the horse box cafe at the top of the camping area needs to have a few lessons in catering for large groups :D

They seemed pretty fucked most of the time. Someone asked for beans on toast and the bloke said 'Can I just give you beans on bread? Toast is gonna be a bit of a problem for me' :D

They were useless both years I went too. :rolleyes: rather than :D imo
 
the thing I like about EiiD, is generally people seem forgiving of anything that might be "lacking" from the people who trade there.

most of them are there for a good time just like you and me, and to be honest, I'd imagine most of them barely break even.

i helped my friend out in malinkeys on sunday and when we ran out of most types of booze, people were generally great. instead of moaning that we didn't have any jd, they just got on with having to choose between either brandy, whisky or pink wine! and we all had a great time along the way.

if you want plasticky, identikit food stalls at a festival, without the same old lovely dorset punk/ska/festy bands year after year, then go to Reading, or V.

that said, I did have an egg sarnie from that green van on the monday morning and I couldn't eat the uncooked egg-white... bleurgh...

8 of us went to malinkeys on saturday and they were very apologetic for running out of stuff as they'd been let down by a delivery. We had pink wine and Cointreau liqueur coffees as that was pretty much all that was available. But it didn't matter one bit, we still had a great time, the food was good, the staff were lovely and it was very good value. :)

That waiter was a cunt
 
I take most of what I need with me so I find it funny. I can imagine it's annoying if you're expecting any kind of service.

Well obviously I was expecting some kind of service seeing as they were charging!!! :D And I know you take most of what you 'need' cos you start a thread about most items.

Anyway, I think I only had a couple of cups of tea from them myself. I don't remember eating while I was there. I probably did though.

No, I don't start threads about most items, Onket. Where are your oh so interesting contributions then?
 
The food's always a bit hit-and-miss. I had a pie from the pie shop - bit stodgy & expensive. Welsh rarebit & salad - nice but pricey. Veggie bap - bit bland & pricey. Cheesy chips - nice & filling and cheap. I also took my own little gas stove and made baked beans on bread (couldn't quite manage toast). :cool:
 
easily the best EiiD i have been to: the sunniest, the funniest, the friendliest, the silliest.

Wasn't it just! It was great hanging out with you and your LOVELY lady by the pool.

I especially liked your greasy wig with the roots growing out. Very authentic looking :D
 
I didn't bump into Topcat and Debbie at all! :(
Where were you?! Hot air ballooning again?! ;) :hmm:
I saw TC about an hour before I left. He found me in said crap catering van buying tea. His confession made me feel much better :D
 
really??? who???

He wasn't really, he was absolutely lovely. He was the tall, dark, handsome chap who dealt very well with our table having a breakout of tourettes. He'll remember us :D

yeah he was great really crusty, we were just a bit badly behaved/messing around. Somehow we ordered fucking macaroni cheese and bastard bacon, then spoony went one better:

Waiter: what would you like?
Spoony: CUNT!! :mad: Goulash please :)

:D

:D
It started because I told you to fuck off while I was looking at the waiter so everyone thought I'd told the waiter to fuck off. Then someone apologised and said 'Sorry, she's got Tourettes' and then it began :D

I wouldn't have told that lovely waiter to fuck off :(

I wonder if he wants a sausage?

hilarious :D
 
yes I did call that waiter a cunt didn't I... Oops, he was cool with it though, and my food didn't taste like jizz so s'all good.

Just a freindly reminder to everyone to get your wet tents out and on the line if the weather is anything like it is near me! Nowt worse than a mouldy tent :) :)
 
This is true, I thought it wa pretty funny just how hot and sunny it was. So very British, we moan like stink about the rain and then when the sun blazes we moan about that! :D

Not I, not once! :p

I'd used up all my moaning on July's near daily-rain :mad: here in West Wales, so to have a dry warm and sunny weekend RULED -- no complaints needed or even possible for me ....

Though Sun and hangovers don't mix :(

Tis true ... :oops:

My only complaint is that it turns me very feline, I just want to lol about in it. It's quite energy sapping so I tend not to get about as much as I'd like. I still wouldn't swap it for torrential rain though ;)

I saw the queues they had a lot of the time, so avoided them (it was Welsh breakfasts for us in the arena every time anyway :cool: ).

Were the same lot there last year (2008) as well as this? It was a different lot on campsite catering in 2007 as far as I remember ....
 
yeah, the campsite caff last year was a veggie one in a big tent, rather than the horse box. the queues were bigger and although it still took a while to get your grub it wasn't anywhere as long a wait as it was for a simple poxy bacon sandwich from this year's lot.
