Wild price of toast at Glastonbury festival and food prices revealed as revellers feel ‘ripped off'
FURIOUS Glastonbury fans have slammed the "ridiculous" price of food and drink at this year's festival.
Festivalgoers have been sharing videos online of what's on offer at the Worthy Farm event's hundreds of food stalls, with some charging £14 for chips and £2 for "half a slice of toast".

Yesterday, The Sun revealed the cost of a pint at this year's festival, which kicked off on Wednesday and is set to welcome over 200,000 fans, is between £6.95 and £7.20 - up a maximum of 40p since last year.
A festivalgoer from Manchester, known as robbie.reviews on social media, posted a video to TikTok reviewing some French toast he'd bought for breakfast at the festival.
The "classic French toast" with maple syrup costs £6, but with just three half slices of toast included, one user pointed out that the stall is charging £2 for half a slice of toast.
"£2 for half a slice of toast, festivals are wild," they wrote.
Another said: " That's Glastonbury for ya....", while another user argued that "anything under £10 is ok" at the festival.
Elsewhere, food trucks have been spotted selling "loaded fries" for £14, toasted sandwiches for £10, and Mac and Cheese for up to £16.
Another reveller, known as BoSFinesse, posted a video to TikTok of a burger he got at Glastonbury this week - with some of his followers pointing out the "eye-watering" price of £15.
"Burgers are coming in at anywhere between 10 to 15 quid a pop, which is pretty much the average price of a meal anywhere at the festival" he said in the video, adding: "So be prepared to remortgage your house for this one."
One follower replied: "15 f***ing quid...", while another said the prices at the festival were "ridiculous".
"I'm sure I had one of these at an event a few weeks ago, the price was indeed eye watering but it was absolutely bloody delish!," another follower wrote.
One follower fumed: "Why is it 15 quid... rent cannot be much... just ripping people off."

However, Glastonbury has also been offering a £6 meal deal option since 2015, which is available at more than 250 stalls at the festival.
It comes as prices at the festival's on-site bars caused a stir among fans earlier in the week, with some dubbing the costs "absolutely disgusting".
A double shot of spirit with a mixer will set you back an astonishing £13, while pints of draught beer and cider cost between £6.95 and £7.20.
Glastonbury bar prices
Here's the breakdown of prices at Glastonbury:
Burrow Hill Cider - £6.50
Brothers Festival Cider - £6.95
Brooklyn Pilsner - £6.95
Stonewall Inn IPA - £7.20
Spirits&Mixers (double) - £12.90
Spirit&Red Bull (double) - £13.90
Wine (175ml) - £7.95
Soft drinks - £3
Red Bull - £5
Burrow Hill is best value pint on the menu this year, coming to £1.91 per unit.
Festivalgoers have also pointed out the huge premium being slapped on wine at the event, with organisers charging £32 for a bottle of wine that can be bought for less than than £10 from some retailers.
As photos of the on-site bar menu emerged on social media earlier this week, one fan commented on X: " Imagine paying over £300 for Glastonbury tickets to be told it's a further £32 for an £8 bottle of wine. 🤪 don't give festivals your coin it's a proper scam."
Some came to the defence of the festival bars, saying that the prices are "not bad".
One fan wrote: "That's not bad considering it's a festival."
Another person said: "Still cheaper than some pubs I've been to."
The Sun has contacted Glastonbury for comment.
Stars will take to the stage at the iconic festival from today, June 27, to June 29, with this year's headliners including The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo.

