the price of food is always overpriced at these events as they have a captive audience the people cannot leave and go to the local shops were it will be half the price of what these vendors charge
RIAT used to have a list of maximum prices agreed with vendors of food and drink and published in the Programme - does this not happen anymore? To be honest in the past the maximum allowed by RIAT was always the maximum a vendor with a brass neck wld have the nerve to charge anyway but at least it indicated these prices were being monitored - personally I always bring my own food and drink with me and I havent bothered with the over priced programme for years as the only thing I bought it for (the flying order) was normally disregarded after abt 1015hrs!
