Wimbeldon has been subsidizing its strawberry prices for the last decade

Wimbeldon has recently revealed that it has been subsidizing strawberries for one of the traditional treats of the event over the last decade. A bowl of strawberries and cream, a traditional part of a day at the championships, has remained at £2.50 for the last seven years.

There have been fears that the cost of fruit will increase after Britain leaves the EU, with some studies suggesting the price of soft fruit could increase by as much as 50 percent.

But Anthony Davies, head of food and beverage, at AELTC, said the club's caterers, Compass Group, will continue to subsidise the cost of strawberries to make sure it was affordable for all.

"We do help subsidise the strawberry offer in order to make it more accessible for our guests "Anthony Davies said.

"Food price inflation at this time is running higher than it has in previous years, but it’s something we saw coming down the line. For us it’s about making the right choices so our guests have the best experience."