How trendsetting Brit Anna Wintour became fashion's ultimate force at Vogue – with NO ONE safe from her sharp tongue
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SHE came, she saw the fashion world from behind her Chanel sunglasses, she conquered. After 37 years as the formidable force on US Vogue, Anna Wintour is stepping aside as Editor-in-Chief. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Anna Wintour has announced she's quitting her iconic role at American Vogue in a shock career move Credit: GC Images 6 Anna, pictured in 1996, has had her signature razor-sharp bob since the age of 14 Credit: Getty The move marks the end of an era, in which the UK-born power player ruled the fashion industry with a perfectly manicured fist. One flick of her hair or glance and your fate was sealed. Dame Anna, honoured by Queen Elizabeth II in 2017 in full Chanel couture, turned unknown models into stars, transformed 'trashy' celebs into tastemakers, and set trends the high street copied. Her signature razor-sharp bob — which she has had since the age of 14 — needs two daily blow-dries (morning and evening) and near-constant trims. Her attitude is equally polished — and feared. Nicknamed Nuclear Wintour for her icy reputation, she remains fashion's most enigmatic personality. The documentary The September Issue offered a rare peek inside Vogue's Manolo Blahnik-strewn corridors, capturing the chaos of assembling an 840-page edition of the magazine in 2007. Debuting in 2009 at Sundance and grossing around £7million, the film cemented Anna's status as the ultimate force in fashion. Surrounded by 'thin, rich and young' people Her frosty persona inspired The Devil Wears Prada's Miranda Priestly — Meryl Streep's pursed lips and cutting glares were taken straight from the Wintour playbook — and even The Incredibles' eccentric designer Edna Mode was modelled on her. But inside Vogue, Anna's power wasn't a scowl or stare. It was a yellow Post-it note stuck to the bottom of a printout, bearing the a seal of approval 'AWOK' — Anna Wintour OK — which could make or break careers. One star Anna truly legitimised was Kim Kardashian. When she boldly put Kim and then-fiance Kanye West on Vogue's cover in 2014, the fashion elite gasped. Anna Wintour finally sets record straight on Met Gala outfit rule rumor after years of speculation Her response? 'If we only put tasteful people on the cover, no one would talk about us.' Anna also championed other stars — giving Kendall Jenner strong Vogue backing and helping her break into high fashion. She championed Gisele Bundchen in the late 1990s and early 2000s, featuring her on many Vogue covers, and Kate Upton's debut on the front of the magazine in 2013 signalled a shift toward embracing curvier models in the industry. Infamously private, Anna Wintour's influence is impossible to ignore. The Devil Wears Prada even became a musical — proof of her cultural reach. At 75, she kept Vogue not just relevant, but reigning as fashion and culture's ultimate authority. From supermodel golden eras to today's social media trends, Anna transformed the title from a magazine into a global style empire. Every May, she breaks the internet with the Met Gala — her annual, star-studded spectacle where celebrities stun in jaw-dropping looks. What was once a low-key fundraiser transformed under her reign into fashion's most exclusive, over-the-top, meme-worthy night. 6 Anna Wintour cracks a rare smile while at work in 1989 Credit: Getty 6 Anna's frosty persona inspired The Devil Wears Prada's Miranda Priestly Credit: Alamy Starting in 2004, Anna harnessed showbiz glamour to skyrocket the event into global fame. Today, from TikTokers to A-listers, the guest list is fiercely selective — just 30 seconds of fame on a bright red carpet holds massive cultural weight. While Anna wields immense power over designer brands and celebrities, she has also had a huge impact on the high street. From her very first Vogue cover mixing budget jeans with couture, she has championed accessible fashion for all. Anna has been key in shaping runway trends that trickle down to high street retailers. In 2009, she launched Fashion's Night Out, turning shopping into a celebrity- studded, cocktail-fuelled event in New York and London, raising funds for causes such as the NYC AIDS Fund and September 11 Memorial until the event ended in 2013. But Anna did not just dip into retail — she transformed the high-street experience. By blending celebrity appeal, charity and immersive theatre, she redefined how brands engage with shoppers. She was a fixture at Topshop's London Fashion Week shows and has long championed luxury-meets-store collaborations — think Balmain x H&M — bringing runway glamour to the masses and giving the UK high street a major boost. FASHION QUEEN In an interview with The Times last year, Anna tipped her hat to Gap for snapping up designer Zac Posen and gave props to Uniqlo for working with Givenchy's former artistic director Clare Waight Keller, who had designed Meghan Markle's wedding dress. The fashion queen said: 'These big mass companies have finally clocked the power of creativity. You wouldn't have seen that ten, 15, even 20 years ago.' Anna has two children — Charles, a psychiatrist born in 1985, and TV producer Katherine, known as Bee, who she had in 1987. Their father is child psychiatrist David Shaffer, who Anna was married to from 1984 to 2020. She is reportedly romantically linked to actor Bill Nighy, though they describe themselves as close friends. Still, in Wintour's world, loyalty can be as fleeting as fashion trends. 6 When Anna boldly put Kim and then-fiance Kanye West on Vogue's cover in 2014, the fashion elite gasped Credit: AP:Associated Press 6 Anna with fellow Brit fashion icon Naomi Campbell Credit: Getty Her decades-long friendship with the late Andre Leon Talley — once her trusted right-hand at Vogue — ended bitterly after he was pushed aside.

After various scandals, names such as John Galliano and Dolce & Gabbana were swiftly frozen out of Vogue's world — proving that even fashion royalty are not safe from her. Yet despite the many ups and downs, one thing is certainly true. Anna Wintour is a force, a legend and one hell of a woman whose influence stretches far beyond the pages of Vogue. She will now focus on her roles as Global Editorial Director and Chief Content Officer at the magazine's publisher Condé Nast. Whoever is picked to take over her old job better be able to fill her Manolo Blahnik pumps.

‘Dynamic pricing' is coming to top tables, says leading restaurateur
'Dynamic pricing' is coming to British restaurants, Jeremy King has warned. The renowned restaurateur, whose establishments have included Le Caprice and The Wolseley, said he was 'really uncomfortable' with the idea of charging more for a steak on a Saturday than a Monday. However, he did say it was 'fair' for restaurants to sell tables to customers willing to spend a certain amount to stop people ordering the 'absolute minimum' and spending the entire time taking pictures for social media. Dynamic pricing, commonly used for concerts and theatre shows, means the cost of something changes according to demand, with tickets for popular events shooting up the moment as go on sale and the public rushes to buy one. The practice came under fire when it was applied to fans trying to get tickets for the upcoming Oasis reunion. Speaking on the Go To Food podcast, Mr King, 71, said: 'I don't begrudge the restaurants, for instance, which are using the apps to sell tables in advance because they've got fed up with people who book months in advance and then spend the entire meal taking photographs of themselves and of the food, ordering the absolute minimum they can just so they can put it on social media. 'So hold the tables back and those restaurants that say if you're willing to pay £200 we have a table for you on a Saturday, I think that's fair. 'I don't like the encroaching dynamic pricing whereby your steak is going to cost more on a Saturday night than it is on a Monday night, that makes me really uncomfortable but that's coming through. 'We've already seen it in the theatre, it widens the rich prosper and the poor are deprived.' Earlier this year, King himself introduced a 25 per cent discount at his two restaurants, Arlington and The Park, for diners eating after 9pm to encourage the public to 're-acquaint' themselves with eating late.
