I'd expect that to come to £8 or so. The cost to them has to be less than £2.
Was it free to get in?

Bargain, those mince pies are from Lidl aren’t they.

Even being extremely generous with the prices I can't work out what those items cost to get to £17+. There must be one, if not two, bits missing!

That's appalling!

For that price do you get to keep the crockery and teapot?

Well we are in a proxy war with Russia. Expect prices to keep rising until they are defeated. That's a Patriotic £17.75 that is!

Outrageous!!

Probably me but I’m not sure I’d want crisps with a cuppa.

Djanogly Cafe, named after a rich donor not an artist says it all ..

Just nail or gaffer tape it to the wall, someone will soon offer you £3 million for it.

Good grief, but at the same time unsurprising.

It costs a lot to import those crisps from the North!

Are you sure you haven't just eaten one of the exhibits?

Hope you enjoyed the crisps from the best, most beautiful county in the UK!

But the price of entrance is free. Which is I think more important.

Still cheaper than the £4,71M 🍌

Makes retro greaseproof paper & a thermos flask look incredibly appealing!

I've lost all sense of what things should cost

I was at a services the other day, a KFC meal is apparently now £11. In my head that's a main course at a gastropub.
