Porsche Cafe at FOS

[SamH216]

Thinking about booking a table - has anyone been? Recommend it?

No mention of prices on the website, any idea what to expect?

Thanks

OK for lunch etc. but whatever you do, give breakfast a miss. It is getting smaller each year and you will literally need two or three of them!

Not cheap, not expensive given where you are.

wouldn't have minded a lunch here but the lack of prices on the menu put me off.

If anyone is interested...

Full Porsche hospitality is £380 for the day.

Includes entry to FoS (grandstand access ticket), a program, food, drink and viewing all day from a private part of the cafe (no idea what the view is like).

Good find, I’ll try and find one for the Lamborghini restaurant as pizza sounds good. The breakfast sounds the same as the GRRC enclosure which whilst nice I’d rather spend £15 on bacon and sausage baguettes. What’s wrong with a proper hash brown?

Superb, thanks.

Kind of stupid questions but how much it will take to eat around Festival. I look up at the porsche cafe menu and it's really above my budget.

Is there another place to eat or better prepared and bring your own food?

Going to FoS on shoestring budget atm

Food is event prices, think £7 for a burger, £3/4 a tray of chips, £4/5 a pint.

I go to the FoS all four days. On the Wednesday, I go to Sainburys and buy my food and water for the weekend. I will probably spend about £35's and that is food for the weekend. Plus I take a flask of hot water and tea bags for tea. But I am only live a few miles few FoS.

I'm there for the 4 days and camp close by - I make some sandwiches and take some beer in with me. ( last year Security let you take 4 cans in, not sure what the restrictions are this year, presumably the same). Have seen other folk take hot dogs in a thermos flask and dish out hot dogs that way - which I thought was a good idea.

Hot dogs in a thermos! Haven't heard of that one for a while. My mum used to do that for my school lunch back in the 80's!

I've bought some John West 'light lunch' packs of various tuna salads - they come with a handy fork and are quite tasty.
Carrying a thermos flask around is too much hassle on your own, family of four though....

Sounds like fun going in with you lot! What's wrong with a few fast food purchases and two pints of doom bar! Fat Friday here we come!!

Just to update this thread - I had afternoon tea today at the Porsche Cafe.

Service was absolutely shocking. After getting seated, 15+ minutes went by without anyone bothering to take my order. Food eventually arrived but was average and with bits missing. Tea came a further 5 minutes later but it was so weak it was undrinkable.

It looked like a lot of people were complaining. I felt really bad for the young lady who was dealing with the complaints (Anne Marie?) as it really wasn't her fault and was doing her best to sort things.

Will definitely give the Porsche Cafe a miss next year!

It’s probably worth feeding this back to Goodwood I believe all catering is run by a company called Rhubarb and my dads experience in Kinara meant he walked away prior to getting food. Much better service at the Goodwood burger vans and independents.

As above, Don't forget all these kids apply for these jobs, they turn up on Thursday get a placement, a quick briefing and off they go for a 12 hour plus shift

on minimum wage.

In my opinion the Porsche Cafe got it so wrong this year.

I've been using them each year for Lunch, pretty much since they started. Always a nice menu and reasonably priced vs the vans outside considering you get a seat and under cover.

After 4 hours of breathing in petrol and burning rubber - my lunch thoughts don't start with Seabass or Salmon. Bring back a menu to suit a wider audience please. And sort out the service. Monster delays and I lost count of the number of people asking for their money back.

Porsche Cafe - please learn from your mistakes.
