Best food in the stadium

[mummy]

Best food in the stadium is the stuff you smuggle in.

Winds me up smelling other peoples disgusting food as they stroll back to their seat around the 52 minute mark.

Ban food in the stadium or at least in the stands. It's 2 hours ffs.. can people really not wait and support the local businesses in the area pre/post game?

 

[mummy]

If you choose to go down the snack smuggling route, women and children are the best mules, as the security personnel are almost exclusively male.

Also, I find that smuggling adds an extra layer of excitement to the outing. You never know if your partner or child is going to be refused entry. Great fun.

When the stadium opened, all of the food I tried was delicious and reasonably priced. But the last couple of seasons has been a disappointment. If you get food that's freshly cooked, it's ok but if it's been under the warming lamps for a while, it's all dried up. The burger is not too bad but the chips aren't great, and don't get me started on the sausage rolls.
I suggest eating before or after, I can recommend the Noodle King, just across the road from the front of the stadium, absolutely lovely food.

Finnaly a thread that strikes to the heart of what it is to be spurs.


The fish and chips are decent

I remember when the only food you got in the ground was peanuts, in their shells. Percy Dalton's, if my memory serves me right.

 

[mummy]

I remember an old bloke that used to sell them. He used to wander around shouting “peanuts, peanuts”. That would have been the early 70s.

He went on to become Sir Alan Sugar.

I haven't been to the marketplace, it always seems far too busy so I can't be bothered so I need to stick with the food availble at the Tap Inns or the grills. Shame, because the food down there looks ok.

Chicken and chips: Chicken dry, chips not great. Does the job if you're desperate.
Meat pie: Almost a bolognese sauce inside. Quite nice.
Chicken curry pie: Alright. Quite good for a stadium pie.

I'm interested in trying the ramen pots, though I've never seen anyone have one so I'm almost convinced they don't exist.

I had one last time I went. Its like eating soup with a fork.

Is it even possible to leave your seat at the half time whistle, get food, then return to your seat for the 2nd half let alone the half time interview?

Never tried, but that's barely possible going for a piss with a much smaller queue.
What are you missing in exchange for your nasal polluting snack?

You clearly don't know me. I never leave my seat at half time. I just unwrap the food I've smuggled in (which doesn't smell) and sit in comfort, while the nitwits go into the concourse and queue for ages for some overpriced muck that I'd never dream of buying.

A little trip down memory lane...

 

[Fattynomates]

They need to bring that back!!

Not gonna lie after the third pie I always felt stuffed! :contelol:

 

[The Swellhead Spur]

I've been to the new stadium once and had a chicken curry pie which was great

 

[scarletjim]

Ok, so she's thinking Chicken Curry Pie, Fish & Chips or a 'Terrace Warmer' (the ramen pots mentioned above).

Appreciate the point about smelly food etc, and if it were me I'd eat locally instead, but the missus wants to try the food in the stadium, so best to appease her as best I can, it's good of her to come along after all. Don't worry we're unlikely to be smelling the place out unless you're in your seat at least 30 mins before KO as that's my best chance of keeping her entertained while I watch the warm up etc.

 

[mummy]

You are the epitome of the fan Danny boy hates. Zero spend in the stadium??? Unforgivable!!

You nailed it. I don't think I've ever bought anything in the stadium. Bought loads of food in Koyum and Chip Town though - and that excellent place in the High Rd that sells Baklava, so I'm helping local business.

One thing that hasn't changed is piss poor service.

Don't like it? Don't go.

Or bring a nose peg.

Either way, shut the fuck up. Acting like no football club ever has served food at their grounds.

And everyone seemed to have a orange or satsuma at half time. Smuggled in of course..

 

[Steve73]

Sausage rolls were ace but haven't had one since last season, plenty of meat.

 

[Coys1955]

The cheese.

 

[Shotgunofmichalebrow]

The amount you smoke you will have zero functional taste buds. I never eat at football stadia if I can help it. Was at Milan game sat with the Italians and they wanted me deported when I explained the tradition of a half time pie.

 

[Notabadsquad]

The sweet smell of success.

Not had enough to say.
