We are going on Saturday and will buy our food and drinks there - there is Subway (as has already been mentioned), plus lots of other food outlets.  It's not cheap, but it's only one day!  We prefer to keep all our carrying capacity for brochures and accessory shopping!!

Hi all,

It is such a shame a lot of us seem to be going on Saturday and I agree with the post above it would be nice to have a stall/area where we could all meet and have a cup of coffee...It is only once a year afterall...

Anyway if anybody is interested I will be the one walking round with huge smiles on my face walking round with a miserable OH and his friend... lol... miserable cos his wallet might just have to take a few hits....

Hope you all have a good time there... I will....

I'm gonna be takin my bright pink trolley with us..so i dont end up buyin another one while i'm there...

Gonna put our lunches in it and once eaten.. we'll have some room for bits n bobs we buy :-)

We ate there last year..and thought it was a right rip off...

We just got back too. i already said something on another post. I will repeat.

It is better to eat out in the atrium sooner than in the actual halls. I had a large chicken and sweetcorn baguette £2.95 and a cup of Tea £1. I dont think thats a rip off. 

I never normally take food with me to shows.

I prefer to just pay extra on the day, rather than lug food around.

I'm normally very relaxed when it comes to paying for the occasion.

I rather stupidly, just pay the going rate.

However, lasts years show put me right off this idea!

I just could not believe how much they wanted for complete tosh.

I'm willing to pay up to £5 for a "snack" and a drink.

When a beef baguette and drink comes to £7.50, you really have to question your gullibility.

This year we decided to take our own, and what a good idea it was.

No queueing, better choice and better food.

Yes we had to carry a bag, but we could have checked it in.

But since we had to carry all the brochures anyway, it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be.

We had a great picnic, and didn't get the bad taste in the back of my mouth that i had just had my pants pulled down!

If Mcdees can do a big mac meal/baguette meal for around £3.50, then anything dearer is just a rip off.

I used to think that taking your own food was a bit sad. But there is a limit, and the NEC reached mine!!!

We may see you there on Saturday.

Mr UM

 looks like we could do our own mini meet here. may be if we all wore a yellow cornation on our left lapel we would notice each other..lol

      see you there..

We go to the caravan show every year & always take a sandwich to snack on & something to drink with us. You can step outside the show area into the main part of the building & there are seats there you can use, otherwise you'll not find anywhere to sit in the show unless you're in the CC or sit in a caravan.

I won't pay their food prices on principle.
