I know Goodwood personnel pop in here,
Now, it might well be estate organic bacon that you can identify and name the "donor" animal, but £6 for two rashers and a roll. yikes

C'mon guys this is taking the pith.

I didn't partake. At least my doc will be pleased I suppose. biggrin

I was particularly griping about the Goodwood Estate Organic vans pricing. Others are selling bacon rolls at £4.50 or £5. Its the Goodwood wagons that are really upping the price.

I'm not convinced that £4.50 for two rashers and a bun is not over-priced, but an additional 25% for Goodwood's own in-house facility shows the money grabbing attitude.

Don't even start me on the especially piss-poor catering and bar offerings and pricing within the "exclusive" GRRC March Enclosure rage

I think the point that is being missed, and to be clear I am not complaining just commenting, (I bought 3 of the them smile ) is that it is a shame that it appears that some food things are excessively priced. Whether you have the option to take your own, whether you decide to have an egg roll instead, or whether you grin and bear it, £6 for a bacon sandwich is a bit of a rough deal for two slices of bacon when others are selling it more cheaply.
Which, yes, suggests that the punters didn't look to see what their options were but there you are.
Thank you. That was exactly my original point.

The Goodwood Organic Food wagons were selling them at £6, others at anything from £4.50 which is just taking the rind.
