Swanky Franks, Super Kiosks and 10p more for a pint.

Seems Sodexo use this company (based on the testimonials), so maybe it's been outsourced - if so, looks good (and local, so makes sense)

I have worked with the Wood Fired Pizza Company for some six years both on major events during the summer months and more recently providing a service for the students at Wellington College. Russell, Maiko and the team are so flexible in matching the pizza offer and price to the customer profile. The operation is fast and efficient without any compromise on the quality of the pizza - real pizza dough is used to make the pizzas in front of customers. The toppings are healthy, fresh and innovative. The team focus on customer service which is the all too important element of a successful business.

Why can't we have a KFC or a Burger King ffs!

'Cos Sodexo have the franchise, and these chains wouldn't give Barber the sort of profit he is looking for.

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Wasn't it £3.60 in 2011/12 (before the discounts etc)

Pretty sure it was £2.90 in 11/12 and £3.60 in 12/13.

From memory it was £3.90 when the ground opened and when you used your cash back thing on your season ticket, it made it £3.50.

Changes to refreshments for concourse dwellers have been announced.

Price rises attributed to Sodexo having to fork out for increases in the minimum wage.

And what on earth are Swanky Franks' burgers no less ...

Actually prices are flat for most things.

"Brighton & Hove Albion's catering partner Sodexo, in conjunction with the club, has updated prices for the 2016/17 season, and these show minimal increases or price freezes across the food and drinks menus.

Meanwhile, Sodexo have made significant investment in upgrading a number of kiosks across the Amex, to give fans even more choice when it comes to food and drink.

Two additional super kiosks have been added in the East Lower and North concourses, in addition to the one in West Lower. These super kiosks are those which have typically been quieter in terms of footfall, and the aim is to offer more choice, to drive customers to those kiosks, and speed up service across the board.

The super kiosks will offer Yard Bird Chicken Brand, Yuki Yama pan Asian vegetarian brand, alongside other fan classics such as Piglets pie and a new Swanky Frank's burger, which is a new recipe for this season.

The super kiosk in East Lower, located in the family area, will also have a new Gully’s box for our Young Seagulls and junior fans, which includes a piece of fruit.

Additionally, Sodexo has created seven destination kiosks which have replaced those that were either old beer and pie units or those which offered limited items; these are located across the stadium concourses and include two serving curry and Heineken; a chicken and Harvey’s shop; a Piglet's guest and Heineken bar; two sweets, treats and coffee shops and a wood-fire pizza offering.

Head of catering Tony Crosbie commented, "We have made some significant upgrades across the Amex to give fans more choice, and to try and alleviate queuing times at the really busy, peak periods. The trial super kiosk in West Lower proved a popular addition last season, so we hope the additional ones will prove equally popular in other areas.

"Alongside this, we have also tried to minimise price increases where possible, but rises in food and drink costs, together with increases in staff costs, as we ensure that we meet the requirements of the Government’s National Living Wage and National Minimum Wage for our staff at the Amex, have meant we have had to make some small increases."

All soft drinks, crisps and sweets remain at the same price as last season. There is a 10p (2.24%) increase on burgers and pies; and a 20p (5%) increase on hot dogs. All other hot food remains at the 2015/16 prices, while there is also a 10p (4.8%) increase on hot drinks.

Prices of alcohol, across both the stadium concourses and hospitality lounges, will see a 10p (2.24%) increase on pints of Fosters, Kronenbourg, Guinness, Strongbow, Heineken, Harvey's Best Bitter, and the same uplift on bottles of Bulmers and Heineken. There will be a 20p (4.7%) increase on red and white wine.

Meal deal pricing for the new season will be as follows: £9 for an alcoholic drink, any hot food item and either a chocolate bar or bag of crisps; £10 for any two food items and any two soft drinks; and four pints of any lager, beer or cider for £16.

Sodexo are also introducing an early-bird offer across kiosks with two offers to encourage fans to arrive at the ground within the first 30 minutes of doors opening. With any food item and an alcoholic drink for £8, or any food item and a soft drink for £6. "

Unfortunately, Sodexo rarely tells the staff about the Early Bird offers.

 

[Official Old Man]

Is it too much to ask for the following-
A short queue at 45 minutes prior to KO so I can get a pie and Harveys and, if I fancy, a second pint with 20 minutes before KO
A pint at half time with less than 3 minutes queuing so I can enjoy the pint without rushing or missing any action.
And of course, all food hot and ready.

I'll take THREE

As I said in my post and other threads regarding pizza, there is a shop in Padstow called The Wood Fired Pizza Company, both eat in and take away. Not only delicious but fresh herbs like Basil leaves on the top.
Easily one of the pizzas I have eaten.
Must be the same company otherwise they would not be allowed to have an identical name.
I know Hiney has eaten there I am sure he would back me up on this.

Ha, great typo. Reminds me of my favourite line from "Play it again Sam" where he leans in and says "You have the most eyes I've ever seen on a woman". Classic!

It says there's a 'wood-fire pizza offering' so doesn't use the same name. As others have mentioned, it's highly unlikely (read impossible) that there will be a wood-fired pizza oven on one the concourses at the Amex. It's marketing speak for an overpriced slice of pizza.

 

[Bozza]

From memory it was £3.90 when the ground opened and when you used your cash back thing on your season ticket, it made it £3.50.

Opening prices were:

Fosters, Strongbow and Harveys £3.60
Kronenburg £3.80

So, with the 10% cashback, in August 2011 you could have an Amex pint for £3.24.

 

[CP 0 3 BHA]

This seems to imply that the Pie and Pint deal (was £7 then became £7:50) has disappeared completely. That's a real shame and may well mean me spending far less before games this season as I'll make other arrangements.

I have a dreadful summer cold. Always a great excuse that one.

Ahh, fair enough didn't read it properly. Shame though thought it may have been a franchise.
Anyway at least you know where to go for pizza if you visit Padstow.

It's still available as shown in the promo photo on the club Twitter feed. Was also advertised on the new branded kiosks at the Lazio game. £7.50 for a kronenbourg and a pie is good value in my book and has not been affected by the price increase.

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

a curry and heineken kiosk !

Book me in.

10p a pint rise hardly the end of the world.

would you say that down your local

Pretty much what happens in WSL most games, although half time can sometimes be a bit crowded.

Posted this earlier - my guess.
