Do you get tokens to get food for that?

Why would you pay in to watch someone BBQ?

Would be interested to hear from anyone who goes this evening.

Wouldn't mind paying in and paying for food in there if it's decent quality and not exorbitant.

Something different anway

Was gonna head in myself until I looked out the window. Take away it is

10 million for the city...and they are paying for the monorail. Also they have named one of the burgers the "Munster" burger so tis all good.

I would assume that it occurs around the same time every year, but usually in countries that have better weather.

I've been in. 15 you cover charge per adult for the weekend kids free. Something different. They seemed to be in a competition as they were all plating up salmon. Regular food stalls there too. Don't know when or if the BBQ stalls will be serving their food. No one knew! But twas good though

Did 15 get you something to eat?

Atrocious waste of money.

No it didn't. I took kids in and they enjoyed the day out. It's 10 per adult to go in once. 15 gets you a wristband to use again.

I’d love some bbq now .
Is it worth going in there?
Could go in for dinner :-)

If I was paying 15 in I would expect a voucher that I coud redeem at a stall. 15 in and then a minimum of a tenner once you're in there. For couples that's €50. €50 would get two nice maincourses and a beer and a wine in a lot of places in town. Am I being tight or is that a bit of a rip off?

You're not being tight but just imagine the people's park without the cover charge. There's also a massive amount of generators, fridges, lighting, security etc so I can see why it's needed to finance the event in some way.

Was there an entrance fee for the Food Truck festival that was there earlier in the year?

I thought he meant a charge for the punters not the vendors? I'm waiting to set up my 24/7 burrito/donought truck at the urban garden when the monorail comes to town!

dashoonage
