I'm planning on Eastercon, but not being an experienced con-goer I'm not actually sure what to expect. Re the dietary thing... being diabetic I have to be a bit careful. In what way was the hotel food inadequate?

It's a long time since I've been to the NEC complex, but IIRC it would definitely require a car journey to eat out and the nearest place would be Solihul. I'm still debating whether to take the car or go by train, but at the moment train is more likely, so I'll be relying on the hotel for food.

Advice?
