Not his biggest fan but he's called it right with that :devilish:
 
What do you guys who go to the festival do for food when you're there? I'm thinking of spending some of my winnings from yesterday on some club tickets for the Wednesday, however I can't bare the though of queuing for food with that amount of people

We get food in Cheltenham before walking up to the course. You don't really queue for food but you will get ripped off.

Id be driving down early in the morning so would probably just have something in the car before walking over to the course. Yeah, prices are horrendous, mate paid £9 for a steak sarnie yesterday - tough bit of steak between 2 thin slices of bread. Unbelieveable

I have breakfast at the hotel before. But I do also eat at the course. The que for pizza is horrendous. But The rest is all pretty plain sailing near the parade ring.
Prices aren't too bad, on a par with any other racecourse iv been to.

If I get down for it i'll give that a go. Cheers BC
 
I plan to eat at my hotel (booked a holiday inn and paid for breakfasts and dinners in advance in Bristol), get a train into Cheltenham and buy something small like a hot dog at the course.

Whilst I know it’ll be ridiculous prices like at Ascot and epsom, I also know if I’ve had an early winner, I won’t be able to resist the smell of something at the course.
 
There's a Mac and Cheese truck either near the paddock or outside the Guinness Village that is pretty decent and you get a fair size portion. Pizza's are also good but like Scooby says prepare to queue - if you went after a race you'd be lucky to get back for the next race!

In terms of breakfasts in town - everywhere will be busy but as long as you're prepared to squeeze in you'll be fine :encouragement:

Now that is a point.

I did see the Mac and Cheese truck yesterday Jono but went for the BBQ truck instead

Anyone choosing mac and cheese over a pulled pork sandwich needs to assess their life choices.
