‘How much was the deposit?’ – Wimbledon fans reveal eye-watering cost of pint and food including ‘night out chicken’
INTERNET users have been left staggered after seeing the prices tennis fans are having to pay for food and drink at Wimbledon.
Although most commonly associated with Pimm’s and strawberries and cream, it’s the All England Club’s chicken and chips and pints of lager that have got people talking.
Shared by the Twitter account Sport Scran, a tray of chicken and chips costing £11 was revealed.
Accompanied by a side of coleslaw, the dish left social media users feeling underwhelmed.
One joked: “How much was the deposit?”
A second fumed: “Robbery.”

While KFC even chimed in: “Well that’s ruined my day.”
Another tennis fan shared a snap of their pint, revealing that they paid £7.10.

There have been plenty of home successes too, with Katie Boulter, Cameron Norrie, Heather Watson and Liam Broady all set to fly the British flag in round three.
Fans have also enjoyed the Nick Kyrgios show, with the Aussie set to battle Stefanos Tsitsipas on Saturday after his fiery five-set victory over Paul Jubb and yesterday’s trouncing of Queen’s finalist Filip Krajinovic.
