If you’re lucky enough to be going to Glastonbury this year, look out for some of Bristol’s finest food producers who are collaborating at the festival under the banner of Eat Bristol to offer a taste of the best of local, artisan, slow take away food.

Collaboration is the name of the game for Bristol food and drink producers at the moment. Collaboration was the name of the ale made earlier this year as result of Bristol Beer Factory, Arbor Ales and Zero Degrees combining forces.

Now, Trethowan’s Dairy, Kate’s Kitchen, Lahloo Tea, Soul Burger and Hobbs House Bakery have all packed their wellies and have headed to Pilton to share the delights of Bristol’s food scene with hungry festival-goers.

Trethowan’s Dairy is teaming up with Somerset cheesemaker Jamie Montgomery to serve West Country Raclette, the traditional alpine dish of grilled cheese scraped over new potatoes, spicy gherkins and pickled onions with lashings of salt and pepper

Kate’s Kitchen, Bristol caterer and champion of local, seasonal and sustainable produce, is offering a selection of breakfasts, soups, and tagines.

Lahloo High Tea, a collaboration between Kate Gover, founder of artisan tea producer Lahloo Tea and Kirstie Urquhart, promises to offer a slice of the high life. There will be tea, iced teas and tea smoothies served with macaroons, cakes and giant all-time favourite biscuits.

And if that’s not enough, Nathan Lee of Hyde & Co and operations director of the Clifton Lido, Glassboat and Spyglass will be serving up 100 per cent local beef burgers and seasonal salads.

All of the ingredients used in the food are from within 35 miles of the site, apart from the tea which is blended in Bristol and sourced directly from family-owned tea gardens in India, Japan, China as well as the Hampshire countryside.

Find the Eat Bristol pitch in market H, near to Yeoman’s Bridge, behind the Circus field where Bristol’s Circomedia will also be entertaining the crowds during the festival.
