Lets get muddy

Time for the trek to Somerset, tents at the ready, for Glastonbury. Will there be rain and mud, or just endless sun? And will there be anything to eat?

And, to be honest, I’m never going to find out for real as I cannot imagine that this is ever going to be my scene. It’s the word tent that lost me. And possibly the mud. But pleasantly surprised to see that there is some great eating to catch as well, including fine dining at the Rocket Restaurant. If you’ve already booked.

Sadly, the official Glastonbury site is much more set up to tell you all about the music, and not so much the food. Possibly the serious food lover is not quite their target market. But from looking at different posts, it seems variety is the key to the food offer as well as the music, and you have no need to go anywhere near a naff burger, or eat the same meal twice.

I have no idea what I would have to take to survive (other than a helicopter in from the Royal Crescent Hotel). I like the idea of the Eco Friendly BBQ from Nigel’s Eco Store, sounds like the right sort of thing. Maybe this would be the time to invest in a Cobb BBQ. Personally though,  I think there are other festivals for me, but hope those that are going get fabulous music and great food. On this one, I think I’m prepared to continue to live vicariously!

So which of the summer festivals wins the foodie crown in your book? And could I do it without totally roughing it?
