With the prices I saw them at, they worked out slightly more expensive per litre than the cans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewie Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) Do any of the shops on site sell large tonic bottles or should I bring it in from home? Edited June 13, 2017 by Chewie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course lemonade is a very reasonable alternative for myself, as I have the palate of a true ignoramus and am very lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DareToDibble Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) Luckily get mine free from work so I probably go a bit overboard... 24 cans of Lager 4 x 70cl Rum 3 x 70cl Vodka I buy really cheap coke/lemonade and pre-mix my drinks at home so they're ready to drink when I get there. Weighs a bloody tonne on my back but always thankful for it when I get there. A bit easier this year as I have 2 friends driving separately on the Thursday so I can give some stuff to them in return for setting their tent up on the Wednesday.

Seldom Seen Kid Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Last year I took 48 cans of prosecco, a litre of Jack Daniels and around half a litre of sloe gin and the same of rum. This year I shall be taking similar amounts I think, although I may go for something else rather than the sloe gin, and I have a bottle of Jura in the stash already.

(plus i got a free speaker with them shapped like a Koppaberg can!). They sold out super quick last year, so not surprised this year, was no different. I went to tesco for them on the day they got announced! Apparently Morrison's are now doing Mixed Fruit Kegs.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I won't purchase any or just the one bottle. There are taps on site. I'm just off on the booze run now. Hopefully Tesco will have all I want and I can get in and out without being distracted into buying yummy but unnecessary, space taking, weight adding extras.

koj Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 24 cans of Guinness Original (selling them off in Sainsbury's last week for 50p per can!) - nothing else. We've taken bottled water in the past but it weighs too much given you can get it for free on site. Will take couple of empty 2 & 5 litre bottles and kids have metal bottles to refill. Plus some of those tiny squeezy squash things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrZigster Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Ridiculous this but I'm going to have to buy some plastic bottles of cheap water just so I have something to decant my booze into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny_H22 Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Anyone know who currently has the best beer/cider deals on? Doesn't have to be fancy, I just want the best quantity for my buck. Also going to take a bottle of gin mixed with tonic and a load of lines. And maybe white rum and ginger ale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumblestripe Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 1 bot gin 1 bot rum (both yet to be purchased probably Aldi gin though but) Mixers and beer available on site and too heavy to carry especially as I am eschewing my trolley this year.

Flying_Hellfish Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 5 bottles of liquor between 2 of us (i.e. 1 per day), topping up with cider from the bars as-and-when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girlwiththemostcake Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Between 4 of us we're taking 260 330ml cans of various beers, two bottles of spiced rum rum (to be drunk straight), 2 litres of gin and some mini cans of Fevertree Mediterranean tonic (as my son is snobby about his tonic).

plaskins Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Today I have bought: 18 x 440ml cans of Stella 12 x 440 cans of Old Speckled Hen 70cl of Bacardi Oakheart Still to buy some mixer for the rum and considering a bottle of Jager and energy drinks, probably Monster, to share as I have some of these plastic glasses: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrZigster Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 So, my previously mentioned trip to Tosco (sic) on the booze run went: 1 x ltr Courvoisier V.S. (£9 off) .7 x ltr Tosco Armagnac. .75 x ltr good Tosco Port. 1 x 3 ltr Wyld Wood boxed zoider. (Edit: 1 x Finest white of some description (devoured whilst posting this). That's pretty much along the lines of what I went there for. I didn't get too distracted. Well. I say that. I stood there for way too long like a weirdo staring at the brandy options. And staring at mineral water in plastic bottles. I still have nothing to decant these glass bottled liquids into. But I also got distracted by some traditionally yummy but unnecessary space taking, weight adding extras: A pack of 6 x 380ml of Orange Lucozade A 10 x 200ml pack of Capri Sun All told that's about 9kg of liquid by my (admittedly drunk right now) calculations. Plus a six pack of Wotsits and similar for a new flavour of Mini Cheddars I can do without taking the nice for the waking up in the tent, sugary breakfast juice extras stuff right? That's about 4kg right there. Can you get those liquids on site for the same(ish) price? I used to bring a massive bottle of Coca Cola (TM) as a mixer but no more. You can get that on site. I might just test the Courvoisier (or however it's spelt) right now. Just to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
