Which is what I'm doing. I'll be saving the beer for when I get back. If we make the Final I might push the boat out and have a pint at Wembley

Paid about 5.50 a pint on Sunday for a nice drop of hobgoblin.
Food options are decent-ish and around the £6-7 area. The fish & chips is a small portion - more like a couple of gujons but tastes ok. Most of the the food options are edible. Hot dog is ok, pizza is pizza (never eaten it at Wembley) the but the burger is very average. Some outlets are card only.
As for popcorn and pick & mix.....the less said the better.
The staff are very friendly but 99% of them are pretty inept.

I saw this and got all excited. Of course! Cartons. Maybe I can't take a flask or a reusable water bottle into the amex, but I had forgotten about cartons! I'll be taking them with me from now on... Then I checked the prohibited items list and saw cartons are banned, too.

Went through the Outlets Shopping Centre and stopped at Frankie & Benny's but their menu was very limited and what I didnt realise was that the prices displayed didnt include VAT which they added on the bill. You live and learn but I doubt if I will ever go to Wembley again.

It's illlegal for a non business-to-business retailer like a restaurant to display VAT exclusive prices. They do split it out on the bill summary but certainly not the menus.
Having taken the kids to Frankie and Benny's a few times I have never once been to one that had the prices in the menu exclusive of VAT.

Try Capri Sun. It is not a bottle nor a carton and does not currently transgress any of Barber's petty rules and regulations (although as soon as he reads this I'm sure he'll come up with something!!)

I bought a cheeseburger from one of the stalls outside - cost £7 but it was bloody lovely !!

Didn't realise that Piglets were doing Wembley pies too now.

Fancied a beer at Wembley, then saw it was Budweiser, so gave it a miss as it doesn't really count as beer/lager.
The money saved helped pay for my wife's £11.50 250 ml glass of Primitivo in Hampstead on Sunday ( and no, it wasn't even organic)
Expensive, but an antidote to having to visit Ikea Wembley in a screaming rush in between the Sunday kickoff and full-time ( no, didn't realise there was extra time as couldn't be bothered to check the score)
