Wimbledon fans can expect to pay more at the tills this summer, with food and drink prices rising once again at the prestigious Grand Slam in south-west London. Spectators arriving for the first two days of competition have been taken aback by the costs at various food outlets, making it an expensive trip to the English capital.
The cost of a pint has jumped noticeably, with draught beer now setting spectators back £8.85 for a Stella Artois – up 35p from last year – while a Guinness costs £8.45. Bottled beer has also risen by 30p across the board.
A glass of the traditional Wimbledon favourite, Pimm's, is priced at £12.25 this year – a 30p increase – and champagne lovers will have to dig even deeper.
A bottle of Lanson Le Rose Creation Brut is now £100.90, up by almost £4, while the most expensive option on offer, Lanson Le White Label Sec, comes in at £104.95.
Soft drinks haven't escaped the price hike either, with 330ml servings rising by around 15p.
A reusable 750ml water bottle is available for £5, but this year organisers are offering free refills for the duration of the day to help justify the cost.

Snacks and sweets have also seen a jump. Fans will have to pay £5 for a bag of Haribo Starmix, Tangfastics or Skittles — the three items were priced at £3.50 four years ago — marking a 42 per cent increase from 2021.
A packet of Minstrels, meanwhile, offers rare relief for wallets at £4.40, actually 20p cheaper than last year.
Jude's Ice Cream Tubs and Sticks are priced at £4.50, popcorn at £2.20, divine chocolate bars at £2.30 and cookies £3.15.
The iconic Wimbledon strawberries and cream will now cost £2.70, following a 20p increase.

The All England Club had previously frozen the price of strawberries at £2.50 per portion (around 10) since 2010, but the new cost marks the first price increase for the snack in 15 years.
The club sell around 140,000 punnets per year, meaning the new price will bring in an extra £28,000 and a total of £378,000.
For those after heartier fare, a sausage roll is priced at £5.10, a Cornish pasty at £6.80, and a sushi box at £15.10.

While prices remain high, they are still marginally lower than other major events.
Premier League Darts fans, for example, recently paid £9.25 for the cheapest pint at the final.

Emma Raducanu joins Jack Draper in questioning automated Wimbledon line calling
The two most vocal critics so far have been Britain's leading players, with Raducanu going even further than Jack Draper after feeling one call in particular, when a Sabalenka shot was ruled to have clipped the line, was wrong. Emma Raducanu has spoken about the trustworthiness of the newly introduced electronic line calling system at #Wimbledon 🗣 "It's kind of disappointing that the calls can be so wrong" 🎥❌ — BBC Sport (@BBCSport) July 4, 2025 'That call was for sure out,' said Raducanu after her intense 7-6 (6) 6-4 defeat by the world number one. 'It's kind of disappointing, the tournament here, that the calls can be so wrong, but for the most part they've been OK. I've had a few in my other matches, too, that have been very wrong. Hopefully they can fix that.' The technology has become standard across the tour, with all ATP Tour events and a lot of WTA ones no longer using line judges. Emma Raducanu, right, shakes hands after losing to Aryna Sabalenka (Adam Davy/PA) The same system operates at the Australian Open and the US Open but the French Open remains an outlier, so far eschewing any form of electronic system. Draper queried one serve from Marin Cilic during his second-round loss on Thursday, and he said: 'I don't think it's 100 per cent accurate, in all honesty. A couple of the ones today it showed a mark on the court. There's no way the chalk would have showed.' Wimbledon organisers have been contacted for comment.

Emma Raducanu joins Jack Draper in questioning automated Wimbledon line calling
Emma Raducanu has urged Wimbledon to improve electronic line calling after saying she was disappointed by the technology during her defeat against Aryna Sabalenka. A fully automated system has replaced human line judges – whose calls could be challenged using electronic reviews – for the first time at the Championships this year. The two most vocal critics so far have been Britain's leading players, with Raducanu going even further than Jack Draper after feeling one call in particular, when a Sabalenka shot was ruled to have clipped the line, was wrong. 'That call was for sure out,' said Raducanu after her intense 7-6 (6) 6-4 defeat by the world number one.

Djokovic confident for Wimbledon title tilt, Swiatek wary of Collins
LONDON, July 4 (Reuters) - Seven-times champion Novak Djokovic takes on Miomir Kecmanovic, while Poland's Iga Swiatek faces Danielle Collins as the third round of Wimbledon continues on Saturday. TOP MEN'S MATCH: MIOMIR KECMANOVIC V NOVAK DJOKOVIC Djokovic, since winning his last Grand Slam title at the U.S. Open in 2023, has had to endure a string of narrow misses in his bid to claim a record 25th major and move past Margaret Court at the top of the leaderboard. The former world number one has lost one Grand Slam final and three semi-finals since then, but his faith has not wavered and he served up a reminder of his prowess with a 6-3 6-2 6-0 demolition of Briton Dan Evans in the second round. "If I play like today, I feel like I have a very good chance against anybody, really, on the Centre Court of Wimbledon, a place where I maybe feel the most comfortable on any court," Djokovic told reporters after the win. "Rod Laver Arena and Wimbledon Centre Court are the two courts where I've done so well throughout my career. I felt great physically, mentally sharp. Game-wise, I'm playing as well as I can, really, on grass. So hopefully I can keep it up ... "The aspirations and objectives are very high, to go all the way." Djokovic should have little trouble when he takes on compatriot and Davis Cup teammate Kecmanovic in the third round, with the 38-year-old having won all three of their previous meetings, including one at the same stage of Wimbledon in 2022. TOP WOMEN'S MATCH: IGA SWIATEK V DANIELLE COLLINS Five-times Grand Slam champion Swiatek has been far from her brilliant best in recent months, but a run to the final of the Bad Homburg Open last month will have bolstered her belief as she looks to win her first grasscourt title. The Pole next faces former Australian Open finalist Danielle Collins, against whom she has a 7-2 head-to-head record, but the American emerged victorious when the two last met at the Italian Open in May. "(She's a) flat hitter, baseline player. Solid serve. Likes to be proactive, be aggressive," eighth seed Swiatek said of Collins after her 5-7 6-2 6-1 comeback victory over Caty McNally in the second round. Barbora Krejcikova limped through the opening two rounds after being taken to three sets by Caroline Dolehide and Alexandra Eala, raising questions over how the 17th seed will fare in her first real test of the tournament. The defending champion is up against American world number 10 Emma Navarro, who believes she has what it takes to defuse the threat posed by the Czech. "I think it would be a huge challenge, for sure. She's confident on this surface, and she knows she has what it takes to go all the way," Navarro said. "But from my end I feel like I have a lot of tools and the ability to sort of combat that."
