The Queen of festivals, you really cannot beat Glastonbury for the ultimate UK music festival experience. Luckily for us coeliacs, having a gluten free Glastonbury Festival is EASY! I have been going for years (2019 will be my 8th Glasto) and it just gets better for gluten free choices each time. Take a haul of gluten free snack supplies and a camping stove if you want to save some money, otherwise let loose into the festival and gorge on some amazing gluten free meals. These days there are tonnes of stalls with gluten free options, including some fully gluten free stands, meaning you can have the exact same festival experience as the gluten eaters.

Gluten Free Glastonbury Festival Stalls
Dosa Deli (CONFIRMED FOR 2019)
Delicious South Indian Street Food. The entire stall was gluten free last time we visited. I recommend their dosa wraps (made with naturally gluten free lentil flour) with chilli tomato chutney and paneer cheese filling, bombey bhel and coconut chutney sauce. Add a gluten free onion bahji on the side if you are extra hungry.
WHERE: Two stalls for 2019 – they have confirmed their locations as their usual spot in William’s Green, opposite the Queen’s Head at the bottom of muddy lane near the meeting point. The other truck has moved slightly and will now be between the Other Stage and Silver Hayes.
Le Rac Shack and Le Steak Shack (CONFIRMED FOR 2019)
I love cheese. The other glasto favourite I tend to make a beeline for is Le Rac Shack as they have a few gluten free options. Try new potatoes, cornichons and French slaw with melted raclette cheese on top or cheese chips with gravy! They also have gluten free sausages and steak.
WHERE: Opposite the Somerset cider bus just up from the Band Stand.
Paellaria (CONFIRMED FOR 2019)
Yummy gluten free paella (or have a bi-ella, which is half chicken and chorizo paella and half squash, chickpea and bean paella). New for 2019 is a third spot, Paellaria Vegan, which is going to be fully vegan and free from the top 14 allergens. Brilliant news!
WHERE: At William’s Green and also between the Other Stage and the Pyramid Stage. Paellaria Vegan will be on the road to Avalon, at the top end near the Greenpeace field.
The Happy Maki (CONFIRMED FOR 2019)
Specialising in vegan sushi and with some gluten free options available. This year everything will be gluten free aside from two of their sauces (avoid the teriyaki and hoisin as they contain gluten). Staff are happy to swap them for a gluten free sauce instead, just let them know.
WHERE: In William’s Green next to Paelleria.
Flavors of Africa (CONFIRMED FOR 2019)
Serving Nigerian food and completely gluten free, dairy free and wheat free. Dishes include jollof rice, bean cake, bbq chicken, plantain and spinach stew.
WHERE: TBC.
Buddha Bowls (CONFIRMED FOR 2019)
Winners of the people’s choice awards at Glastonbury in 2016, this is one of my top recommendations. Their buddha bowls are completely gluten free and are the perfect hit of filling, healthy food. Massaman curry with new potatoes, pineapple and soya chunks with kimchi pickle, steamed greens, brown rice, omega seeds and halloumi. The dish is vegan too if you have it without the halloumi.
WHERE: TBC. In 2017 they were located to the left of the Pyramid Stage.
Dough (CONFIRMED FOR 2019)
Proper gluten free pizza, with strong measures to prevent cross contamination, at the Dough stand. They use rice flour for all their pizza dusting, making it much safer for us coeliacs. Their pizza tasted AWESOME in 2017 and I’ll be making a beeline for them in 2019.
WHERE: At the entrance to The Park.
Wingmans (CONFIRMED FOR 2019)
Chicken wings and chips. These guys were SO SO helpful in providing gluten free info when I contacted them and I will definitely be trying them at the 2019 festival. David in their team sent me a list of their gluten free options and confirmed that these are all safe for coeliacs (two require some minor alterations so please read carefully) – they will have COELIAC SAFE CHIPSSSSSS too! All gluten free items are cooked separatly.
Gluten free menu items:
Buffalo Wings (+ Blue Cheese Dip & Celery)

WHERE: West Holts, right next to the bar at the top of the field, to the right of the stage as you face it.
La Bonne Crepe (CONFIRMED FOR 2019)
Gluten free galettes galore! Check about cross-contamination when you order if you are coeliac in case some products may contain traces of wheat from the cooking process. The whole menu can be made gluten free and they offer vegan options too.
WHERE: The Pyramid Stage opposite Boulevard Bar.
The Cake Hole (CONFIRMED FOR 2019)
The Cake Hole have an EPIC array of gluten free cakes for the 2019 festival, including gluten free sticky toffee pudding! The answer to my hungover prayers.

Wowie.
WHERE: In the Accoustic Field, near the bar.
Carlito Burrito (NEW FOR 2019)
A newcomer to the 2019 festival food scene, Carlito Burrito tell me that all their burritos are gluten free if you have them as a rice bowl rather than wrap. The bowls will feature refried beans, Mexican red rice, chipotle sour cream, pico de gallo salsa, choice of fillings and fresh lettuce.

Pyramid Catering (CONFIRMED FOR 2019)
Breaking food news – this year they are offering gluten free, vegan “fish” and chips and battered “sausage” and chips – a Glastonbury first – as well as loaded fries and chips with dips! Oh plus banana fritters if you fancy something sweet and they also offer a gluten free vegan full English style brekkie with vegan sausage, fried potato, mushrooms and baked beans.
Matt who runs the stall mentioned to me that their fryers are completely gluten free as only gluten free things are fried in them, but as per many stalls they do use gluten in their kitchen. They have measures to prevent cross contamination and keep everything as separate as possible.
WHERE: In the market area on the walk between the Other Stage and the Pyramid Stage, close to the Pyramid Stage.
Fish Finger Heaven (CONFIRMED FOR 2019)
Fish Finger Heaven will be offering gluten free menu options, which includes gluten free fish finger butties and potato waffles with cheesy beans all prepared in a cleansed area of the stall. They take cross contam really seriously (they do have normal bread too, but all done very separately) and have separate griddles, cutley, butter dish, etc, plus packaging is also kept separate to eliminate cross contamination as far as possible
YAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

La Grande Bouffe (UNCONFIRMED)
Tartiflette and gluten free sausages YES. That’s your hangover sorted. There are normally a couple of these stalls on the festival site and they are my all-time favourite gluten free glastonbury food stop. After a heavy cider-fuelled night I NEED CARBS and I need them fast. This French stall does a mean tartiflette (potatoes, cheese, garlic, bacon amazingness) with optional gluten free sausage on top. This place has saved me from certain hangover death on more than one occasion and is always the first food place I seek out at the festival.
WHERE: TBC. Usually the West Holts Stage (to the left of the Brothers Bar) and Pyramid Stage (on the left of the stage as you look at it, near the Cider Bus).

Dishes include Caribbean chicken, chicken chorizo stew with butter beans and olives, massaman curry, Perisan fusion (vegan) and a full English breakfast that is fully gluten free and sounds amazing (Cumberland sausage, tomatoes, Heinz beans, mushrooms, bacon, poacked egg).
