It's pretty disgraceful to charge that much I think. What about the dealers that are working and can't be away from the stalls too long, they won't have time to get over to the NEC?

keithporter23 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 We paid nearly £9 for 1 glass of wine at the bar. I can't believe I actually bought one! Fish & chips in the 'gastropub' was about £15 - and sandwiches in the bar area were minimum £12. Anyone fancy going halves with me and buying a burger van, parking it in the carpark and we make some serious dosh. We could charge a tenner for a burger - it would still be miles cheaper than inside the hotel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem was if you were staying at the hotel, and wanted food later after Showmasters was finished for the day. Suppose it serves me right for not booking the dinner with the great guests on the Saturday night!! I will do next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Fooku Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I ate lunch in the specially laid on food court area both days and thought it was excellent value and was very pleased SM went to the trouble to organise something like this for the punters. I also had breakfast in the hotel Sunday morning which was very good as well, excellent choice for the buffet and all good quality stuff. I ate in the hotel bar Saturday evening and while £14 for a cheese and bacon burger and chips is not exactly cheap, it was freshly cooked, served promptly while it was nice and hot and it was a good sized portion. I think generally you have to accept that in an airport hotel it's unlikely you are ever going to get a bargain eating in the hotel's regular restaurants.
