Chicken pie was lovely... but would benefit from more salt & pepper! (or little sachets in the box?)

I was in the supporters end, work needs doing before season starts, ran out of sugar before match started,pies luke warm again before match started and service very slow. Lovely pint of Harveys though. We all thought prices a bit steep £1-80 for a cup of tea for instance
Having moaned must remember this was the first match and a trial run before the start of the season so plenty of time to put a couple of bad points right

Veggie pie was 'okay' but not really worthy of all the gushing there has been on here in recent months.

Thought I'd bounce this to see if I can get SBS to give us the pie story from the other side. Some pie sales stats would be nice.

Thanks, didn't see the thread bounce first time round. We made 2000 pies this week, 1500 Steak, 400 Chicken and 100 Veg. When working in the East Kiosk we sold out the pies before half time not a clue how many we had to start with though. We then requested more pies to be brought down, which I think only another 40 odd got to us by the time the second half had started. I knew once again these would all sell which we just about managed (If only we had them before half time). Once we cleared all the Kiosks down there were around 100 pies in the west stand in the fridge that no-one had taken out

The steak and ale pie was, as has been said, very nice.
Would like to see a chicken balti pie introduced though, they're always a winner!

1900 pies / 7000 punters... that is a pretty amazing pie to punter ratio!

Your body wouldn't benefit though, and not everyone wants their flavours obscured by salt. But sachets (or a salt cellar on the counter) is a good idea.

I'm not sure if this is correct, but the 1901 or corperate lot would have to be taken off the 7000 (unless they aren't included in the attendance figure) Either way it looks like we will need to be making 6000 pies for match days.

For regular league games, about 6,000 pies needed!!

Pretty amazing indeed, and some are suggesting the number of punters was less than 7000 so 1900 sales is even better. Just goes to show that quality at a fair price wins out.
I'm really pleased they're selling well.

Um, there were little sachets in the box. Hidden under the pie.

Only in some by the looks of things. I wasn't aware of putting these sachets in the boxes so anyone in the east wouldn't have recieved them, sorry about that.
