How are your mum and brother going to cope with 5000 pies every couple of weeks? Extra staff shirly?

Yes they were look at part time staff from city college I think. Obviously with home games only twice a month it would require 4 working days in that month (more for midweek as well)

I would think it might amount to much more, especially if Albion fans start calling into the shop to get a fix between games...also, if word spreads about their quality, it will be other people too. It is good to hear that the club are sourcing a product locally and buying quality, rather than going for some mass produced crap.

Yep. Hopefully the rest of the food on offer can match this. Though if this is just the start of the gourmet menu, I think we're in for a treat.

Can we have a Route One to the pies at Falmer please. Half the queue at Withdean was clogged with people ordering cups of tea. Can they have their own queue that can move as slow as it likes por favor?

In my experience, the BEST food is often in that category called "never seen or heard of it before".
On the subject of which ... Has anyone eaten at The Medicine Chest in Hove?

Will all these lovely home made pies, local ales etc on offer, it will be interesting to see what the prices are like. Hopefully just a little extra for a lot better quality.
The club obviously want to encourage people to come to the Amex early and stay late, but there is a limit to people's match day budgets.

Nope but having read a few reviews on here I want to, apparently the cocktails there are pretty special too.
Yes, twice. It's great. Worth it for the bread alone.
If you are drinking have the Riesling.

TB has opted for quality throughout the stadium, not plumbing the absolute depths with crap like KF-bloody-C.
In the away end for when Palace visit, we'll make a killing.

I made a point of buying one of these Higgidy pies from Sainsbury's on Friday. A couple of things...
One - it was the veggie version; spinach, feta and toasted pine nut pie. It's all they had in. Sainsbury's really weren't going big on promoting them.
Two - it was £3.49. That's a major supermarket's price. You can only hope that if they're being baked on site at the new stadium, we're not going to have to suffer an enormous mark-up on the price.
However, the pie we had was absolutely gorgeous. Perfect texture for the pastry, excellent flavour in the filling; way above the normal food standard you would get in any stadium. Verdict: seriously looking forward to scoffing some decent pies at the Amex.

Hang on, have I completely lost the thread of this thread?
I thought it was Higgidy pies we're talking about? Bugger. Oh well, it was still a nice pie.
