Sausageandciderfest Avis 

Sorry but can’t post a zero on here but that’s what it should be

We paid for tickets for this event in derby this year at a considerable cost
My partner inadvertently put the wrong email address in so no tickets
14 emails later to the info address for this site plus the company who takes the money
Guess what

No further forward!!!

They have taken the money (no surprise there)

But no one has the decency to respond by email (the correct email) or to phone us to sort it out

We have supplied name, address bank card details email address bank transfer details

NOTHING BACK

Shameful on a company to not respond to their customers who do make a mistake

Sausage and cider festival we welcome your shameful response

I was quite excited about hearing that there was a sausage and cider festival at The Kings Hall in Stoke on Trent. I love cider and I love sausages. I thought £13.75 was a bit steep but going off other beer and cider festivals I have been to I thought it would include a comparative glass or ‘free’ pint. It didn’t!!!!!

It did however provide you with the opportunity to purchase cider at £6 a pint yes £6 a pint and a sausage in a cheap roll for £6 yes another £6 for a sausage

I can not recommend as it was way too expensive for what and how the organisers supplied and presented the cider and sausages to me

The music was ok but then it would be after few pints of cider

What surprised was that it was card only, they did not accept cash at all

There was a serious lack of seating probably it was to allow the organisers the opportunity to cram in any many folk as they did. It was heaving!!

I enjoyed the session as I went with a friend

I booked months and months ago early bird tickets for the Sausage and Cider festival at £10.00 per person , party of 6- 1 of which could not attend but still £60 spent.
We were excited to be attending , looking forward as we thought to sampling quite a few ciders and different types of sausages.
On walking in we found that there were no samples available , a sausage in a roll that was too small was £6 each and the ciders were averaging £3.00 a half pint and £6.00 a pint!! I asked at the front door as to what was I actually for £10.00 a head ?
Was advised that it covered the band and eating competitions...
The band were not good and after 2 songs ,
and £30 on hotdogs and £17.00 on drinks , 2 of these being soft drinks. Total of £107.00 spent for 5 people and we left after an hour.
We feel like this event was mis-sold and that to not be able to sample the sausages and drink prior to choosing which ones to pay for was very poor considering the huge mark up being charged for every purchase made.
Never attending again - once stung n all that

Avoid. Went with friends but left shortly after arriving. Overpriced cider (£6 a pint) and a burnt sausage (also £6). The music was awful, the equaliser or something must have been off and it kept going from very quiet to very loud. There was also not enough chairs. Tried contacting the event three different ways but they haven’t replied.

Very disappointing after paying £15 entrance per person. Then one sausage at £6 per sausage and drinks at £6 per drink. The sausages were greasy and the food contest was pretty poor. Shan't be going again

Glad I read the reviews...sounds like the Oktoberfest rip offs over here..money well saved..thanks

Had a really great time with my family when we went! Big selection of ciders available and the sausage was hard to beat! Some really fun entertainment throughout the day, including the chilli eating competition. Would definitely go again the next time it’s in town!

I had already bought tickets to this when I decided to look at the reviews and then started to worry because of the amount of single star reviews about.....All I can say is, I'm not sure what else they expected? Have they ever been to a festival? Did they expect luxury?

I went to the Blackpool event in a party of 4 and we had an absolute blast. Plenty of different ciders (around 17 different ones) and sausages (at least 12), plus some other drinks. The room was full of tables and chairs, however we got there about 45 minutes late so these were all taken. Didn't matter because the entertainment (Parklife) were awesome and we didn't want to sit down at all!

Drinks work out at just under £5 and sausages at about 40p more, but people need to have realistic expectations of these events and understand that these prices are not excessive for an event with a monopoly on your custom - I remember paying £30 for 2 beers and a pizza at Wembley!

If you're sitting on the fence on whether or not to go.....just go. Have an ace time and get merry and fat! Don't be a miserable little sausage like the 1 star reviewers...

ps. I also see people moaning about the 2 and a half token for the sausage price and moaning that they had to buy 2 at a time.....The tokens actually snap in half - of course you'd know this if you asked any one of the staff instead of just hating life!

Brilliant evening with great bands, great food and great drinks. Would certainly go again.

Only downside was getting in the venue. Not enough people scanning tickets and poor queuing system. Apart from that it was a brilliant event.

Amazing. Loved it x

Could barely walk after 6 pints of delicious rhubarb cider. Had a nice curry bratwurst hot dog to like the stomach that was lovely. Roll on next time.

Terrible , left after one cider and one sausage . Paid £6 for 1 can of brothers cider that you can get in tesco . We got there an hour after opening and one of 3 stalls had sold out of their cider !! Blackpool 2022 . Forced hype over a eating contest that was really underwhelming. No one could genuinely come out and have a smile on their face after having their pants down for entry fee + 30 quid for 2 sausages on too small of a bun and 2 generic ciders

The token system is a bad idea - it is so the owners of the company can make as much money off of us as possible. We just wanted one more pint each but had no token left out, so instead of being able to buy one pint we would've had to buy 10 more tokens for £30. It works out about £5 a pint and £6 for a sausage - which is a bit exoesnive to spend the whole time there. We ended up leaving after 1 and a half/2 hrs as there was not enough seating and wanted to go and sit down somewhere. I probabaly wouldn't return unless you can just pay in cash for the things you wanted on the day.

Absolutely buzzing to go to the festive again. Its been way to long and something decent to look forward too.

Great evening of entertainment. Good food, drink and the bands were brilliant. Will definitely go again

Great evening. Loved the sausages and washed down with plenty of cider. Great music to add to the atmosphere

We had a brilliant time at sausage and cider fest colchester. Music was great.

One of the best local nights you can go to

Great fun, loads of ciders to try, choice of sausages, great music, a fun night out.
