[Food] Are the pies at the stadium too expensive @ £4.10?

[Beach Hut]

Honourable mention must go to Huddersfield, who sell pies and hot dogs AFTER the match in the away end for a pound a piece.

Always buy from those guys for £1 a time post match, good idea as well.

For the first time I can recall (or bothered to notice) there was a mountain of pies left when we exited on Saturday, and the queues at 45 mins were basically non-existent. Much as I want the club to do well FFP and all that, I would guess that sales overall of peripherals must have gone down. We have given up progs, and additionally refreshments are almost down to none.
A shame but a result of many aspects: Poor quality in the past, queues, running out, poor service and the fact that I have established that 3 hours without eating is indeed a possibility. Still have a few beers though.

The fish and chips outside at £6.50 offer better value but I am not sure 2 normal sausages (8s) with chips is VFM at £6.00 or a portion of chips at £3.00. Havent tried the hot dogs by the station that is next on the agenda. Have stopped buying a beer after the game and now go to Lewes and the station buffet bar.

always brought a pie but £4.10 is taking the biscuit., now will do chips on route to ground. Not fans anymore, we are customers.

We can uncover Paul Barber's NSC name if we find out!

Have the prices gone up every season or does it just feel like that?

I can't answer your question as I bought a pie in our first season at the Amex, it was ok but football stadium food does not impress me, until I saw this thread I haven't taken any notice of the price of a pie.

For that I would expect organic free range meat and I would expect to actually have some inside the pie. However, what can I expect from a vendor that prices, good as he is, Ulloa at £8-10 million.

Why are you buying pies from Leicester?

The same pies are priced at £2.50 at Amex (1 John Street) canteen. Can't see why they are just under £2 more at the stadium.

 

[Barnham Seagull]

Great when the Amex opened but have gone down hill. Pastry normally very hard/burnt.

Over £4 would be fine if they were very good but they are not so £3.5 would be about right.

£2.20 for instant coffee and £1.70 for a bottle of water is even worse.

 

[Steve Foster]

I only eat the veggie ones, so yes, far too expensive!

Ulloa was too expensive. I would have expected him to have been roasted and honey glazed for that. The pie had bones in it.

I am not. They are too expensive.

 

[gregbrighton]

So it's agreed. The fans are being ripped off buying the pies.

So you'd be quite happy to pay £3.50 for shit food !!

Yep

Yes

 

[Gullys Cats]

£4:10 nearly the price of 10 fags ;-)

 

[OzMike]

That would be $7.45 here, that is bloody expensive, the price for a decent pie here is around $3.50
