Question Food and Beverages at RH

[Chris Powell's mate]

You pay for it though at an NFL game last year a slice of Pizza was £20 and a can of beer £16

Maybe, that's the trick.
Expect to pay a wedge for decent food. If not, feed up afore you go, or wait till later.

 

[Streaky]

£3 for a portion of hot, well cooked chips at the Fish House or £4 for a "death burger" at Roots Hall - no wonder the queue at the Fish House is often around the corner on to Vic Avenue.

If the quality is better then i'd expect the speed to be slightly slower, and thats a trade off i'd happily take.

You only have to look at some of the food available at other clubs to start getting food fan envy

Can remember being stopped years ago entering the south upper with a chip buttie from the fish house. Steward said can't bring that in here as we sell food. Told him in no uncertain terms to do one as I didn't want to spend the night on the toilet. Guy just shrugged his shoulders and let me pass

I haven’t eaten anything “cooked “ at The Hall for years
Very poor quality and the pricing is very disproportionate
Good food (including onions ), happy to pay and wait for.
As demand and profits climb , increase staffing levels to manage.
Or, sublet food outlets for a price

There are people who sit near us who eat the burgers before every game, the stink that comes from their arses in the second half is absolutely attrocious.

I never have a problem with the burgers in the West Stand, we don't always have one but when we do they've been fine. Might be that they're fresher when we get to have them usually just on kick off, as the pre-prepared ones have gone - I don't know.

What I do know is that the average spend per person at RH, at just over £1 per head, is something that needs to go up to give us a decent income and to get that to go up, obviously more people need to be attracted to buy things. If that's down to quality, then it has to improve.

I buy a Bovril now so that's £2.30 they are better off.

Why do you smell them ?

No Roots Hall rat burger for me, last time I had one my pants went straight in the bin lol.

Wembley?

 

[in the know]

I'm actually quite partial to a cheeseburger and onions with the burger sauce in it. The coffee is truly terrible though.
Of late, after parking, I've been distracted by a battered sausage and chips which I somehow manage to wolf down on the walk to the railway for a doombar. Then back in time for the start of the teams warm up !
It's way too hectic a schedule and I need to do away with something! I've a feeling it might be the warm up!

 

[Mr. Benedict]

The food at Roots Hall is atrocious and I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole, the only things that are remotely edible are the pies and that's only because they are pre-packaged. Even then it sounds from some reports like they're not being heated up properly.

The club could do a lot better all round with matchday spend by the sounds of it. Give us some decent food, good beer and a better range of merch in the club shop and I'm sure the average spend will significantly improve.

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

Wembley?

Nope Philadelphia.

Beer at Wembley is about £7.50 a pint.

But Philly is great though.

The problem with large venues is that they have a captive audience.

Not so much at roots hall

And also football isn't so long that you can have the captive audience. Two hours isn't very long to go without something to eat. There may be more opportunities to sell food at evening games where perhaps people come straight from work, but on a Saturday 3pm ko it is in between regular meal times. Most people are in the ground by 2:55 and leave within 5 mins of the end.
