Those after a nice day out at Wimbledon will need to dig into their pockets, with pints costing £8.85, while a top-line bottle of wine, which isn’t even on the menu, comes in at £217.90. The All England Club opened the gates on Monday morning for the Championships, and punters will need to shell out if they want to enjoy a drink in the sunshine on a scorching opening day.
There are plenty of options around the grounds, from pints to Pimm’s and three-figure bottles of champagne, but they’re not cheap. Even Wimbledon’s iconic strawberries have been upped in price for the first time since 2010, now costing £2.70.
Stella Artois has its own bar on Henman Hill and is available in virtually every drinks venue at SW19. A pint of normal or unfiltered Stella costs £8.85, and a half pint is £4.45.
Those opting for a 0 per cent, non-alcoholic will shell out £7.95 for a pint and £3.95 for a half, and a limited edition chalice is on sale for £6. A bottle of gluten free beer comes in at £7.80.
Guinness, Kopparberg Crisp Apple, Camden Eazy IPA and Camden Pale Ale are all £8.45 for a pint. And there are bottled beers from £7.50 at the Walled Garden.
The iconic Pimm’s, which comes in a reusable cup, is £12.25, and spectators after a jug from the Pimm’s bar on the hill will need to fork out £36.
A glass of Uncommon Wine – ironically the most common wine available around the grounds – is £10.20 for red, white or rose. There are more options at the Tea Lawn bar, where the cheapest, 125ml glass will set fans back £6.60.
Sipsmith gin and tonics are also available, ranging from £10.20 to £15.50 depending on which bar you go to, the flavours on offer, or whether it’s a single or a double.
Soft drinks are all £2.75 to £4.20, and a Jude’s Chocolate Milkshake is £4.40.
The cheapest bottles of wine at the Walled Garden start at £33.95, while a full-sized bottle of Lanson champagne ranges from £96 to £104.95. At the Tea Lawn Bar, bottles are just under £50.
Ticketholders after something really fancy will want to head down by the Centenary Garden. There’s a champagne bar, where prices start at £19.25 for a glass or £96 for a bottle, and go up to £124.80 for Lanson Le Vintage Brut 2013.
And the top-line items are available at the Centenary Brasserie, which must be booked in advance with a £10 per person reservation fee, redeemed against a meal.
The prices aren’t advertised on a public menu, but in the restaurant, a bottle of Lanson Black Label Champagne costs an eye-watering £195.55, while the Lanson Rose Magnum is a staggering £217.90. Maybe save those for a special occasion.
