Went in the North Stand for the first time in a while today and was very impressed with the catering. They have really sorted it out now. Lots of variety of food and drink, staff seemed to know what they were doing, queues moved quickly, and costs were reasonably comparable to those at away stadiums.

10/10 from me.

With the occasional exception North Stand catering has always been good, but keep it quiet or the prawn sandwich brigade will moan

Best ratio of catering outlet per punter out of all the stands I'd wager, shortest queues and most stock. Wouldn't swap the facilities in the North for those anywhere else in the stadium.

Catering at our brilliant stadium is generally excellent.

I enjoyed a leisurely pint in the NS after the game and was still home (20 miles away) around an hour after the final whistle.

Transport links are pretty good too...

A first for me in the West Upper today at half time - a pie and pint purchase actually resulted in me being 25p out of pocket - they didn't even have the money let alone know what they're doing. A rummage for change and £4.75 being offered for a £5 note and I get called a 'legend' by the lad who was serving me.

It appears that the WSU is the ginger child of the stadium when it comes to food. WSL and North both seem to have a nice variety of food options. All we have are pies, burgers and hotdogs. No pulled pork, pizza, chicken, etc for us. Even the Monster Munch seem to have been taken away.

Usually chicken in WSU. It’s in the middle of the concourse kiosk.

4,500 punters and a cramped concourse. The NS serves far fewer, so it always runs more smoothly.

Don't bother with WSU catering the staff are useless and couldnt give a crap about speeding things up. Still do not understand why its not managed properly. No pre poured pints at half time rarely has enough pies for people at the back of queues.

NS does always seem to do well though at least they get it right there.

It was same 6 years ago. Strange how lessons not learnt.

I very rarely go for a pint at half time in the WSU, even though my seat is 2 seconds from the bar at the North end of the concourse.
Yesterday I fancied a beer, the staff were running around like headless chickens, service was really slow.

Don’t blame you. You’re competing with the problem drinkers who leave their sests on 35 minutes to get multiple pints in for their hic mates.

shouldnt really be a problem with how many pints it takes. Its teas and coffees that slow things down not every till has a card machine. Its just poorly organised. There was one girl about 4 years ago who got it right, stuck to her queue and never had a problem. Its just so so so poor.
