Revealed: Wimbledon hike their food and drink prices yet AGAIN – with fans set for a shock as a glass of Pimms rises to nearly £10… but at least one iconic snack is still affordable!

Wimbledon fans will be in for a shock on the first day of the legendary tournament, with food and drink prices once again rising – with an iconic glass of Pimms costing almost £10.

Visitors will be flocking to SW19 for the start of two weeks of Grand Slam tennis, and with this being the height of the grass court season, prices are high.

For those looking to quench their thirst, a pint of beer – tournament sponsor Stella Artois is likely to be the fortnight’s favourite – will set you back £8.50. That’s almost £1 more than last year’s relatively reasonable £7.55.

The price of a pint has risen by £2 in the past two years, while a Sipsmith’s gin and tonic has also risen to £9.80, the same price as Wimbledon favourite Pimms.

Wine is similarly priced, with unusual rosé, red and white wines available in cans for easy portability, along with non-alcoholic drinks including Kombucha – £3.20 – Frobishers juices for £4, and Heartease Farm’s sparkling presses in tins costing £3.

Gamblers can choose from a number of high-quality sweet and savoury dishes

The main events of the tournament begin on Monday morning and will run for the next two weeks.

For something a little more luxurious, the most expensive drink on the menu is a bottle of Lanson Le Rose Creation Brut champagne, priced at a whopping £95 – £40 more than the limited edition tournament bottle available in store.

Tournament sponsor Evian is on hand to supply the competition’s mineral water, with a 750ml bottle still costing £2.95.

Fans are strongly encouraged to take part in the competition’s new sustainability initiative, which allows visitors to refill unlimited mineral water at the French brand’s mineral water fountains for £5 per day.

The tournament’s qualifying rounds entered a mild crisis when the fuel stations at the National Tennis Center in Roehampton were labeled ‘undrinkable’ because the system was broken.

Free bottles of water were handed out to spectators during last week’s qualifying events, which was mocked by commentators on social media for not ‘getting the event’s sustainability efforts off to a good start.

Salads, sandwiches and pies are among the options available at the Tea Lawn Larder

Evian water bottles are available, but fans are encouraged to bring their own bottles to fill

There is an aptly named Billionaire’s Shortbread available for those looking to splurge during the event

Both vegans and meat eaters will find something to their liking at the tournament’s Sausage Grill station

One of the most expensive food options is a Greek-style chicken and halloumi wrap which retails for £14

No doubt hungry after a long day of court hopping in SW19, fans will want to pair their Pimms with a cup of equally recognizable Wimbledon fare, strawberries and cream.

A portion of the summer snack will cost punters £2.50, a price that has mercifully been fixed for a number of years.

There are also a range of hot snacks available, including Kerelan cauliflower, chickpea and onion bhaji patties and sausage rolls, priced at £6.50 and £4.90.

For fans looking for something a little more substantial, the competition will also be selling sausages from their designated sausage grill, with a Cumberland sausage on a brioche roll going for £7.90, the same price as a vegan option served with kimchi.

Greek-style wraps are also available, with the most expensive option costing £14 for a lunchtime option filled with chicken and halloumi.

Come teatime, fans gather for afternoon tea to round off a very British day out, but will have to fork out £9 for the full scone and clotted cream experience.

More affordably priced are a range of cakes including blueberry bakewell and Queen Victoria sponge, available from £3.95, along with an aptly named Billionaire’s Shortbread.

Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz will take to Centre Court as the highest number of Britons in the draw since 1999 prepares to play out the first round over the next two days.

Emma Raducanu will take the first round of Britain’s battle on the tournament’s finest court and will attempt to beat lucky loser Renata Zarazua after her opponent, 22nd-seeded Ekaterina Alexandrova, withdrew on Monday morning.
