They seem to have their shit together in the NS, I always go for a pint and sausage roll. The guy next to me loves the burgers, he eats two during every 2nd half. The smell of them has always put me off, so I've never had one.
Sodexo was awarded the contract in the second season at the Amex.You can trace the slow slide into catering shitness to the day Sodexo won the contract.
In the first few seasons (Championship) the standard of food was excellent. Burgers included luttece and fresh tomatoes!! The burger my son got on Saturday would have been unacceptable at a village fete for £3. The only product which is remotely as good as it originally was is the pie, because guess what, it's got FA to do with Sondexo.
Due to this I now normally do everything I can to avoid buying food at the Amex, which is why I HATE the Sat 5.30 slot so much, leave home at 4 and home about 8.30 means it's near impossible to not get food during this time for the kids. Now made 100% worse by the outside food stands gone.
Please God Sondexo don't get the contract for the Fan Zone but something tells me that they will

You seem to be suffering from a rather selective memory. Very soon after the Amex first opened it's doors back in 2011, the club sacked two catering providers within what seemed like months, simply because they didn't come up to scratch, since then Sodexo have had the gig, and although very far from perfect, l don't think that any new provider would do very much better.You can trace the slow slide into catering shitness to the day Sodexo won the contract.

Always isIt was fine in the North.
Louts all of you.It was fine in the North.
That's so 2022.Always get cheesy chips from the stand outside. Reasonable value by football ground standards, food is always hot and as fresh as you'd expect for a chippy, and the staff don't rotate seemingly every game.
Same idiot that ordered 10,000 vegan KitKatsI mean - how HARD can it be to supply some ketchup sachets for the punters ? Who is the benny c*nt sitting in front of an Excel spreadsheet at Sodexo HQ deciding "yeah, 5,000 mustards and 25 ketchups this weekend down there. Noice"
Oh my life, don't even go there. My sister wanted a Mars bar a few weeks back, but was instead offered one of those as a token replacement. Green wrapper, the works. She literally thought they were joking, as did I. I couldn't believe it until I clapped eyes on them. Kinell.Same idiot that ordered 10,000 vegan KitKats
The last few matches the WSL kiosk has had tea with and without milk as a choice......as usualIy asked for a tea with milk and was told that 'milk is with the condiments'..........fair enough, small plastic sachet better than the powdered stuff already in the cup I thought............but the first 3 condiment dumps I visited didn't have any milk. Almost ended up in the South Stand before I found some. Having been unable to get the advertised fish sarnie OR my usual sausage roll as both had sold out I was by this stage OUTRAGED.Agree with all of this as a WSL fan. Honestly spent 30 mins before KO on Saturday as a 1st aider. Assisting people asking trying to find some milk sachets. Really.
You have my sympathy.The last few matches the WSL kiosk has had tea with and without milk as a choice......as usualIy asked for a tea with milk and was told that 'milk is with the condiments'..........fair enough, small plastic sachet better than the powdered stuff already in the cup I thought............but the first 3 condiment dumps I visited didn't have any milk.

I’m sure you mentioned the vegan KitKats on a previous thread about the catering. I did a double take a few matches back when I spotted boxes and boxes of unopened green KitKats when I wanted some chocolate, nothing else was available in the WSU.Oh my life, don't even go there. My sister wanted a Mars bar a few weeks back, but was instead offered one of those as a token replacement. Green wrapper, the works. She literally thought they were joking, as did I.

real.
We should check what they’ve had on the menu this season; could explain a lot.Sodexo was awarded the contract in the second season at the Amex.
They do all of the hospitality / food / drink concessions at the stadium and the training ground.
Having condiment sections is great but each till should have a box of sauces, come on this isn’t complicated, even Ronald McDonald and the Colonel have this figured out.Due to some disappointingly poor planning on my part, I arrived in the WSU around 4.45 hankering for some scoff. Anything. The cheeseburgers were sold out - natch - so I opted for a hot dog. Which was ok-ish in itself (soft bun, quite hot, congealed eyelids, snout and general offal scraped off an abbatoir floor somewhere in Romford). But try finding some KETCHUP. I like a line of mustard, AND a line of ketchup on my processed mashed pig sandwich. But no. Despite a grand tour of the WSU condiment outlets, all I was allowed was the mustard. I'd have had more joy finding a banking receipt in a Turkish barbers.

You've got ONE JOB, you useless f*cking SPANNERS.
