£5.10 Sausage in a bap?

[Rufus]

I was lucky enough to have my lunch provided for me on both days, but I did notice that food seemed a bit cheaper like for like at the rally course than it did at the bottom of the hill.

how about this saw nice rossi jacket for my wife onthe friday at grand prix legends for £50 went to show her on the saturday and it had gone up to £80...now if they had priced it wrong on the friday ok but i am a bit skeptical.
by the way she loved it so i got it for her (it was her birthday) so they did ok out of me anyway

£7.50 for a Burger that is a considerable margin away from 'Devine' <cough> purchased at Twickenham is seriously unacceptable, 5 quid for a Goodwood Burger that tastes pretty good at the FOS or the (free entry) Breakfast Club is fine if you ask me.

That's why hospitality rules!! Thank you Alfa!

Goodwood FoS Strategy:

• 1x Little Chef Olympic Breakfast @ Fontwell (3 miles down the road)
• 1x Bottle of water mid morning. Use said bottle to fill up from the many standpipes (at all the toilet clusters).
• 1x mid afternoon pasty from one of the various vendors. At £4 it isn't much more than you'll pay on the high street and is filling. This year Steak & Stilton was by far the best (Friday), large cornish was a bit fatty (Saturday) and Steak and Ale a little underfilled (Sunday)
• 1x Beechdean pot at £2.50 - which is hardly daylight robbery and you'll pay more in the cinema.

Daily spend ~ £20.

For snacks, grab a handful of Little Chef lollies for when you need a sugar rush.

Hardly rocket science.

full english breakfast for £9.50 was slightly more expensive than you would expect though.

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

True but compared with the cafe not far off the A27 which is by goodwood which gave you more on your plate for 4.50 i considered it to be pricey given alternatives which were there

I could not raise the finance needed for the Goodwood "organic" burgers, I looked at them and thought they were even more of a rip-off!

[FuriousGeorge]

£3.50 for a pint of the Goodwood ale is pretty good going, same as most pubs round here (Brighton). It's the places that were charging more for a pint of Carling that need complaining about. Anyway, you wouldn't want to make the alcohol too cheap or you risk it ending up like some kind of Houx Mad Friday hoonup, which would kind of spoil the atmosphere somewhat.

I build and sell the majority of the units at said shows and events.
The rent the guys pay is a fair amount. Then they have to staff the units.
They then get charged for electrics waste and gas.
They have to own fridge vans or trucks to hold the stock at safe temperatures.

So there are some fairly chunky costs before they have sold one burger.

They do make a fairly good living but it's very hard work.

I made and brought my own lunch on Friday and Sunday - brought my own water too. Apart from a bottle of coke I spent nada on 3rd party catering.

[RonJohnson]

Four days at Goodwood turned out to be more expensive than a week at Le Mans. probably my own fault for not planning better on the food and beer front. Lesson well and truely learned.

[S7Paul]

It appeared to me that the prices were about the same as you'd pay at Download, Reading or any similar music festival. The quality of the food on offer at Goodwood seemed to be a bit better though, so I guess you can't complain too much. I don't think anyone goes there expecting cheap food (or cheap anything for that matter).

The stonebaked pizza stall was great value IMO.

agreed, and tasted very good too.

£3.50 for the goodwood ale is very good too. like you say, you will pay more than that for a pint in most of the 'yuppie' pubs in town

Man at the bacon roll van situated before the entrance says (upon hearing the Scottish accent) "is that moths coming out of your wallet?". I've just paid £8 for two bacon rolls you fat tt, pissoff! He's got a new 5series parked out the back of it so he's doing quite alright...

People commenting on other peoples spending habits really gets on my nerves. Such an unacceptable thing to do.

[Flanders.]

£4 for a Pint of Carling stung a bit.

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.

I got told the same by the nice lady in the burger van next to us the year we took a works vehicle there. Except she reckons her boss had been charged four figures for a pitch. And I don't mean £99.99

[Jem0911]

Goodwood charges a percentage. And it's high IMO.
Built two new coffee units for a customer. One of which was christened at Goodwood.
Did fairly well. Up a small amount on last year.
Went from there to the open with six units not good.
So it's swings and roundabouts.
