Hi just a quick question for previous CATs - how does the crew cafe compare price-wise to food stalls around the festival? Just popped into my head earlier.
Thanks! [:)]

There's a Tescos fairly close to Reading though, so you should be able to get food from there. And the crew cafe should offer free coffee/tea/hot water, so you should be okay for drinks.

yeah, but the food is a bit better, you get more of a meal then just a burger.

It's the same catering company as Latitude, which started off really well - For 4.50 you got a typical meat-and-two-veg type meal (or Vegetarian alternative) and a pudding, plus unlimited free coffee/tea/water. Unfortunately at Latitude they run out of puddings fairly quickly and ran out of cups, coffee and tea by the end of the weekend, so it may be worth taking your own cup and a small supply of coffee/tea.

Thanks all, might not have to worry about cooking then! Not camped since Phoenix festival 12 years ago and certainly never worked at a festival so didn't know about the fabulousness of the facilities available(!)
