Food

[lassy]

It's going to be my first time at V. What kind of food is available to buy? Was planning to take a few bits for brekkie and maybe lunch. Don't fancy eating burgers 3 nights in a row though.

What kind of food vans is there? Thankies

Chinese is nice and am sure there was a big tent doing roast dinners.

There's a bit of everything really, from toast to pick 'n' mix to burgers to sticky toffee pudding. Just have a wonder round, and cereal bars are a godsend too.

just remember everything is at least double what you would pay in the shops if not more

i alwys think the best one i sthe pizza stalls that charge about £30 for a whole pizza

On Thursday night get some oatcakes, fill them with cheese, roll them up and individually wrap them in foil. Refriderate and transfer to a cool bag with some ice blocks in on friday morning...

On fri night/sat/sun morning light the disposable bbq and heat the individually wrapped oatcakes up!!!

Open a strongbow and enjoy!

Yum yum!!

I guess u could even cook some bacon, chill it and wrap it up inside the oatcake. Or sausages...oh the possibilities..

Make sure u are downwind of any possible chloe bear hiding places...trees, general greenery that can disguise them or they will surely attack!!

There is loads of great food, and loads of bad food. Japanese noodles with tempura is always a favourite of mine, and there is a very good sausage and mash stall.

I'm on a major diet at the moment so will be picking carefully, the less naughty I am with my food intake, the more beer I can drink!!!!

Allow at least £5 a meal, often more.

My dad lives a few miles away - think I might phone an order in and he can drop it off at the pick-up point!

Thinking early morning breakfast rolls, flask of hot coffee - festival meals-on-wheels - hmmm!

Shame he'll probably tell me to sod off!

[rosepetals36]

take ur own brekkie this was the bit that was the biggest rip off for me....fiver for a crap bacon baguette that wasnt very fillin.

make sure ya meals have carbs on them keep ya fuller for longer...and as someone as sed take a box of cereal bars....ideal as a snack between meals...last year i think i spent most of my money on food....they do have soem good stalls with salads, pasta so its not all grease!

[xxtinkerbellxx]

The BEST is a pizza costing £30? Oh christ, what have I done?!

I might take a stove for the first time in my life ever. I've been spoilt with Glasto gastro.

[MCWATTSIE]

Us poor southerners don't have the luxury of oatcakes I have to get my friends to send them down to me....there is nothing better than an oatcake filled with bacon & loads of melted cheese

Eatings cheating!

Multipack of crisps and Mars Bars is all you need along with your beer and whatever else haha

I might sound silly hear but what is an oatcake? and why dont they have them down south? Is the same as a tea cake, barm ect?

dont know why but i have a picture in my head of something resembling a snack a jack??

My advice on food - get a full english onthe way down! that will set you up for the weekend!

Head to the two villages run by Black Sheep (they have teepee tents with seating areas - one is usually to the left of the main stage by the Strongbow Tent, the other right at the back of the arena opposite the 2nd stage).

The food there is way better that the standard (and rubbish) burgers. My fella got a reasonable size pizza in that area for under £10. You will get curry, chinese, noodles, veggie food and all sorts, there really is no need to have yucky burgers. If you can face having a bit of a walk around early doors on the Saturday morning you will be able to spot the better places.

The hit of last summer seemed to be yorkshire puddings filled with sausage and mash, judging by the number of gravy covered plates all over the floor anyway!

The unfortunate thing about festivals is that food is expensive. Come to think of it, almost everything at festivals is expensive. Stall holders are there to make money, end of story. If you can face carrying some food for brekkie then it will save you some cash.
