Shirley this is Fab remit territory? FAO @Barry Izbak

Quality of catering / stock and staff should be fed back to the club in an official capacity as they aren’t going to experience it first hand in the Directors box

New staff or not (uni change over) there should be some simple SOPs in place to run a production line and have pints and pies ready in all instances.

They need to do something about speeding up the hot drinks as typically it’s always a shambolic transaction with the customer equally at fault (f*** off out the way after you’ve bought your drink)

Should be aiming for less than 30 seconds per customer

The only way I can avoid the nightmare queues in East Upper is to pop out 5 mins before HT, then come back to my seat and hold onto my pie until halfway through HT as it seems rude to start eating before everyone else.

Disappointed there were no breakfast pies left to experience but at least they still had the dependable steak and ale. According to their website they make 10,000 pies for every game which means 1 in 3 of the congregation consume a pie during the game. Seems a lot considering all the other, lowlier food items also on sale.
Or.... Some people ate all the pies......

Sorry, I should know this but can someone confirm you get a discount if paying with and Amex card. Will any Amex card do? What is the discount and is it automatically applied or do you have to ask for it. Thanks.

Nor to suggest it's still going. Not seen a single moan 😄
It's going and far quicker than joining a regular queue. I'd expect another kiosk to be turned over to this format. Hopefully no software failures though as that happened at least twice last season causing it to close.

West is BEST
Why would they change their product or prices when people are lining up to buy this muck until it sells out.

The idea that we are some lovely family club on their sode of things is very naive.

Premier league. They want our money and they don’t care if your burger looks like a kid has brought it home on their shoe they couldn’t give a tinkers. And they have no reason to while people are fighting to get one.

People mock me but it’s why I preferred Withdean for a more honest match day experience.

I loathe the PL and all this corporate, rip off, day out.

Fwiw I had the vegan pie and it was hot and delicious. I think people are put off by the ‘Vegan’ tag but I’ll be damned if I can tell the difference between the vegan pastry and regular 🤷‍♂️
Um, I'm admittedly no expert in these matters, but strongly suspect a vegan pie is not solely defined by the ingredients used in its pastry
:wozza:
