OK, I didn't have anything to do at lunch today; so I was checking out which supermarkets, and so on, are near to Stoneleigh and figured it will be of use to others.
So, it's on a Google map (http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=116344400867925887935.000449b87cd6789df6993). :)
Addresses and post codes taken from companies' respective websites. So if the arrows don't point to quite the right place, tough! :p

There will be plenty on site, enough that you won't need to leave if you really don't want to. We hope to post details on on-site amenities and full menus, etc. as soon as possible.

Nice map, good work. It'll be interesting to see the menus when they're available, as i for one have to have a Chinese or Indian when i go to i series and knowing someone in Leamington, they've given me a little tip on the Indian :)

Great job, thanks for taking the time to create that and share it with the rest of us.
I'm hoping the on-site outlets will be reasonable enough to mean I won't have to venture to far though. :)

+1 to that man.
Trouble is, amenities on site is bound to be OTT expensive, which is why it was nice to have the likes of Sainsbury's etc at Newbury. I hope they aren't but being Stonleigh Park it usually is when I go there lol.

Cheers Oli, nice job, useful :)
(I really should do constructive and altruistic stuff like this when work's a "bit quiet" but instead I trawl ebay and other equally dangerous websites and generally achieve nothing, occasionally spending money into the bargain. Oh GOOD! I'm gonna try and think of something altruistic to do now, but unfortunately I lack both imagination and skill in bucketloads.)

Ok quick rundown from a local on that list:
Asda - Deep in Leamington big but in a real dodgy area :)
Tesco Express - Very small one in Kenilworth, not your normal Tescos
Tesco Metro - This is on the Parade, paid parking everywhere
Tesco - This is by Warwick Uni
Sainsbury's Kenilworth - Free parking, on Kenilworth Main Road
Sainsbury's Shire Park - Leamington Retail Park
Somerfield - On Kenilworth Main Road, parking round the back
Burger King on the Parade closed (Health and Safety iirc but might be wrong)
KFC - on Shires Retail Park next to Sainsbury, There is also a McDonalds here not in your list.
McDonalds - On the Parade, paid parking EVERYWHERE
Subway - on a Corner of a road you could maybe ditch it for 5 mins :p Just off the Parade (fast serving, im a regular!)
Coventry Pizza, Dominos is going some distance really.
Pizza Hut - Parade again, no free parking and dont deliver booooo :(
Hotel wise, Nearest and best on the road next to the event is the Chesford Grange (4 Star) and Quality Inn (much cheaper and just expanded). Was trying to keep this quiet til everyone I knew had booked :p

Hey Ive had chav's walk into a lan try and persuade me to use linux instead of windows using general points but still it was mind boggling to see it happening.
Therfore it will be more like 1.9k vs 103 as we may have some in our ranks.

Well this was unfortunate, unless 'really don't want to' is code for 'can afford it' :(
