This was festival food at its finest, gone were greasy burgers, soggy chips and overpriced noodles, and in their place were original flavours, good portion sizes, well cooked, well priced grub! Perfect!
There was something for everyone at the festival, and it was set up to be family friendly, with more attention paid to the camping facilities and providing a good atmosphere.
We wondered around and around the main field trying to deicide what to eat on our first night, only to go right back to the entrance and the first place that took our fancy in the "Street food alley". We had some really lovely food, from vegballs, pulled pork rolls, and burrittos, to pies, spinach and feta croissants and cheese straws.
Towards the back of the field was a host of smaller tents selling their produce from olive oil to popcorn...And cheese...So much cheese! I think we visited every cheese stand at least three times so Sam could stock up on samples...Cheeky!
We heard music from Rizzle Kicks, Basement Jaxx, Kt Tunstall and The Feeling amoungst many others. In fact the only part of the weekend I can fault was the camping, and that was purely down to us! Because we don't have a car we decided to try and take as little with us as possible, so save us lugging everything on the train. A great idea in theory. But rather than cutting down on cereal bars, crisps, and biscuits (Which really weren't needed) we cut down on pillows, and sleeping mats, so what we ended up sleeping with was a sleeping bag...nothing underneath us apart from the tent, and the only pillow like object we had was a towel...Lovely...Or not! It's a good job I'm carrying some extra cupcake weight at the moment otherwise this would of been seriously uncomfortable! As it was we were both dying to get into our bed this morning!
Note to self: When going to a FOOD and music festival, don't take food...Take foam mats, pillows, and even a chair or two!
Even so, sore backs are now forgotten and we've decided we're going to go again next year :) YAAAAY!!
