We try to visit this once a year and this weekend it was on. Normally we would drive over there on a Saturday when lots of events are on. It was too hot to do so on Saturday so we went Sunday.
Although it is free to the public, it really doesn't cater much for them. It used to be a huge event but now, tiny. It really is geared around the carriage driving.
Anyhow, getting there for 11:15, we decided to have a bacon butty as we were both hungry - no bacon. Plenty of burgers but we don't eat them. You would have thought plenty of burgers left should be telling them something!
That was it on the eating front, other than pancakes or donuts and even he was clearing up to leave. We found a bouncy castle stall who were selling hot pork rolls, the pork in a slow cooker:( My instinct was to not have one but hunger prevailed. Moist but absolutely tasteless, neither of us finished it.
Okay we thought, lets console ourselves with an ice cream, nope, it was shut. When it did eventually open, it was only to let air in so they could clean up ready for leaving. There was a gin stall but at £6.99 for one shot, no thank you.
The event was open for quite a few more hours so we were not impressed and think we may not bother again. We were so cheesed off we came home.
That sounds extremely disappointing. You can't be the only folks to have felt like that.

I doubt we were. Last year we took sandwiches but it was again too hot for Ruby for us to stay and eat them.
DeleteReally doesn't sound like they want visitors, does it?!
ReplyDeleteNot anymore. Guess the competitors must cater for themselves.
DeleteSuch a shame, bitterly disappointing.
ReplyDeleteIt was. I think we were there no more than an hour.
