The cost of a food and drink at the Cheltenham Festival has become an annual talking point and this year's prices at the Greatest Show on Turf have left punters fuming
The cost of Guinness has been a hot topic every year at the Gloucestershire event, and this year is no different. It's estimated that around 220,000 pints of the dark drink will be enjoyed over the next four days.
Even though the price of the Irish favourite isn't a surprise, some have been left upset. While some in attendance are happy to pay the high price, others insist they won't be partaking. "Poor from Cheltenham," wrote another critic in response to a video of the soggy track conditions in Gloucestershire. "For the price of a pint of Guinness and a burger they could have put a roof over the track."
Racegoers wanting lager instead will find that priced at £7. The priciest item on the menu is a bottle of Moet champagne, which will set you back a cool £110. Bottles of water are going for £2.40.
