Local park, food festival today. 15 pounds for a wrap. Worst price I've ever seen .🙄

Yes you can, it's a public park.

But what's the point then if going to a food festival? Don't get it.

There are a few other things there too. Stage with local acts. Sidestalls.

Far as I can see you are not being unreasonable. You are just saying that you felt a wrap was overpriced at £15.

If you went ahead and bought it anyway, still not necessarily unreasonable - you might have been hungry and felt willing to pay the high price at that point.

YABU to go to a 'food festival' and expect the food to be reasonable. It will always be a complete rip off.

Let me guess

Olive stalls
Turkish delight stalls
Olive oil with olive wood chopping board stalls
Trinkets
Chocolate stalls
Liquer stalls (that will sit in the back of your cupboard for evermore)
Cheese stalls
Home made soap stalls
Beer tent
Street food vendors
Flavoured nut stalls
Chutneys and jams

I saw you coming.

To be fair, the most memorable of that particular Harry Enfield sketch went with “You saw me coming” in the context of an idiot being cheerfully ripped off.
This post would have made more sense if OP had bought the thing (which she didn’t) and if you’d changed it to “they saw you coming”. As it is, it sort of just comes across like you’re mocking her for going to the park that day. I get what you were trying to say but I also get why OP didn’t.
