My man. This is my subject.

I miss the square pie stall, they were excellent - further back i was a big fan of Pieminister when they had a stall next to the brothers bar in west holts, they did a cracking breakfast pie with mash, gravy and crispy onions for i think six quid last time they were there. It went delightfully with a cold pint of breakfast brothers and the first act on West Holts at 11.10am etc. This year we have yet to set our pie adventures in stone, the world is our oyster! 

Time was that Pieminister would be at every festival you went to - did they have a stall in 2019? I can't remember seeing them at all - anywhere - for years!

Really liked Pieminster! They were at Kendal Calling a couple of years back, as good as ever!

No they got too commercial for Glasto 5 years or so ago so weren't asked back.

Is there anywhere to get a good pie anymore? My first year the square pie company were there but left after I think they got to big I read on here. 

I think last time there was a place (possibly by Williams Green but it was a while ago and I've slept since then) called Sam's Pies. It was far too hot for one so didn't really investigate further.

No. That was Pieminster.

I had a pie from either Square Pie or Sams Pies forget what it was called that year in 2017, was at the back of the West Holts stage.

i dont think Pieminister have been at glastonbury since about 2014. i miss em too. The veggie and vegan pies are absolutely top as well. There's a pie bakery near to me, Piglet's pantry, who supply Brighton and Hove Albion (and Leicester, weirdly) and while i dont support them, i have a few mates who do - and when there's a spare ticket i'll go along. Perhaps 50% for the pie and 50% for the football 👍 they have a wonderful way with a herby pastry!

Congrats on putting this together, very handy. Sounds like you're hitting some of the brick walls I used to get from the G authorities with glastomap. All fun and games! Hopefully they'll see the light one day 🙂

I'll be there on mon and tues, as im volunteering this year - i'll be combing the highways and the byways for pie (ways) 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Gonna miss the Tibetan Kitchen this year - one of the few places, along with the Goan Fish Curry - that offered breakfasts a bit more interesting than crap bacon rolls.

[Winslow Leach]

Apologies of this has already been covered but anyone got any hints about where the Hare Krishnas are likely to be parked this year?

I think it's such a shame that they'll probably farm out various shoddy mapping/app stuff to random agencies who have no passion for the festival and either pay a fortune for it, or sell their souls (EE) for it. If they said "we need a crew of ppl to put this together, you'll get paid a lowish amount on a standard contract but you'll get a handful of tickets each" you'd suddenly find the very best mapping/app dev talent in the country coming out of the woodwork to do it for peanuts and loving it and making an absolutely amazing product. Festifood is a heap of shite, but that's only because it's an evenings and weekends hobby for me. Even just an open source project that had a special deal for data access would be a huge deal and the resulting projects would I'm sure be amazing. If the data was open, who knows what cool stuff would pop up?

As every year its the burger place that was/is in the Park that is my favourite. Still cant remember what its called though.

Frankly mate, I think Festifood is ace.... many thanks and plaudits to you!

If you want to collab on a bar/pub version, or add that as a filter on your map then I'd be delighted to collate some data and help.

Judging by your user name I'm guessing you appreciate the power and beauty of a curry filled pie. Every time I pass a pie stall at Glastonbury I stop and check for Balti and never have I seen one.

You find one you hit me up.

[Winslow Leach]

Just remembered that stall in Greenpeace selling watermelon slices larger than a beach ball, hope that's still there...

Yes i do, and yes i will. Pie updates will be placed on these very pages.

Its the true champion of pie fillings, balti pie, though i was in scotland a couple of months back and theyve a fine way with a pie up there- steak and black pudding was riotously enjoyed, and i also love a macaroni pie with a really good chili sauce. The scotch pies at Clachnacuddin FC were also particularly notable.

For some reason balti pie has to be followed by full fat coke and becomes a perfect meal

Steak and Black pudding is the Rolls Royce of pies!

Being a West Brom fan I take very little pleasure from going the football these days, but a hot balti pie makes the journey worthwhile.
