And usually the length of the queue comes in as a big factor!

Aye, lot of big queues last year at popular places and I'm not that patient when hungry.

Praying for the Mexican ice lollies

What makes an ice lolly Mexican?

Talking of ice lollies, I did feel some sympathy for parents last year when buying lollies and ice cream for their kids. They were really expensive and must have ate into the family budget in the good weather. Think the coop  might have been cheaper but that’s a bit of a walk just to get the kids a treat.

This is our favourite 🙏🏼 normally somewhere near bbc introducing/silver Hayes way... divine! And never any queues because it's all just ready to serve

Found the most amazing arancini stall in 2022, got my husband and kids all worked up for it last year and then it wasn't back!!! Gutted. Fingers crossed they make a come back!

I love food stalls nearly as much as I enjoy the music. Though last couple of years there has been some I've wanted to try but like others been put off by the queue.

Looking forward to my old favourites of Leon in West Holts field (which handily for me as a volunteer normally opens on the Tuesday) and  No Bones Jones

I really hope the raclette place is back after not being there last year.

Suspect we won’t see Chapati Man back as they’re now all in on brick-and-mortar and franchising - they haven’t been the past couple of festivals but I have fond memories of being one of their first customers in 2007

I spent days looking for that! Figured I was just too off my tits to find it.

So it wasn't there no?

Well well well, we love that place.

Thursday morning, breaky always at the Mezze stall in the Park, wander up the hill a bit, take it all in with a healthy style breakfast before the real carnage begins.

[Sitruc97]

The cheese toastie van near San Remo took a right nailing by myself a couple years back, sorted me out each morning.

[Pinhead]

If it's the one I'm thinking of this used to be at Bearded and BD every year but was absent from all last year iirc so not sure if they've folded?

Apart from one Cornish pasty those are the only two vendors I ate from last year.  All festival.

Probably be the same this year.  Minus the disappointing pasty.

No Bones Jones have become my replacement for Manic Organic who I miss dearly 

[sedra]

If you are desperate to find a particular stall it’s worth going to the information points as they usually have a list/map of all traders in market areas. 

[Mich1268]

Apparently someone on the other side said Fritter Shack is there. No Bones is having a year off for personal reasons

[StoneCircle]

The Old Skool Bus and Kitchen have confirmed (via Messenger) they will be back in E20 Campervan Field 😊

[Ayrshire Chris]

For me, the best food stalls are in the west Holts field, and not as busy as others. 
if it’s just basic fish and chips then the stall at the back of the pyramid field across from the bar are spot on.

Fingers firmly crossed for Crumble Shack again this year 🤞

There's crumble at the festival?!
