Glastonbury festival goers are likely nursing their blues as the 2025 event draws to a close. The spectacular weekend was filled with fantastic music, a triumphant return for Lewis Capaldi, plenty of beverages, and delicious food.
However, this morning, as hangovers abound and sustenance is required, many will be queuing at the food trucks before making their way home. Yet, the price one man paid for a few slices of toast has left people in disbelief.
As attendees share online the offerings from the hundreds of food stalls at Worthy Farm, fans have criticised the “ridiculous” prices. This comes after reports of people shelling out up to £7.20 for a pint, £14 for chips, and one man parting with £2 for half a slice of toast.
A food enthusiast, known online as Robbie Reviews, has been sharing his candid opinions on all the food he’s sampled at this year’s festival.
The Glastonbury-goer, hailing from Manchester, revealed that he purchased a plate of “classic French toast” with maple syrup, costing him £6. This included three slices of toast, equating to £2 per slice.
In terms of taste, Robbie claimed it was faultless, describing it as a “nice” treat that he polished off quickly. He also ordered the brunch French toast topped with banana, whipped cream, and granola for £8.50.
Overall, Robbie felt the dishes were “nice but not enough food”, suggesting he would need to eat again soon.
Festival-goers were left gobsmacked by the exorbitant prices at Glastonbury, with one commenting, “£2 for half a slice of toast, festivals are wild,” Another quipped, “Made of money you mate,” in response to Robbie’s spending spree.
A third remarked that “anything under £10 [at Glastonbury] is OK”.
Another festival attendee noted: “Looks good. I’d be starving mind.”
Robbie didn’t hold back and sampled a variety of food offerings at the event, including American barbecue from Tipsy Texan Smoke Truck, a south Indian breakfast from Lalitas, a burrito bowl, a cheeseburger and truffle fries from NYC Downlow, and a gravy train poutine.
The Sun highlighted social media buzz around the onsite bar menu, with one fan lamenting on X: “Imagine paying over £300 for Glastonbury tickets to be told it is a further £32 for an £8 bottle of wine. Don’t give festivals your coin it’s a proper scam.”
In a previous report, it was revealed that Co Op prices at the festival were significantly higher than local store prices, with sun cream costing £7.70 and most sandwiches exceeding £4.
Drink prices have also seen a hike, with a Brooklyn Pilsner now at £6.95, up from £6.75, a Stonewell IPA rising from £7 to £7.20, and a Brothers Festival cider reaching £6.95, previously priced at £6.75.
