What food

[paokman]

Homemade vegetable soup, cheap and easy to make.

Lentil or vegetable curry and rice.

Vegi burgers in Tesco are less than £2 for eight and are really nice.

Free peanuts in the bar with lots of added salt to make punters thirsty.

 

 

We give out spicy Bombay mix and usually some peanuts before and during most games

 

 

As for the chips,not sure we have a chip fryer anymore

 

 

I seem to remember reading somewhere that when the peanuts from some bars were analysed there were, on average, 28 different samples of urine present. Guess you won't have to add any salt.

i have to agree with the chips idea...cheap from tesco big bag for about £3, nearly every away game i have been to clubs have sold chips and have gone down well with the home and away support sell these with the burgers and hotdogs together and i think they will go down well anyone agree??

[Eastside Urchin]

I eat chips at some grounds,usually if they are fries.You need a chip fryer though and they are not cheap but chips/fries do seem popular

[DiamondGeezer]

If you've got an oven you can get oven chips. Mccains do them and probably tesco sainsburys have there own. And if u advertise them right and maybe say there better for you people will still buy them. A chip is a chip at the end of the day

We have an oven in the clubhouse but you couldn't use that,it wouldn't be logistical to keep bringing a tray of chips out of the clubhouse every 20 minutes.

I am not sure what there is in the burger van but I would suspect that any new food would have to be something which could be cooked in there.

It may be possible for pies to be cooked in an oven in the clubhouse early,then kept warm in a hot glass container,which we used to have in the old clubhouse but you couldn't put chips in this

Also if you have some grub in the clubhouse after the game it might encourage people to stay longer after games rather than leaving early because they want something to eat.

[Eastside Urchin]

To be honest,not really talking about food in the clubhouse.It's usually only open for around an hour after the games due to functions and before games I don't think the club have the time to do food in there,just complicates things on matchdays,more thinking about what you can do with the burger van Thingy

And this Saturday we can look forward to some really nice chips at Hastings

[Wivenhoe Urchin]

I agree with Rob's last post. Look at improving on what we already have in place with regards to food.

As for Hastings, I remember their ground food from previous visits and am also looking forward to it.
