Sausageandciderfest Recensioni 

We arrived at 5pm to find no actual/real cider in the main bars apart from various disgusting non apple (passion fruit - lime and strawberry, etc😩 ) The queue for the small craft cider was around the block - various members of our party queued for over an hour for very average sausages (Luke warm and small) and good Churros - music was generally okay for what it was (primarily cover bands) - We could have gone to a proper music festival (and do) - the only real attraction here was the concept of good cider and sausages which as outlined was not available

We went to the Cambridge festival last weekend for our first ever time and had such an amazing day - I was so apprehensive because of the bad reviews but I needn’t have worried. I think these events are all what you make of it - ciders £6ish a pint which personally I think is expected for an event like this, no different to any other festival! The tributes were great, if you are going I would recommend bringing chairs or a picnic blanket and something to shade you if it’s hot.

Food was, again, priced as you would expect for something like this. Chubbies were great with their sausage & chips boxes for £10, definitely felt worth the money! Lots of non-sausage and non-cider options around. There were loads of toilets so no need to queue and other than a lack of toilet paper towards the end, I can’t complain about them!

All in all a really fun day out, it’s only going to be as good as you make it! Will be going next year for sure :)

Not impressed at ALL.
All the ciders were nice but very average with lots of the same flavours available throughout the all of the stalls. Nothing artisan available. All pints costing £6 minimum.
The generic bars were ridiculous, overstaffed, making you walk round and round and round in circles to get to the front. £16.50 for 2 small red wines and a can of pop. No still water available at one point (there were a few crates on show, but they were only for the staff) although I did get a bottle from one of the cider stands. Prosecco was being served in small plastic bowls full to the brim, a little flat & warm due to it all being pre poured. This cost £14.
I only had one hot dog which was £6.50. It was served in a very small (half the size of the sausage) cheap white roll which I thought was a bit basic. The sausage itself was 'alright'... Nothing special.
No shade to sit in, nowhere to shelter from the rain either unless you used the silent disco.....Silent disco... Lol.
There were two stalls only. One selling practical stuff like fans and hats and glow sticks and another tiny one selling kids clothes. So unfortunately the only thing to do was walk round in circles all day.
There were lots of loos so no queuing which was great and they were kept clean.
The tribute bands were good but not sure if the stage needed to be that big for the small amount of people there. I feel the money would have been better spent on two/three separate more intimate areas.
The layout was also just your generic boring circle adding to the goldfish bowl effect.
We decided that we would go to the shop to get a couple of things I needed for something to do but we were told we could not come back in once we had left. This is not OK. What if the things I needed were medication or tampons? We decided to leave at that point.

£35 tickets, £80 food drinks, £25 travel costs. Total £140.

I've been to free events better than this where you can come and go as you please.. Also improve the cider and the sausages!

Do not be put off by all the negative reviews.
We went to Hemel yesterday and had a bloody great day out! The music was great, lots of food and drinks on offer and reasonably priced.
Everything was spotless and no queues for the loos!
The kids loved the kids tent and silent disco.
Next year we are having an adults only day so we can really enjoy it!

Resonable value for money for the day featuring the concert and the bands that were performing (I would not say good value) but the vending side was attrocious, minimum package for a drink £36 gives you six drinks of various ciders or larger/beer + £3 for a cup to drink it out of. If you want one beer because of driving forget it. The food was even worse, Fish and Chips Med Portion £15, Saugsage hot dog with relish £9, Hamburger £10 with chips £14, Garlic Bread 5 small slices £5 absolute disgrace. I could name venders who should be ashamed of themselves for just trying to rip people off. Never again. Explotation at it worse

3rd time we have been now, 1st being when it first started and tbh, it's only slightly better than a free event you typically have in your local town.

* Overpriced food. Never thought I'd regard a HotDog for £10 as a bargain
* £12 for a chinese that was basically egg noodles with too much curry powder
* Ice Cream man seemed like decent value but then you realised they'd shrunk everything
* No Drinks available at any stall
* Too Expensive, cost over £100 for 2 Adults and 2 Children
* Jurassic Theme was basically one small tent with some dinosaur puppets in there. Where was the big song and dance about it? Marketing made you think it was going to be a dinosaur extravaganza
* Not really a family festival anymore. Thankfully my kids are older now.
* Low key, very low key

The only saving grace was the 2nd area which at least had some pumping music with a Black Keys tribute and Rage Against the Machine.

When we first went and indeed the second time, there was Donkeys, there was Monster Trucks, there was pig racing...a proper festival of off the cuff things, but this time it was just meh.
Walked away with the distinct impression I'd been well and truly fleeced if I'm being honest and won't be attending again.

Disgrace ! Run by inhuman conmen.
A que for an hour for drinking water is inhumane in 30 degree heat.
£5 for hook a duck.
3 small bags of sweets to try to keep the kids happy £18.
Refusal of all food an drinks on arrival criminal.
Food vans not allowed to sell cold drinks by management.

You have to que for cash tokens ,to then que over an hour for a cider to find they run out of cider so you get a can.

Didnt see a single person eating a sausage.

Binned after a couple of hours to rush home and share this review.

Not a festival in anyway shape or form .
More a dictatorship where they heard you in and force you to follow their rules.

