What is a reasonable price for an ice cream cone at a fair?

£2.50

There isn't one. It will depend on the quality of ice cream, the fair and location.

Supermarket vanilla ice cream with free splash of raspberry syrup. Village fair.

I did the ice cream for years and never charged more than £1 but wondering whether it should be £1,50 or £2

M0nica is right. I am an ice cream snob( Italian ice cream maker genes) and will pay for a good product made with cream and real additions, as made by our local gelateria. Mary Berry came and approved!
Other people prefer cheaper stuff- nothing wrong with either choice.

I took GC to a farm with a huge play barn on Saturday...£3.50p for a 3 scoop cone....We love a Mcflurry from McDonald's which cost £1.30p

At a fair, unless a school one, I think £2 + is fine
