One vodka and coke - £4.75

- The one thing we loved about the hotel at The Hub events was that they didn't charge ridiculous prices for drinks - how things have changed!!!

There's literally several takeaway places, a subway, mcdonalds, an all you can eat chinese buffet place, all nearby the Park Inn, and when I say nearby you're talking about 5 mins walk or so.

In fact, if you're not staying at the Park inn, you pass several of the places on route to the Park Inn !

This is happening in so many places. It is the sign of the financial markets. Places are increasing prices to recoup losses. The consumer is the one impacted.

sounds like a right royal rip off

Actually the Burger and Chips is not bad for a fiver. But as has been said, there are plenty of more places to eat within a 5-10minute walk.

I went to the Weatherspoons and paid around £7 for a meal. So its honestly not that bad.

I suppose you just learn to bring stuff with you or venture out if you dont want to pay the prices of a hotel.

Its not the most expensive around, thats for sure.

I didn't know you could bring your own drink.

Hm :)

[Talie]

you serious?

or you joke? lol

[touchthesky]

Serious.

There's also a few Bargain Booze type places only 10 minutes walk and places like Pizza Hut not far either.

But i suppose everyone has to learn somewhere.

When you do the Twilight Con in October (I'll be there too) Just bring stuff with you, or pop to the nearby shop

It will save you heaps of dosh

I thought a fiver for a cheeseburger and fries was quite reasonable. It was the curry for 350  quid the following night that broke the bank. :-p

Friday, I was on the OJ, was £1.45, had my own vodka in my bag, to last me the weekend. It lasted Friday and I was very hungover for my photos!

[Blackviolett]

The cheeseburger was lovely. However the pizza wasnt and the minute bowl of nachos with a bit of non spicey chilli over it was a rip off. I paid 15 quid for a bottle of wine which wasnt the best tasting and 5 pounds for vodka and pineapple. The stella was flat last night and the blackthorn tasted funny too. Rant over lol
