Inflation may be driving up food prices, but at Wimbledon, sports fans are set to still pay just £2.50 for a punnet of the delicious fruit (with cream). For the last 13 years, strawberries and cream have remained at £2.50 for visitors to the world’s oldest tennis championships.
The number of strawberries - ten per punnet - has not changed either. With servings not weighed and a slightly late harvest producing bigger and sweeter fruit than usual, spectators will likely get more strawberries for the same price compared to previous years.
Perdita Sedov, the food and drink director for the All England Lawn Tennis Club: “When you come to Wimbledon, everyone wants their strawberries and cream, so we haven’t changed that. I’m really pleased to be able to say our strawberries and cream remain the same this year at £2.50 and have done since 2010.”
