6. what will you eat?


If you've never been before you may be wondering 'what will I eat during my time at Momentum?'

Well, have no fear, you will eat food... but it's up to you whether you want to rough it bush tucker style or go a bit posher and have various people and restaurants cook for you!


cooking on a camping stove...

A camping trip offers all kinds of 'back to nature' type challenges, the most vital of which involves keeping hunger at bay. If you're coming to Momentum you'll probably be cooking on a camping stove and we thought it'd be nice to help those who are struggling for bush tucker recipes get some ideas!

the food court...

Broken the camping stove or looking for a change from plain old pasta every night? Check out the sumptuous cuisine on offer at the cafés and food vans we've set up around site! The food court hosts vans with a wide range of options including tasty sandwiches, filled jacket potatoes, Mexican dishes, and that Momentum perennial favourite: hot, fresh doughnuts.


how much will it cost?

If you plan on eating just from the food court vendors you will want to budget between £10 and £15 a day - depending on your appetite. They serve all sorts of stuff, but most of it isn't too healthy! The vendors and their prices are contracted by the Royal Bath and West Showground and not Soul Survivor, so unfortunately we can't do anything about the cost (sorry).


the shop...

A shop sells basic items, toiletries, batteries and confectionary amongst other things. For all those sensible, organised and capable enough to cook on a camping stove there are gas cylinders and freezer packs available onsite too. Tesco, (with the nearest cash point) , are a short drive away in Shepton Mallet, though this isn't within easy walking distance.


fancy a dinner out somewhere?

Pub lunches, the local Indian and other restaurants may provide a nice break from site in the nearby villages... The Natterjack, just a few minutes drive away from the Showground towards Castle Cary, is always a very good option, whereas the Priestleigh Inn, at the top of the hill towards Shepton Mallet is also a nice and friendly food serving establishment!
