Im not happy with the Amex lack of healthy and veggie/ vegan food, but at least I think we can all agree the standard exceeds the awful 'food' at some clubs.

Certainly on the pie front, Piglets steak & ale versus Pukka steak & gristle, l know which one l'd choose.

Our steak and ale taste nothing like our original steak and ale sadly.

You don't think so? I still enjoy mine. Either way lets be honest, whatever Piglets produce it has be better than what the great majority of clubs churn out.

vegan doesn't mean healthy......neglecting collagen and taurine, plus going for processed tofu is arguably not smart. If it's to do with the death of an animal - tofu and soy farms kill all the local rabbits, voles, insects etc via chemicals.

Best thing the club could do is themed match days....indian, chinese, italian etc.......keep it simple - and mass produce 1/2 dishes. But the pie n chips stigma is deep.

Chinese and Italian food at a football ground? What is this, Yogi Bear’s birthday?

Pie and chips. Not everything has to be a culinary experience.

The chicken pie and a cuppa on a freezing day at withdean? That was heaven.

I’m going to steal that phrase and use it whenever I can !

i think some people expect to much sometimes. FDootball stadiums arent macdonalds, or KFC, and certainly not restaurants. They have to deal with mass customers in a very short space of time. You dont go to go to football for your main meal (hospitality excepted).

Like it or not they have to cater to the majority, and it has to be mass produced, preheated, . If you want your one shot soy latte with hazlenut foam and a non gluttrn ciabatta with misso soaked toffu and a bed of rocket you are in the wrong place!

Guest pie. Vegan Bombay potato today. Sounds nice.

Agree. But there is a gulf of difference between gourmet food and some of the stuff that gets served at football grounds.

Personally think the food at the AMEX is on the better side of things.

Noodles are for sale in the North stand.

I had a steak and ale pie last Sunday, and it was as tasty as when I had the first one at the Amex.

Weatherspoons is reheat mass produced and plenty of people eat there without too many complaints. Couldn't the corporate kitchens produce more i.e. for the '2nd class' supporters? Think we need to look outside the box and not instantly dismiss alternatives to a pigs stodgy pie.

 

[Official Old Man]

Whilst it hurts me to say anything against Piglets Pies, I do get the feeling the quality is going downhill. Chicken pie pre-match every game but the pie last weekend (FA Cup) had very little chicken in it. In seasons gone by every mouthfull would have a piece of chicken but now it's one or two pieces per pie.
I'd try the Steak Pie if traddition and superstitions allowed but wont happen.

I'm looking forward to the Bombay Potato Pie today having missed out on its last visit. I'm glad Piglets finally made their veggie pies vegan. Surprised there are not vegan burgers or hotdogs though, they are really good these days and not that expensive either.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

The pies I like - would be nice if the guest pies were a little more varied like they were when the Amex first started. The burgers and hot dogs on the other hand are dire. I'd also like to be able to get chips and sausage rolls.

I like the sound of the filling but am always hesitant as to how good vegan pastry can be compared to non-vegan pastry.

To be honest I wouldn't know, been so long since I've had non-vegan pastry. Tastes fine for me
