There's nothing wrong with the food when it arrives at the Mem. In fact it has a track record of some quality, within the budget it lies. It's when it is served up to the fans that it all goes wrong, and the fans blame the ingredients rather than the people cooking those ingredients. A common theme these days. Good point, well made.

To be fair I don't let my boy have anything from the club, first home game of the season he got food poisoning from the bacon buttys there. Was in Bathroom every 20mins, he never wants anything to eat from there now 😒

I bought two vegan pasties on Saturday as there were no balti ones left ( my absolute favourite) and I tell you what , those vegan pasties were bloody lovely and I will most certainly be buying more at the next home game , to be honest it’s the only thing I’m currently looking forward to when attending home games When did they start doing those mate? I went to see if they had any at the Crawley game and none were listed on the board so I didn’t bother looking on Saturday. Is it one where you have to just ask? I don’t know to be honest , I’m not a vegan or vegetarian but I really do enjoy vegan food. My usual is the balti pie but they didn’t have any left so I asked what they had and the young lady behind the till ( who was really friendly ) recommended the vegan pasty as it was slightly spicy and similar in taste to the balti, I would just ask the next time you’re there mate.

(Maybe it is Greggs scoffing them all!) To be fair it’s the first time that they never had any when I’ve asked , I usually get into the ground around 1:30 Grab a pasty and coke and sit down behind the goal stuffing my face !! Really is the best part of the match day ritual !

Out of interest, what is in a vegan pasty? Do they put a meat substitute or is it just veg?

I get mine delivered from The Newt in Somerset, no meat substitute, a mixture of new potatoes, chard leeks, peas and other bits - delicious. I sometimes pop one in the oven if I'm watching on i-player, to re-create the glory days of catering at The Mem.

Did this require a thread on here? To be fair, it's not a role which is listed on the website, and it took me a bit of searching to find a contact name which may be vaguely helpful, or maybe not. I know that Dave Harper would not have had stewards under his watch telling somebody with a disabled ticket that they weren't disabled if they didn't have a wheelchair.  Hope it wasn’t. Nicholson. Need him back ASAP

The quality went downhill when the club switched pasty suppliers.

I heard a lot about their sweet potato pie (pre-covid), but they were always sold out of that one (or just rarely stocked it)

Took our pasties back last Saturday, inedible, full of grease and stuck to the paper bag. Basically zapped in a microwave too long - and to think we once won awards for our match day pasty. Would had not happened in Rob’s day!!
