What alcohol do you bring?

[kaytee...]

Totally forgot about the co-op. In that case I'm adding raspberry vodka to the list. That with fresh orange to start the day 😍

Does the onsite Co-op sell tonic?

Yep I’m sure they do and ice, my wife loved it last time

With the ban on single use plastic, I assume the Co-Op will only have cans? I don't remember seeing larger bottles in 2019 (albeit my memory is hazy)....

Cans only due to the single use plastic ban.

If it is cans only, how do they sell big bottles of coke?

I need to have a conversation with Mrs D to start booze planning. 

I also need to buy a coolbox that'll do the do for a few days.

Sorry, I initially forgot about the plastic ban at Glasto... it's cans only there.  Big bottles available from Co-op at Download, Isle of Wight etc subject to a deposit.

No probs. 

Coke tastes better out of a can anyway!!

Yes, that's fine - if you do it regularly I'd suggest getting a couple of these:

Wilko do these also for cheap… kinda takes away from the reusable idea of them as they probably don’t last as long as the much more pricey ones.

just don’t make the absolute rookie mistake I did of mixing with mixer from the tent during the blazing 2019 afternoon heat, kept my mix scorching hot and absolutely undrinkable all night, so I guess the bottle did it’s job, just not the master plan I’d hoped 😂 (you only do it once,I’ll be buying hopefully cooler mixer in future…)

Lucozade Sport bottles are my go to.

Same here. 500ml is a great carry around size and the top prevents spills when the alcohol shakes kick in

Ace. 

Never ventured in there last time. 

Did they sell booze as well?

There was always a massive queue in 2019 and I was pissed on the wednesday so I went to one of the ice cream vans and bought 10 500ml bottles of coke instead, it actually worked out better because a big bottle will go flat once you open it.

I can’t remember seeing bottles of Coke last year. It was cans only I think? If Co-op were doing bottles of Coke I’ll be annoyed as I was buying cans at £2.50 a pop.

Used to take cans of beer but not now. I prefer cold beers in the bars.  Mrs c doesn’t drink so it’s only tea bags and dried milk we carry in. And a hint, don’t put the dried milk in a poly bag, looks a bit suspicious if searched. 

[Seldom Seen Kid]

My usual supply involves 1 - 1.5 litres of rum, a couple of litres of whisky, a load of cans of Prosecco, and a couple of chilled beers ready to drink once the tent is up. Not sure I can be bothered with the weight of the Prosecco this year though.

[tigertoo]

We usually take 2 to 3 red wine pouches/boxes, 

G&T cans

hip flasks of rum and ameretto, both nice for adding to late night coffee/hot choc.

I just saw the Travelman episode in Basque the other night where they apparently have red wine mixed with coke !! then I noticed it listed on here ..... I had no idea it was a thing.

It doesnt sound like a nice thing, but I'm intrigued !

As others have said I'm convinced last time the coop was cans only. They had a hard enough time keeping it stacked with the little cans everyone was buying.

Will be interesting to see if they've tried to make a dent on the single use plastic on the food items this year as they hadn't past time.

But is the Coop selling cans of beer? As far as I know they didn't...
