Catering tonight

Stoichkov · Aug 8, 2015

Arrived at 6:45. Ordered the chicken & chorizo pie as part of the £9 deal. This initiated a huge search around the kiosk for the pie ending in a "sorry they're in the oven". Settled for steak. I then reminded the server I was waiting for my pint and similar for my Mars Bar. I was invited to get the mars bar myself so I had to point out customers don't have access to it their side of the kiosk.

I fancied another point but the queue was huge and seemingly not moving.

Big half time queues too when the 2nd half kicked off

I don't think WSU was the place to be for the hungry / thirsty supporter last night...

No pizza in East Stand Upper.

I believe the different styles of 'street food' rotate between different stands.

So pizza would have only been in one concourse and will be in a different one next match.

Bad day at the office in ESU

Not good. I am prepared to be tolerant early in the season as new staff bed in with a changed menu but last night was comical in the North.

The cheese and onion pasty was a let-down and very poor value for money. Feedback will be on its way to the club.

As has been said already they do not have a very large range of,products so I would have thought part of the training would be "this is what we sell" and "this is where you find it". My first attempt to buy a pasty failed.

Me "Please can I have a cheese and onion pasty?"
Server - blank look
Me "a cheese and onion pasty"
Server - "cheese nuggets?"
Me "pasty"
Server - blank look, calls manager
Manager " no pasty"
Me "ok I'll try another kiosk"

At the second kiosk the guy in front me ordered Harvey's and got Fosters's.

I successfully ordered a pasty but the server had to ask a manager where to find them.

We have the most expensive food in the league. It should be good quality and service.

We need machines that dispense beer in seconds

Or a catering team that have the nous to spend the first half cooking pies, addressing the shortages across the outlets and pouring shed load of pints before half time and placing them near the vendors.

my son risked a hot dog last night. He didn't like it so I had a bite. Is that even food?

Every pie burger or pastry was in a paper bag even early in the NS

No they weren't. Maybe they ran out earlydoors. Got to NS about half six because I didn't trust the trains not to do a wobbly on me, but pie from NS middle kiosk came in polystyrene container, same as always.

My daughter had the new pizza and was really impressed with it: she's a big fan of the steak pies but she says the pizza was better. Impressed with the lack of queues in the North Stand too, got served straight away

The ratio of catering outlets and available stock to punters in the NS has to be the highest of anywhere in the ground shirley. Very impressive.

Me, Mrs Earle and Earle sprog have the same routine each match. Spoke to a Sodexo manager who said most people have the same routine. Now the best pies have gone, my routine is broken. Trouble is, my new routine might not include anything at The Amex now. Nobody likes change, Sodexo obiously know this but are prepared to take the risk. Halftime queues in WSL were ridiculous so cross off a halftime snack now.

The cheese and onion pasty was horrible - hard pastry and a dry potato filling. I thought it was going to be as well as the usual veggie pie, not instead of!

It should have been great! I don't know how they managed to get it so wrong.

Poor service in ESL not a fan of the chicken and chorizo nor is the boy bring back the chicken and ham!

Diablo · Aug 8, 2015

Whilst the Harveys tasted good the girl serving us poured out not much more than 3/4 pint. I pointed out that at Amex prices I expected a full pint and she grudgingly topped me up.

No comment re food as queues to long

The NW kiosk had no containers you could see the cabinets were full of food in paper bags at 18-45

Have to say I thought long and hard before posting that well-kept secret. Tho not long or hard enough. My bad. I hereby sentence myself to a month of eating nothing but cheese and onion pasties :down:
