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. It’s a puff pastry topped hot pot really but absolutely loaded with steak. Not the cheapest meal you’ll have anytime soon, if it’s not £20 it’s not far off.

Sodexo Prestige is what shows on your bank statement when you buy any food or drink inside the ground. It does seem like a bit of a no-brainer to get Greggs and one of the local breweries to knock out at least some of the food and booze in the ground.

christ Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 The problem for any established fast food chain is that they’ll get pilloried for whacking the prices up while cannibalising their existing customer base. Much more hassle than it’s worth for what is essentially a few hours worth of additional sales every other Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbydazzla Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) My granda was a master baker and my dad was a baker. So I was brought up on pies and am something of an afficionado. Kennedy & Rhind in Jesmond are knocking out some hand made bangers, had a takeaway beauty from there last week.

loki679 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Well if your granda was a master and your fatha was just a regular then based on that progression I reckon you'd know nowt about pies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume they’re bought in from somewhere but Sodexo will mark them up. A bit different from Greggs themselves opening a kiosk in the stadium and charging twice as much for a steak bake than in Eldon Square. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photos being taken around the ground and on the Millenium Bridge would suggest more than a 'Partnering' agrrement. Reckon these could still be one of/the major sponsors after this season.

I just assumed it's because fun88 is shit and they didn't want to advertise gambling. Wonder if PL can put a fair price on official tour partner inline with other clubs?
