When the lad was younger he used to have a Coke and a hot dog but he doesn't want anything anymore apart from a bag of sweets we take ourselves. I think of the CBS the same as I think of going to the cinema. Avoid the rip-off F&B. On a side note, the entertainment usually isn't as good either.

That’s not absurd at all…?

Pints are £5+ most places. A pie for £5 isn’t absurd.

That's what I was thinking. I'd say minimum £6 is pretty standard for pints at events now, and even a lot of pubs are charging £5. £4 or so for a pie doesn't seem excessive. I think the bigger issue is, as others have alluded to, the insane rate of inflation over the last few years. I think it's taking a while for people to get used to it because it happened so fast.

And most peoples salaries , pensions, savings have completely lost ground against the increases in prices.
