£5.10 Sausage in a bap?

[Jackleman]

£5.10 for a very boring ""Organic Sausage in a bap"" hmmmm expensive? I know it is organic but it is does not taste any different, possibly worse. Thankfully I was seriously hungover and did not need to feed until about mid afternoon.

Oh and the £4 pound Carling was a chuckle!

Organic snout, tail, belly and trotters. Welcome to the world of sausage profiteering!

£2 for a bottle of water...£2 for an icecream - crazy.
Solution: Packed lunch and refill water bottles from the standpipes.

[Trophybloo]

Pint of London Pride Goodwood £4
4 x 500ml Tanglewood cans form Tescos at Broadbrige Heath £3.37

Have coolbox will travel.

i found £13.50 for smoked salmon reasonable, full english breakfast for £9.50 was slightly more expensive than you would expect though.

The bap and the breakfast prices are pretty much what they charge at the monthly breakfasts. Pricey yes, but at least no worse than usual.

I am luckier enough to live 3.5miles away from Goodwood. I doing it all on the cheap. I buy my tickets and buy a programme. That is all the money he (Earl of March) gets from me. As I cycle up there each day. I take my flask of hot water and tea bags, packed lunch, bottled water (which I fill up at the standing pipes). As I think it is disgusting the amount he charges for food/drink etc.

The prices are high at events like these, that's just the way it is. If you don't want to pay the high prices for food and drink there is no problem with people bringing their own food with them. I think having a picnic down by the cricket pitch is just the ticket personaly

we rented a house for the weekend a few miles away but still bought food when we were there purely for the convenience factor, thought it was disgusting that the goodwood coffee shop had ran out of milk and had very little sugar although refused to lower its price for coffee although you could only have it black, didnt bother me as i have black coffee anyways but the chap in front was furious and rightfully so!! that aside i think the weekend was superb!!

I have been going since 1997 to the FoS. Each year the food/drink gets pricier. I know it is what you expect for places/event.

If you are willing to pay such a ridiculous sum then who can blame them for charging it?

It's not as though they force you to buy such overpiced tacky st now is it?

[Pistachio]

£4.50 for what was supposed to be a cheese and tomato Pannini but actually tasted like polystyrene with yellow paste and sort of a tomato.
I got my money back and had some chips for half the money

That's what a full English costs at Ponti's around the corner from my office (sunny London)

£6.80 for a 'Pork Baguette', would like to see the profit margin on that, actually I would also like to have seen some meat in it rather than just fat!!!

[Jackleman]

£5.10 for an average sausage in a very plain bap I think is quite expensive, as others have said nobody forced me to pay for it, I just think they are taking the mickey a bit also with everything else there being so expensive! Thankfully I got a free ticket so it worked out to be a cheap day.

[Davi]

I'd like to know how much a pitch costs there, as I can imagine it is rather pricey. Not that I am defending the prices, I think they are criminally high, I'd just prefer to know who to blame LOL.

I'd also quite like to set up a stall there next year and sell everything at high street prices plus a few % mark up for my effort. Piss everyone else selling there off no end I'd imagine.

[PompeyM3]

The only problem with taking your own food is having to carry it around half of the day and that hike to the rally course and the top paddock is hard going enough as it is. I took a few snacks and then grabbed a burger and an ice cream during the day. Yes it's expensive, but how often is Goodwood FoS.

It seemed a good idea to make sure you take your car keys with you as a few of the stands were doing free drinks for owners of their brand. Me and the wife cup a nice cup of tea at Land Rover for the sum of £0

[tomtom]

The stonebaked pizza stall was great value IMO.

[Jackleman]

It is not that expensive to have a stand there, a few hundred quid I am told but Goodwood take a percentage of your turnover, seems quite fair actually as it means if the vendor gets put in a crap spot Lord March gets less wonga.