I WILL ADVISE ALL FESTIVAL GOERS AVOID THIS OR BE DISGUSTED, SKINT ,SOBER AND HUNGRY. AND ANY OTHER FESTIVAL RUN BY THESE RIP OFF CLOWNS.

I WAS THERE I HAVE PHOTOS TO PROVE IF MANAGEMENT WANT TO RESPOND .....UNLIKELY

Payed £75 for a camper pitch with 8 toilets on the whole site! And absolutely filled with s*#t at 5pm on Friday, not even positioned in the middle of the site,, miles away at one end.
Queuing an hour for a £7.50 pint because there’s 4 people serving at the only bar at a festival!!!!!!!
1 hour queuing to get in to the festival as they had two people to search everyone’s bag.
Proper cheaped out.
Joke!
Won’t be going again.

Thanks for the heads up from the folks who have attended and didn't rate it. I was considering going to Sheffield but at £20 a ticket (for tribute bands I can see down the pub for nothing) and a ridiculous £4 booking fee (for what??) I think I'll give it a miss

Yeah it was hot & yes it was over priced, but what isn't these days... gotta make the most of it. Good Times. Kopycat Killers got the crowd going. I think a token system would be better for the future

It was a few stalls selling overpriced food and beer. They run out of different drinks very early on and the food was crap. It was so hot and so we paid to sit on solid grass listening to music in the distance. We were there for around 3 hours and we heard around 3 songs by "band". We had to leave as it was so boring. Could have done the same sat in my back garden and It would have been a lot cheaper. Calling a few stalls on public ground with quiet music playing is hardly a festival. Thanks for a total waste of money and time.

This event is a great example of false advertising. Was expecting large scale event but felt like we were crammed into our rich mate's garden who paid a few tribute bands £500 each to do a small gig whilst asking his uncle to do a BBQ and his dodgy mate to make a bar (£6 for a can of budweiser). There was one cider stall, that had a painfully long queue all day, and the one positive is that I was pleasantly surprised to see the organisers hadn't taken the opportunity to sell fast track tickets for this queue. The fact the event had the word sausage in it was a bit random as I assume there are more sausages in a nun's sanctuary than there were at this event. Poorly planned, many lies, and a bit of a scam to be honest. Hopefully this event doesn't continue.

We going to Queen tribute but crap almost all music was crap until 10pm then we leave the festival. False and misleading information on ads. No foods available after 8pm. Ridiculous.

Sadly can’t give zero stars. Arrived at Woolaton Sausage and cider festival at 5pm. Food stalls shut and sold out. Auto correct said s**t instead of shut.
Cider and ales sold out. Can of warm Budweiser £6. Lots of pissed people. Too small a venue, sound system poor. Left after an hour, hungry and thirsty. Not worth the money.

Overpriced and not worth it

To call this a festival is beyond an overstatement. £60+ for ticket entries. You would expect it to be decent. But worst “festival” I’ve ever been to.

There were 6 stalls selling cider. All watered down from buckets, and all warm. £6 a pint. Not even a vendor per stand, some companies had two brands per vendor out of boxes. Some vendors even ran out by 8pm. Who runs out at a venue when all it is is cider.

The sausages and food was by far the worst. 1 stall selling three menus of the same sausages in a bun from Aldi. £6.50 per sausage, and what’s worst the menu they were saying, was just a bottle of sauce on it to brand it another flavour. You had to them garnish is yourself with a bowl of crap next to it which everyone else had fingered.

Very disappointed and I would not recommend to anyone. Their team and marketing team should be done for full on lying on their website and promoting this as a good event with multiple vendors.

I have requested a refund for the tickets as paying this much to get in was ridiculous.

After reading the write up from the promotion team for the sausage & cider festival at Grimsby I purchased 6 early bird tickets for our group expecting a good night away with booking our hotel rooms!!!
Unbelievably disappointing would be an understatement!
Watered down rank cider!
No more than 50 at the venue & the prices! WOW!
£6 a pint for a P/ss poor pint!
What a scam this festival organisation is!
Cleethorpes venues was full of people that had gone to the festival & must've had the same opinion as there was more & more orange wristbands turning up as the night went on!
Never again & would strongly recommend anyone thinking of going to one to not bother!

The worse experience, absolute rip off !! Overpriced for what was there then charging £6 for a cider and £6.50 for a sausage, deffo won’t go again !

Calling this a ‘festival’ is a stretch. One sausage stand that served a couple of types of sausage with different sauce or cheese. Six or seven bars, one of which had one type of cider another two types. There were one or two craft beers at most and a lager that was described to me as being one of the worst beers ever to be put in the public domain.
Hardly anyone was there, but it was still a pain to get in. As soon as we got in you could see people heading for the exits.
One band all night, they were very good to be fair to them, but ‘festival’ would normally suggest at least a few bands.
I’ve seen better efforts at a village fete that cost fifty pence per ticket.

I have been expected to find more than 3 tipes of sauges sold under 13 names. Few people complained about the cider low quality. I didn't try it myself. Very poor management, drunken crew members. All together DISAPPOINTING

Your £15 gets you in to a venue, nothing more. No tokens for a cidre or a hot dog??? Not sure why we needed a entrance fee. On the plus side it was warm & the band was good. I wouldn’t recommend 🙁
