool and should probably be attributed to its source so will add that to the to do list!

Thanks to everyone who's had a look so far!

There was a seafood stall in William's Green on the West Holts side this year. Specifically a crabshack that also served up fresh Welsh lobsters if you got there sharpish.

It was doing brisk business, and not just from me.

Think I had gumbo from there. absolutely delicious.

I'm literally foaming at the mouth at some of the culinary delights in store at glasto, cannot wait to sample the delights for the first time in 2015!!

[CaledonianGonzo]

It wasn't bargainous, but their crabcake frites and aoli were a culinary highlight.

Of course for me the Goan Fish Curry in West Holts, but walking away from there, facing away from the stage and walking right, just round the corner was a great kebab/paneer stall too

[ColdSideofthePillow]

Just stay away from the generic crap - dry pork baguettes, cardboard chicken and chips and the likeround the pyramid and other stage and you can't go wrong.

7 or 8 quid will normally get you a really nice meal that fills you up decently.

Yeah that's totally what I intend to do, cheers

Was this the one in the little walkway between West Holts and Avalon? my mate was most disappointed he never got a Goan fish curry from there.

Last year I heard about a van selling Raclette cheese melted on potatoes but had no luck finding it. Did anyone go there that remembers where it was?

[FuzzyDunlop]

I must admit, I don't really eat too much at Glastonbury. My stomach wont hold much due to the booze and stuff, but

I had a great pie and mash (hardly gormet, but I good pie is still a good pie!) from a place opposite the Kasbah (I think) and a garlic chilli dish near the John Peel which was expensive, but very nice.

[monkey1989]

i only bought rubbishy food when i was drunk at night im gonna seek out some better options next year , they did do lovely brandy coffees on the strip of stalls left of the other stage

yes

[The 38 year old virgin]

see above. The gumbo is a separate stall but he also did crayfish. They'd run out of that when I got there. I'm spotting a theme here.

I was feeling a little precious and my mate had the gumbo, and right next door was a soup stall, so I had potato and leek soup which did just the job it needed to.

[Likelylad1]

Anyone got experience of the american type diner at the beat hotel? Thought it looked good last year but didn't get around to trying it.

[oasisjojo]

That just reminded me of the blue cheese soup stall which was ace to warm some soaked cockles on the Friday.

I love that blue cheese soup we have this every year with that lovely bread they serve with it yum

[Peroni]

I love the Williams Green area for food. Best places in the vicinity of each other in my opinion....

This sounds like La Grande Bouffe. There was one in the West Holts food area and, I think, another but not sure where.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Nah - There's usually a raclette stall in William's Green towards West Holts, though I don't think I saw it this year.

Found a picture of it:

Unfortunately not, Grande Bouffe is already a firm fave, always get at least one super royale whenever we visit the farm.

This Raclette van is an actual van that just sells this melted swiss cheese, they put the whole wheel under a grill and scrape the melted cheese onto a plate of mash I think. Came with great reviews from friends but no directions!

They seem to be on Twitter @leracshack - might be worth tweeting them closer to the festival.
