Often wondered why famous fast food outlets aren’t in more stadia.

 

Must be a cost of machinery vs use issue.  No point in fitting a McDonald’s kitchen somewhere that’s only going to be used less than 100 times a year max (Wembley).

Went to watch an Orlando City game a few weeks ago to have a break from Disney with the kids. They had a Pizza Hut in the concourse :lol:

Just imagine the business it would get man? Thousands of fans smashing steak bakes and sosijj rolls at HT and in the stands. Virtually no queues either - bang, bang, bang, knock them out and rake it in. They're both missing a trick here tbph

in good American stadiums and arenas they’d do just that. Get the cult local spots to open up stands and promote local biz and get out of the rank concession biz

They could even make the stuff in the shops in the city and just deliver them 1 van load at a time, keep them warm and just knock them out, no need to bake loads of stuff on site. They're virtually lava for about an hour anyway. It's not exactly haute cuisine either but it is incredibly popular up here

We got quoted one mill to just open a conversation about getting our brewery a stand at Red Rocks. :lol: 

 

There is definitely money to be made.

I sometimes wonder if I’m the only Geordie on earth who thinks that Greggs food tastes bland and is guaranteed heartburn.

 

Milligans was always the better Newcastle bakery chain.  How Greggs went national is a mystery to me

Just better at business and marketing I guess but I do vividly remember sitting in Milligan’s as a kid in the Metro decades back. Greggs has done a lot of decent local bakers in too, very much by design.

Pie face is fantastic - beats Greggs into a cocked hat.

 

I only go once every couple of months.  Terrified that I’ll get an addiction to it

I know it's off thread but, whilst we're talking pastries, we visited Tintagel Castle earlier this year and right outside the entrance is a bakery. 

The cornish pasty I got from there was sublime. Absolutely sublime.

It does come close to pies you get at home but honestly nothing beats Twice Brewed steak pie near sycamore gap.

Do they still do a great steak pie? 

My sister used to work there in the early 80s when I was about 13 and that was my favourite thing on the menu.

That and helping myself to a cheeky half pint of beer when they were quiet.
