Gourmet food at the Amex

[Shoreham Beach Seagull]

Higgidy have been in the 'gourmet pie' section of supermarket chiller cabinets for a year or two now, alongside Pieminister and others.

Never had one, but I think they're well regarded.

As I say - I had no idea they were local.

You're advertising the competitor Bozza!

They are still prepared off site then chilled and baked in the oven at the ground rather than being cooked off site then nuked in the microwave. Means nothing in itself as it's still down to ingredients at the end of the day but the intention is clearly there.

That's where you're mislead, all the pies are going to be made on-site. None of that Pukka pies rubbish

Pleased to see the purveyors of the Amex pies will not be Forfars.

That's what it says in the job advert

'The role includes serving food & drinks to the stands with backpacks and trays. Must be over 18 as you will be selling alcohol.'

Interesting as you are not allowed alcohol in the stands at football stadia.

It did mention other (ie non-football) events as well, and you ARE allowed to sell alcohol then.

If my memory serves me well you have people walking about selling snacks and drinks at the stadium when AEL play don't you. Do they sell alcohol, I dont think so but obviously the laws in Cyprus are different to here.

shame they dumped some of the caterers from withdean(corp) proper albion fans and all!

16-18 East street, her shop is at the front of the Beach House. All the road works at the moment is a bit of a bugger

Is that where the Angel Bar used to be?
Haven't been past there in months.

That's the one, it's a restaurant at the back but the bakery is right at the front of the shop. She has a load of food made on site available that both my Mother and Brother make. I tend to stick to the chicken pies though, must go through 6 a week.

I would like to join the campaign for some kind of Chicken Balti pie to be made by Mrs Piglet.

A football stadium that does not sell such a pie is poorer for it. In fact, perhaps we should have a vote

No, they don't walk around with snacks here. Facilities here are VERY basic. The Weaver's Bros shit at Withdean IS gourmet compared to what you get at stadia here! A tiny shop ptoected by a metal grill like an old fashioned bank in the Wild West.

Definitely no alcohol at the grounds here - the fans are mental enough as it is!

 

[Lady Whistledown]

The law states that you cannot drink alcohol within view of the pitch, hence at stadium:mk, where the concourse overlooks the pitch, the bar areas are screened off.

So unless there's some kind of loophole, I can't imagine the hawkers will be selling beer anywhere other than in the concourses- I recall MK having them, to reduce the queues for the bars. Probably sell other stuff in the stands though. I don't object to someone bringing me a hot dog during the game, though they'd better not block my view

Come on, pie-fans

Sign here if you'd like to see chicken balti pies on the menu at the Amex

I'm assuming it is Higgidy - http://www.higgidy.co.uk/our-story. I've seen them in all the supermarkets but I had no idea they were a Sussex company.

Up here in Bristol it's all about Pieminister - Pieminister&#153

They sell Higgidy pies in our local Sainsbury, a little on the pricey side to be honest...but very good quality and extremely tasty!

 

[tezz79]

Sounds good !!!
Got my mouth watering already & jot my name down for balti pie vote aswell.

I was fairly sure when I last went to the Stadium in Limmasol about 2006, they had people walking about selling roll things like bagels, chocolate and bottles of coke that the fans threw at the lino when empty.

 

[Easy 10]

Wow, they look BRILL

 

[Fef]

Well done Mrs Piglet; they look great! I for one look forward to demolishing a few of your veggie pies next season!
