Happy Birthday for tomorrow. That is disappointing that the catering has gone downhill. I have enjoyed the FFSC Hospitality matches in the past - the food has always been pretty good, not absolutely top notch, but good enough. The new Professional era not going well it seems.

Hate to say it, but it was awful. Was really looking forward to it. Wish I'd had the soup to start as the 3 pieces of lettuce, 1 with a small bit of cheese in it, 1 with 2 small anchovies in it and 1 with something else in it, was pathetic. As for the main, choice was pork or beef. Chose pork. It was literally all fat. My Father had beef and it was as tough as old boots. Pudding was cake.
The only interesting point was a table there had curry. Huge pot of curry, pilau rice and chips. Not sure how they managed to get that but I wish they'd offered that to me as an option rather than the stuff I got.
Shame as this is the first bad experience in a long long time in hospitality. Hoping this was just a one off.
Ark at Greg Wallace. It used to be great when he who cannot be named ran it Happy birthday

The food in the boxes I always think is very good, and I enjoy the carvery option in the Dribuild too. No complaints from me yesterday.
Hopefully just a one off.

All the pasties i saw yesterday were overdone. Not normally the case. Had a steak and ale pie and can confirm it was beautiful I arrived at 2:30 and tried to by a pasty behind the West terrace. They had no traditional pasties at all. I opted for a cheese pasty, a bad mistake. It was disgusting. £4 for that. I chucked it away.

I echo the above comment, I almost broke a tooth on my first bite of pasty. To be fair to the staff in the hut when I took it back they had a look for a decent one but they were pretty much all overcooked! I wasn't going to post it on here but seeing as I wasn't the only one looks like there may be a catering problem at the Mem. Come on Shaggy my old mate. Who you trying to kid? We both know that neither of us ever chews our food.

It simply is not good enough that it probably come down to luck as to whether you have a decent meal or not. The quality should be good every time otherwise some never try again. It is bad enough witnessing 3rd rate games at most home games and to be served unsatisfactory food as well. Petition number 2?

But Ernie was too quick, things didn't go the way Ted planned, and a strawberry flavoured yoghurt sent it spinning from his hand.

I can concur with the comments within this post, the food is terrible over cooked and service shocking. Tom Gorrange hides away in box 1, doesn’t appear to care what service is dished up but happy to take the £££

Food, facilities, scoreboard, toilets, visiting fans facilities, communication. Bit amateur in most respects we be with little ever seeming to improve. Wonder if our Board get embarrassed when we play away and see everyone else does it better. Do they care? Have no doubt come next August things will be no different like every other August.

Tom Gorringe hides away in box 1, doesn’t appear to care what service is dished up but happy to take the £££ Tom Gorringe responds diligently and helpfully to any request put towards him by supporters and is genuinely a really nice guy who does his best to improve things with the little that he is given. He probably cares more about what matchday service is provided than anyone else at the club. See him for yourself if you wish to highlight your concerns in a constructive manner, I’m sure he’d be more than happy to help.
