Attending Glastonbury Festival isn’t a cheap experience—you’ve likely invested hundreds on tickets, tents, and travel, and the expenses don’t stop there. Food, an essential part of the festival experience, can quickly add up. But if you’re going to splurge on your meals, why not make it memorable by trying something truly unique?
Sure, you’ll find the usual pizza, salads, and sandwiches everywhere, but with 354 food stalls at Glastonbury, why settle for ordinary?
Take the bold and adventurous ostrich burger at I Love Ostrich, located near the Other Stage. Ostriches are tough birds, and their meat is lean, high in protein, low in fat, and rich in iron—tasting somewhat like beef but with a story behind every bite. It’s a nod to the brave farmers who risk the wrath of these formidable birds. Nearby, music legends like Busta Rhymes, Franz Ferdinand, and Charli XCX will be performing. And yes, this unique burger is part of the £6 deal.

Not a fan of ostrich? Head to Cheeky Burger in The Village Inn at West Holts for an equally unconventional burger experience—try their burger glazed with homemade Jack Daniels sauce or the daring peanut butter burger. With 36 burger stalls across the festival, their quirky twist sets them apart. Close by, enjoy sets from En Vogue, Kneecap, and Doechii.
Craving something lighter yet equally inventive? Happy Maki serves sushi burritos at Silver Hayes and Left Field. These giant seaweed wraps combine sushi’s freshness with a burrito’s convenience and are 100% vegan—perfect for the plant-based crowd or anyone seeking a cruelty-free alternative. Groove Armada, Pinkpantheress, Katy B, Kate Nash, and Billy Bragg will be performing nearby. While not part of the £6 deal, Happy Maki’s offerings are worth every penny.
For a more spiritual dining experience, visit the Hare Krishna Tent at Pennard Ground Hill. Here, you’ll receive a vegetarian or vegan curry and rice meal in exchange for attending a brief religious presentation. It’s a free meal in a peaceful camping area away from the main stage excitement.
If you want to truly keep it local, try fresh milk from Worthy Farm’s own cows, served up at Milk Masquerade across multiple stages including the Pyramid Stage. Known as the “cheapest pint at the festival,” you can also enjoy iced coffee here while catching performances by The 1975, Alanis Morissette, Neil Young, Olivia Rodrigo, and Rod Stewart.
For a sit-down meal away from the festival’s buzz, don’t miss the Tea Stop on The Pavement. This charming venue is a converted 1960s bus offering traditional cream teas—perfect for a restful break. Prepare for queues, but the unique setting and delicious scones with clotted cream make the wait worthwhile.
Whatever your tastes, Glastonbury offers not just music but a feast of unexpected and exciting culinary adventures. Dive into the quirky and the novel—your taste buds will thank you.
