£4.29 too much for that stuff.
I bought a couple of pints of heineken in the wsl after the match, tasted exactly the same as kronenburg tasted last season.

hooked up the wrong barrels

[Herr Tubthumper]

Everything at concourses gone up 10p, £4.30 for fosters

Any different beers to last year? Someone mentioned Harvey's stout? In place of the Guinness?

I had run out of Branston pickle.

Just my opinion, but I think they may have just changed the pump badges to say Heineken but still had some Kronenburg to shift.

Queues much the same ie too long. Half time would need to be half an hour long to get a beer, a pie and enjoy it at leisure. Brighton is not unique in this respect though. Pie as good as usual and didn't seem to have gone up. £4.20 was what I paid last year if I recall right. Beer had gone up 10p, but having been scalped. £5.20 for a pint of gassy pish Carling at the Oval last week puts £4.50 for Heineken into context. Although at least at the cricket you can take your beer to your seat.

Yes , unfortunately , no "head" on this new black stout from the usually good Harveys stable ,
a poor relation and this one got a big thumbs down from me and my guiness loving pal

 

[Wozza]

Are there still deals (eg pie and pint)? Didn't see any info when I looked.

 

[SicilianHungary]

Queues of 17 at all 10 of the tills in my kiosk in WSU around the start of the second half.

Got through them all of course, but not an ideal situation when the kegs run out! Hadn't noticed a price increase on beer!

Bought some chips from the mobile unit outside the stadium today, first time I have bought any food from outside, chips cost 3 quid but they were very nice.

They're always decent. And the chicken is very good.

I will remember that, must admit I was full up with just the chips.
Good service from the staff at that van, quick and polite.

 

[Is it PotG?]

I never have a pie anymore. I had a pie. It was rock hard doggy dos. I will never have a pie again.

Dick's Bar:

1 bar for Harvey's. 1 bar for other beers.

If you're in a round containing both liquid requirements, tough.

Harvey's Black stout was there in the West concourse at the end of last season, served on keg. Rather enjoyed it but it gets you quite drunk so I'd question the %.
Dicks now have a Harvey's keg wall of all their beer.

North stand was the same as last season for prices and queues - all reasonable

This. Also the kiosks seemed to be manned by happy smiling capable Uni students rather than somebody asking if you want milk in your bovril. Doesn't normally happen before September.

We were in the South Stand yesterday and there were no problems I could see. The 'two hot items and two soft drinks' deal has gone up by a quid, but even at £11, I think it's OK.

We were in ESU and I bought 4 pies (which were bloody lovely!) and 4 soft drinks... was expecting £22 but was charged £20... which was a bargain.

....... rather than somebody asking if you want milk in your bovril..

Thank you sir, that has set my day off up nicely

 

[DavidRyder]

My burger was totally incinerated on one side, and a burger as you'd expect on the other side. Luckily I like burnt BBQ food, so I was happy!

Much as I'd like to claim credit for it, somebody did actually report on here a couple of seasons back that they were asked that exact same question

 

[Common as Mook]

No Guinness?? FFS Barber.

Just a reminder that the kiosk staff will be a nightmare until end of September when the students come back, so get the moans in now.

No moans here, all good, as reported in post #32 above
