Food & Beverage: The Aramark Era begins

[rob666]

Now they used to have a lovely little bar down there...one of my first ever half pint plastic beer bottles of lager.
Horrible and expensive...and she insisted on a pint as well.

Hot dog flask. Had to google that. What a brilliant idea

 

[rob666]

Gets a gag mention on here every few months.
Goes with the express parking posh picnic, and decent beer in real glasses, school of thinking.

Pleasantly surprised by the food in the rollercoaster restaurant today, really good food tonight! Fantastic staff too.

Good to hear! Think we might try in when we go in September!

I still can't get over that a hotdog costs £9 it's got to the point of bugging me now

 

[rob666]

So a nice flask with five hot dogs and onions in it, combined with a small bag of warbies finger rolls is now worth around fifty quid all in.


...The bootlegging begins.

 

[blackholes crow]

Takes in a small disposable BBQ to under cut all the food outlets
Hotdog with onions £5
Burger £10
Drinks free (it's the lake water bottled)

Don't worry, it's £9.50 and next season will be over £10.

Rollover are really rolling people over with those prices

Well the names in there branding

Remember the towers #pizzaboxgate where towers were absolutely clowned on for the state of that breakfast in a takeaway pizza box, can we get the £9.50 rollover hotdog trending, not that it'll change anything but any place charging that should get shamed for it.

They were around thirty quid at the recent american football match at Wembley, weren't they?
But yes overall, a fiver would be a rip off price for what you get, so £9:50 is double extortion.
You could actually buy a decent flask, a tin of hot dogs, an onion and a bag of Warbies finger teacakes for that money.

...and I already have.

Yeah I was going to say, £9 is cheap compared to prices at London gigs/sports venues where it would get you a box of popcorn.

I always think Footy Scran is a good comparator for this kind of thing. Same kind of area - captive audience and shameless drive to profit. And football ground hot dogs generally look better than a Rollover for almost a tenner.

Not a hot dog but look at this food mountain compared to the AT chicken and chips offerings:

Burgers (and a few fries that cost pennies) are up to £18 now, surely this is similarly offensive. £21 with a drink.

Really annoying they took away the option to buy individual items too. We'd begrudgingly buy a couple of burgers for £10 each but now you HAVE to buy the meal so minimum £36.

"I'm not paying that much for Burger Kitchen 1" etc.

 

[Tom]

Believe at the new caravans you can get burgers on their own....for £14.

A rollover hotdog was £6 at Anfield when I went to the Taylor Swift gig this week. Still annoyed they weren't selling my usual sausage roll

 

[rob666]

Back in the day, singing "Sex and drugs and sausage rolls" on the way back from the pie shop to the sixth form was all the rage thanks to Mr Dury.
They used to be four for a quid, and they were bloody huge.

Back on topic swiftly, how are the Eastern express kebabs this year.
The queue was just too long on my visit this year.
