Wimbledon Fans Astonished as Food and Drink Prices Soar, Pints Hit All-Time High, and Skittles Cost £4.20
Published 2 years ago on Jul 08, 2023

With an estimated 36,000 fans expected on the first day alone and a total of 500,000 visitors over the two-week tennis extravaganza, many attendees were taken aback by the increased costs, except for one beloved tradition.

This year, a pint of beer ranges between £7.20 and £7.55, representing a substantial hike compared to 2022. Just twelve months ago, a pint of beer was priced at £6.10 to £6.50, meaning fans are now paying over £1 more per pint.

The most expensive lager available at this year's Wimbledon is Stella Artois at £7.55, while Guinness, Camden beers, and Orchard Pig cider cost £7.20 per pint. Even a 330ml bottle of beer or cider sets punters back £6.80. For those with a taste for Champagne, a bottle of Lanson costs between £87 and £95.10.

Canned wine and pre-mixed G&T are also steeply priced at £9.70. A glass of Pimm's, a summer favorite, will set you back just under a tenner (£9.70), and if you prefer it in a reusable cup, the price increases to £11.20. Those wanting to indulge in a pitcher of Pimm's to enjoy while watching tennis stars like Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic can expect to pay over £30.
