Many Thanks for all those replies it certainly is very valuable information.

Fresh Soup is being looked into to for saturday but may not be available in every tea bar for Saturday

It would also be interesting to know if the Kidderminster model could work here? Who would be happy to pay more for quality, plentiful snack foods?

Thanks for coming back to acknowledge the feedback and give some responses, its great to see a two way dialogue about something that is as important as food at football.

Regarding the soup, can I suggest that you offer 'soup and a roll' rather than just soup? Adding a roll will turn it from a hot drink to small lunch.

Regarding the Kidderminster model, my view is clear :-) I arrive for 3pm kickoffs around lunchtime, and 7:45pm kickoffs around dinnertime. At the moment my main meal money goes to Tesco, Burger King, McD etc and any pie or burger I buy at the ground is really just an indulgence as its not enough for a meal. I'd be more than happy to pay more for something that resembles a lunch or dinner.

Perhaps its a good idea for you to contact Kidderminster and speak to the Catering Team there, as their experience might mean that they have some good advice for you?

Was also thinking that maybe we can make sure the club continues to play its part in the community by donating any left over waste food after the game to a local homeless charity who can distribute it? Not sure how easy or hard it is to safely do that, but just an idea.

If you did Kidderminster style cooking then I would gladly get to the ground a little earlier and tuck in.

That would be a yes from as well
Kidderminster should be the benchmark all clubs should be aiming for

They had no milk in the habbin at half time. I was one of the first in the queue, what is wrong with keeping UHT milk, keeps for months. Very poor, no excuses for this.

I had a burger from the habbin today, first time I've had food this season and have to say I was impressed. Good to see onions there too, as I know people had commented before about them not being available. Think Ill give a pie a go next time.

You need to start serving kebabs, big greasy ones.

Great idea Ted78

We need a bar behind every stand and a kebab van.

Tried the Spinach and Feta today, very impressed but still not as good as the great chicken balti!

[ted78]

I might try and get a fur burger next time I visit the mighty Utd

Given our new scouting network and impending recruits, how about:

Goulash
Rice & beans
Goat Curry

Pot noodles would go down a treat

Ridiculous idea. Forks are considered a dangerous weapon in the wrong hands. And you can't eat a pot noodle without a fork

[ted78]

What are you going to eat Goulash, rice and beans and goat curry with eltel your fingers!

Tried the balti pie today, it was excellent. Despite my long standing love of both pies and currys, I've never been sure they'd make a good combo, but recent good reviews convinced me to give it a go and I'll definetly be partaking in more!

Plastic SPOONS. The goat curry will only have small pieces of meat, we need to make a profit
