Persephone1 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I think that was in the special room put on by ME, as the actual hotel prices are way more than that. Yes I meant in the canteen that was put on by Massive Events. You won't get hardly anything on the actual Hilton menu for under a tenner (except a bowl of chips) but if ME are putting on their own food (which I thought they had confirmed they were) then if the prices are similar to the Bad eh eh ehhhh you can still eat well at the event for a very reasonable price.

Sway84 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 There's also a Subway at the NEC if you're into that kind of food, and I think there are other places in there as well. You can check out the NEC website for a map. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizzy88 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 that's good to know there are places to eat around the Hilton - it sounds rather expensive and the last time I was at the NEC I didn't eat anything all day lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avengers7 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 It is expensive but the food is lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Regarding the Hilton breakfast, someone at work says there is tons of choice and you don't know where to start first - is this true? I've never stayed in any Hilton hotel before. xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avengers7 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Thats right. The breakfast is great - fills you up for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sway84 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Thats right. The breakfast is great - fills you up for the day. Good to know. Though I rather not have everybody see how big exactly my breakfast was when I do my photo ops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never stayed in any Hilton hotel before. xxx I stayed in the Northampton Hilton hotel for the hub 2 (i camped at the first one at Billing Aquadrome! In october!! lol) I only had the breakfast one day (one time i got upto late and had to leave straight away) but when i did have it there was ALOT of choice. It was really nice. You don't know what to have, theres loads of cereals too. You end up having a plate of totaly unrelated food that don't even go well cos you want a bit of everything I'm guessing its the same in birmingham...

The Hilton has a much, much better selection than Northampton. You'll be spoilt for choice Edited October 15, 2009 by reddragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absinthefairy88 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 For those worried about the size of the Hilton and getting around - I found a map of the hotel that was put online for people attending a Supernatural convention earlier this year. So if anyone wants it, I'll be happy to send the link out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelkitty Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Both times I've been there (for Bad Wolf 2008 and Bad Wolf 2009) there was a dinner hall, with Chips, crisps and baguettes etc, plenty of seating Not cheap for what it is though. The hotel isn't far from the NEC complex which has a Subway and various other eateries; but these were shut in the summer. This time of year might be better. I was at Bad Wolf 2008 and thought the prices of the meals offered for the con food was pence. It was like £3.50 for baguette, chips and a coke. Granted I'm used to London prices but if I can get a hot meal and a drink for under a fiver I'll be happy. Same here, and I'm used to Brum prices. Under a fiver is damn good!

Doctor Who Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) I don't think I've ever looked forward to breakfast so much, it sounds brilliant from all of the comments on here. By the way absinthefairy88, it'd be great if you could post a link to the map on here, thanks in advance.

TheGoktor Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I'm assuming they have a vegetarian breakfast selection at the Hilton? Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodRedRoses1 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 For those wanting the map - http://www.rogueevent.co.uk/images/Birmingham-Met.jpg Thank you for this. Does anybody have any idea what rooms might be in use for Hub3? Looking @ the map, I'm guessing I might be able to sneak out to the loading dock to grab a smoke (if the dock area isn't busy that is).
