Budget for Food

We got two coffees one morning at Cable Car Bakery, and the server gave us two free drink vouchers. She even said 'two drinks, two vouchers' which was useful, as previously we would have had to queue up and buy our drinks separately to get two!

Another tip - if you do want lunch, several places do meal deals which are enough for two adults. We did Colonel Hathi's Pizza deal which was a pizza, salad, a dessert and a drink, and it fed two of us.

If you're on a budget I totally recommend the bar menu at Billy Bob's. It's about €11.99 for a main course, drink and dessert for adults. Main course choices are chili (also a vegetarian chili option) in a baked potato with cheese sauce (I had this, it was yummy!) or 1/2 a chicken with BBQ sauce a fries (OH had this and really enjoyed it). The dessert is a brownie that comes in a packet, so it's handy to take away. Not spectacular food, but it was plentiful and tasty and we both enjoyed it (especially for the price!).

We loved Earl of Sandwich too. I think the sandwiches are €5.50, we found a sandwich each and a drink to share was plenty. Although, I think they do a meal deal as well.

And we also went to Annette's a couple of times. Again, we thought it was good value for about €19 for a main, dessert and drink. The portions are fairly big (or at least we thought so!).

We found if we filled up on breakfast in the hotel, we didn't really eat anything again until dinner. We just got some drinks and maybe a cake in the day, but didn't really have a proper lunch.

Definitely use the free drinks vouchers, the hot chocolate is great! And you don't need to buy anything when you redeem the voucher.

We do that too but shhhhh don't tell anyone

We also take crisps and snacks with us in our suitcase and do ourselves a little packed lunch (including the bread rolls) just incase breakfast doesn't quite get us through the day

Are you okay taking a few snacks into the park? We are taking the car so thought about crisps and snacks for the 5 days but I read no picnics on the parks! Is it just you can't take a big picnic bag but some crisps and a drink are okay?

I don't know if there are any rules as such, but yes we just put a few packets of crisps and nibbles in our rucksack with the rolls, they never said anything going through security
