drat01 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 In Wembley last year AT THE CARLING CUP FINAL THIS MARCH SMALL BAG OF CRISPS ~ £1.50 HOT DOG ~ £5 SMALL MARS BAR ~ 90p CHEESEBURGER ~ £6 ANY PUKKA PIE ~ £4.50 SMALL COKE ~ £2.20 LARGE COKE ~ £3.20 FISH AND CHIPS ~ £7 PINT OF BEER £3.50 PINT AND A PIE DEAL ~ £7.50 COFFEE ~ £2 TEA ~ £2 500ml BOTTLED WATER ~ £1.80 125ml GLASS OF RED/WHITE WINE ~ £4.00 PIE AND SOFT DRINK DEAL ~ £6.00 I suspect that prices as normal may be a slightly bit inflated but guess at that. Best bet for fast food etc is head towards the train station (NOT the one at the end of Wembley Way). Down Wembley way there is a McD's but it gets rammed. By the other station you can find various eating (!!) places We know someone who works at the ground so will try and get the updated "menu" and possibly a wine list :-) and will post it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Pie and a pint deal is better than expected, although you wouldn't dream of paying it anywhere else but a football ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted February 2, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted February 2, 2010 We will drink around Marylebone somwhere and then hop on the metropolitan line back to Wembley for a stroll down Wembley way before the game. I saw somewhere that you are allowed to drink outside on Wembley Way, can anyone confirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drat01 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 baker street weatherspoons for a 9am breakfast on the sunday! not sure on the sat night yet That's not a bad pub on match day plus the one over the road - often one we have a couple in before England matches and then the tube is pretty direct and quick to Wembley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you havent been to Wembley before you wont know just how difficult it is to even get in the pub to go to the toilet let alone get a drink and its always a car park job which in the FA cup in mild weather is great but feb maybe not. I'm paying the £10 because its ticket only, next to the ground, and by the sounds of it no problem getting served as you got buy tickets on the day.

sellyoakvilla Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 For those who can't get to the game, I've just heard that the club are showing the game in the Holte suite and Holte pub. The club will be charging £20 (twenty) for adults and £15 (fifteen) for children...and you get a scampi and chips or chicken and chips in a basket with it. Ridiculous prices, you may aswell stay at home if you can't make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
