I thought Darkstar Hop Head was on sale as well?

When this broke 2 or 3 weeks back, Attila said the concourse signs didn't have Darkstar on because they didn't have the logo. But, to my eyes anyway, it was clear that the signs were finished - there was no space to add anything else on, including the other drinks that are supposed to be available such as a proper cider (Symonds, I think, was quoted) and Guinness, possibly others.

Oh yeah, I remember now. Thanks.

Dissapointment.

I think I paid £4.80 for just under a pint of lager at Wembley last week (had to escort my wife to TT - not by choice) and paid £7.00 for a pint of best and a pint of soda and lime at Tottingham Monaor yesterday lunchtime so the prices look pretty competitive. Hope they have extra hot chilli sauce to add to the curries!

To clarify, and I hope my understanding of unreal is as stated by Sheebo, ie fantastic, at £3.50 beautiful pastry and not a shred of fat in the tender meat filling - look forward to the next one !

Prices are pretty fair I think. Coke and chocolate bars are ridiculous everywhere these days, even news agents knock out Mars bars for over 60p now.

The one disappointment is the price of noodles and curry. Those dishes are quite cheap to make and easy to prepare, I'd say £5 is a bit closer to being reasonable. Agree about the tea as well, surely that should be more like £1 (and even that's taking the piss)

Pies were fantastic. Quality filling and very substantial.
Real ale not included in the 'pie and a pint' deal. Odd!!
The Harveys was ok.
My mates had the Thai curry, and said it was good. It looked good. I'll be trying that.
There were forks.
Personally, I'm pleased there's no chips, they would stink the place out.
Oh yeah, and the rest of the place is ok!!!!!

Don`t understand why Harvey`s was not allowed to be included in the meal deal, considering it is the same price as Fosters and cheaper than the other two options.

Presumably it's related to the other beers being provided by the main supplier, whereas Harveys is bought in as a 'special'. It will confuse many though.

That's really f***ing annoying that Harveys and a pie will cost more than a pie and any other drink. If there were a drinkable lager in that list I might be tempted to go with that to accompany my pie but alas the good fizzy stuff is not available on the concourses.

Still, the fact there's Harveys at all is something to be grateful for really

And to answer the original question I think the prices are okay for a football ground.
