    The club are still doing the happy hour third off pricing at the food and drink kiosks 1:30 to 2:30.

    But they aren’t really advertising it, they don’t have any posters anywhere or make any fuss of it. Just one little understated line in the ‘what’s on’ update on the website.

    Don’t get me wrong it doesn’t make things ‘cheap’ as such but £2.50 for a pie rather than £3.75 is more reasonable and when you’ve two kids in tow it costs just under £13 for two pies, a hotdog and three bottles of pop rather than nearly £20, so it does make a big difference.

    I agree. I wasn't aware of it at all and when I paid for my drink I asked if they'd got the price right.

    The discount is welcome but if they publicised it they might get more people to arrive a bit early and spend a little more (i.e. have two drinks, one at the discounted rate rather than just the one at the normal price)

    Maybe they are ambivalent on people coming in or not. Nice bonus for those who manage to take advantage of it. My reduced cost pie was lovely.
