Veggies Vegan Campaign Catering
Glastonbury Green Futures
We’re planning 100 hours of #VeganOutreach for 200,000 people together with Food for a Future, the vegan cookery workshop space alongside us in the Green Futures Field.
Having pioneered exclusively vegan catering at Glastonbury Festival since the 1980’s, Veggies Catering Campaign are pleased to gather and share information on other great vegan food at this major event, with tweets & instagram posts by #GlastoVegan.
These 100% vegan caterers have been at Glastonbury Festival since at least 2019:
- Buddha Bowl – The Brewery
- Buddhafield Cafe – Healing Field
- Club Mexicana – Left field
- Happy Maki – Silver Hayes
- Veggies Catering Campaign – Green Futures
Big thanks to the Permaculture Cafe & volunteers for providing food for remaining crew through Monday evening
Next year be sure to visit them at the bottom corner of Green Futures and see how they’ve turned what was a carpark into a green oasis pic.twitter.com/hI6gZK7xvw

Club Mexicana
After wowing the crowds at Glastonbury 2017, let’s hope these festival favourites will be a regular feature, serving vegan tacos, burritos and nachos, opposite Leftfield, between the Pyramid Stage and Other Stage!.

Manic Organic
Jordan-Maynard.org wrote: “The Manics are a festival institution. A scarily large-scale organisation, a cast of what seems to be hundreds of well-drilled Antipodeans work in and behind their bedouin-style tent, and can process a queue like a military operation. The food is consistently good, a hearty plateful of Vegetable Daal or Chana and Potato Curry being just the thing on a cool evening.
Manic Organic have an established site on the main path through the green fields, as it passes between the Avalon and Greenpeace fields.”
These long established favourites are no longer at Glastonbury Festival. Use them or loose them – support vegan businesses.

The Peckish Peacock
A fresh, colourful blend of delicious Indian fused flavours, a lovingly created unique curry, cumin rice, scrummy pakoras, mouth-quenching mango with almond milk lassi, spiced apple tea, hot and cold drinks – 100% vegan, except milk for tea and coffee, with almond milk too, and plenty of wheat, gluten and yeast-free options.
“If you’re at Glastonbury and would like some delicious vegetarian, vegan, gluten free food or just want some top quality excellent nosh, come and find us in our new location by Yeoman’s bridge. We will be serving up a mouth watering treat from Monday onwards and can’t wait to fill your bellies”

Queen Delilah
Jordan-Maynard.org wrote: “Queen Delilah serves excellent and good-value salads. They have tasty black-eye bean burgers too, but the salads are so good they make a nice lunch on their own. Queen Delilah is a regular at Glastonbury on the east side of main route which divides the Avalon and Greenpeace fields, next door to the Manic Organic.”
These long established favourites are no longer at Glastonbury Festival. Use them or loose them – support vegan businesses.
Vegan Pyramid
At Glastonbury for the first time in 2017 and already cooking up a storm. Dawn Hackney wrote: “Ohhhh my god at this rate I’m going to turn vegan! Another lush meal last night @TheVeganPyramid top ranking #traderaward2017”
These long established favourites are no longer at Glastonbury Festival. However you can (and should) visit their vegan restaurant in Glastonbury Town. Use them or loose them – support vegan businesses.
Wholefood Heaven : Buddha Bowl
A Buddha Bowl, winner of Best Main Dish at the British Street Food Awards, contains all the following:
Massaman curry with new potatoes, pineapple and soya chunks
Carrot and homemade kimchi pickle
Flash steamed seasonal greens (usually kale!)
Organic short grain brown rice
Organic omega seed sprinkle
Grilled halloumi (optional)
They’re vegan (as long as you skip the halloumi!), wheat free, gluten free and very yummy!

Well done to The Fritter Shack, winning the Glastonbury Sustainable Trader Award at their first Glastonbury, in 2017. That’s what vegan food is all about and with many vegan vegetarian & gluten free options it’s easy to see why they are already winners.

Other Catering
Thali Cafe
The Thali Cafe has two pitches at Glastonbury, at Craft Field opposite Healing Space and at The Park next door to the Stonebridge Bar.
The Craft Field menu, on their 2013 article, seems so be the more veggie one with the “World Famous” Thali Veggie Breakfast Fry-Up, golden fried spicy potatoes, scrambled eggs, veggie sausage, baked beans and bread s/w our homemade Tomato Chutney. And for Lunch + Dinner: Keralan butternut and red pepper curry s/w coconut rice and salad, Samosa box s/w salad and homemade chutneys.

Seasonal Samosas
Seasonal Samosas is a family run catering business from North Devon and in Field of Avalon. ” We believe in an organic, sustainable, low carbon growing method to ensure our food is healthy and tasty; we even use a flock of Indian runner ducks as pest control!
Our dishes are the combination of age old secret Punjabi recipes mixed with fresh Devon produce and a British twist. The secret to our unique taste is in the ‘Garam Masala’; a mix of spices that is individual to families and handed down from mother to daughter over generations.”
