I always feel the meal in the 'spoons or the "cafes" there are a total piss take. This time we headed over to Resort World for lunch which whilst not the last word in fine dining was better than the s
te they serve in the main building.

It sounds like I've saved a fortune. I might try and make that £110 saved in total by giving Excel a miss as well£25 ticket

you can get food before or after as I did or as suggested take your own
6 of us in total so fuel was about £30 between us all.
So not always that expensive.

I've given Excel a miss for the last couple of years - traffic is horrendous, parking is daylight robbery, & the food is simply outrageously expensive total & utter ste. So I saved £50 on a lid.....graeme4130 said:

Went today. It started off quiet then got very busy. First time we have gone on the weekend, noticed there were lots of kids about, no surprise as they weren't at school. Overall seemed better than last year. Don't know why they no longer have promo girls draped over the display bikes like they do on the continent.
Expect we will probably go again next year, might even drag my son along!

We went Thursday. Started off really quiet but filled up around 12. First year in 14 years of visiting that i didnt take my licence and there was no one booking at the testing stands. Would have liked a go on the small dirt course on an Adv bike.
The show was quite good, not many bikes that really wet my whistle to be honest. Lots of small off roaders seem to be coming out which is interesting, but maybe its just become a little too predictable.
i pre-booked with the bag included so that was £25, plus the bus at £16, then a breakfast en-route at £6 then some Wetherspoons beer at £4. Took food for journey back but still not that cheap at £50
