£5.10 Sausage in a bap?
Discussion
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 think having a picnic down by the cricket pitch is just the ticket personaly £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.
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.

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
