Wimbledon 2025 prices: Staggering price hikes on Pimms, pints and strawberries & cream

Wimbledon is back at the All England Lawn Tennis Club in south west London – and the prices have been hiked from last year.

Wimbledon is famous for world-class tennis, but almost as much for its other traditions: strawberries and cream and Pimms and lemonade enjoyed on the grassy bank known as Henman Hill, or Murray Mount.

Those looking to do so this year will need a sun hat, with temperatures rocketing to a sweltering 33 degrees on the opening day, but they will also need deep pockets. That’s because food and drink prices have jumped from 2024, with inflation biting.

A pint of Stella Artois was £7.55 in 2023, £8.50 in 2024 and now costs a staggering £8.85. And your first pint of the day will have an extra £1 charge on top for the reusable cup. That fee can be recouped once it's returned to the bar, but organisers hope spectators will opt to give it to a charity point around the site instead so the money goes to the Wimbledon Foundation.

The other pints on offer at the Walled Garden Bar, by Court One and Henman Hill, are Koppaberg apple cider, Camden Pale Ale, Camden Easy IPA and Guinness, all of which will set you back £8.45. A 330ml bottle of Stella is £7.80 – 30p more than last year – while the non-alcoholic version is £6.90 and a bottle of Corona costs £7.50.

Meanwhile, a Pimms is £12.25, having been £11.95 last year. A can of Sipsmith gin and tonic is a jaw-dropping £10.20, while one from the bar is £11.05 – 45p dearer than last year – with a double £15.50.

For those with a more expensive taste, a bottle of Lanson Le Black Creation Brut Champagne is £96 – up from £92.30 in 2024 – and a 20cl glass is £26.55. The rosé version is even more expensive, at £100.90 for a bottle and £29.85 for a glass.

Those looking for non-alcoholic drinks will find that a can of Coke or Sprite is £2.75, a 250ml bottle of juice is £4.20 and a large 750ml bottle of Evian water is £5, although they can be refilled for free from then on, with water fountains widely available. A cup of tea is £2.95, an Americano coffee £3.50, while a latte, cappuccino or flat white comes in at £4.15.

Even the famed strawberries and cream, which have held steady at £2.50 for some time, have increased in price slightly to £2.70.

Unsurprisingly, the food has all increased in price, in line with the supermarket shelves. Chicken or celeriac shawarma, with fries or a wrap, are now £13, up from £12.40 last year, while a fish finger sandwich is now £13.85, having been £13.30 in 2024. A portion of fries has gone from £5 to £5.20, or £6 to £6.50 if you want truffle mayonnaise with them.

At the Tea Lawn Larder, under Centre Court, a Cornish pasty or an onion bhaji pasty costs £6.80 and a sausage roll £5.10. Pre-packaged sandwiches start at £4.95 and salads from £7.50.

The Wimbledon version of a supermarket meal deal is £15.25 and lets you get a sandwich, snack (strawberries, crisps or popcorn) and drink (water or juice).

At Cafe Pergola, a fancier sit-down restaurant, you can eat roasted aubergine with pumpkin seed brittle and roasted tomato compote for £19.90, or baked sea bass with pea and mint for £21.65. A bacon roll or an egg and mushroom version are both £9.20.

Ice cream is £4.50 per tub, while packets of sweets begin at £3.50 each.

The Wimbledon shop continues the theme, with tourists looking for souvenirs piling in to be parted with their cash. The clothing is pretty pricey: cap (£35), zip-up jacket (£120), padded jacket (£110), t-shirt (£45), tie (£95), one pair of socks (£14), sweat band (£10) and three hair scrunchies (£8).

A Wimbledon blanket is a staggering £110, a tote bag £195, a mug £19, water bottle £30, umbrella £59 and a keyring is £10.
