I'm honestly gobsmacked that anyone eats anything at our stadium. I haven't touched it for over 20 years. Absolute disgrace what we get 'served'.

Bare bones.

The burger van in the lower loft is quite good, had a burger before the Watford game and was pretty good and not bad value either

I had the pizza slice once from the club and it didn't look much like the picture of it

I saw a recent Whatsapp funny going round which made reference to a certain labour MP standing on a mirror.

I thought that hotdog picture was it appearing on here.

Nasty business.

Returning to the theme though.... you want rip off food and drink then look no further than the Taxpayers Stadium. What West Ham are doing there is a scandle!!

Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

Its a real missed opportunity , that and the beer choices . My eldest son rants about it every two or three games .

While in my limited experience the food/drink at the Gtech is better than at Griffin Park (or Loftus Road?), I'm still not persuaded that it's as good (quality/value/consistency) as it should be for a brand new stadium.

Then again like 'Boston', I don't usually go to football stadia to eat, only doing so when absolutely desperate.

Speaking of which, when I went to WHU's new stadium a couple of seasons ago, it was a night match and I hadn't eaten since breakfast, so I had a Hot Dog. It was £9 (ouch!), but here's the thing: it was nearly a foot long, well cooked in a nice, fresh roll and the sausage itself, advertised as being from a local "artisan" supplier etc, was very tasty.

Certainly it was light years away from your deep-frozen Iceland jobbie and I didn't really mind the cost - far better nine quid for something you enjoy than half that for something you can't even finish.

But everything else about WHU is toilet, mind.

Would echo that the food van in the lower loft isn’t too bad

But £6.75 for a pint of Carlsberg is daylight robbery

The concessions on the concourse are quite frankly a disgrace

I went to the Etihad over Christmas got a burger (proper burger) a pie (not a pukka pre heated one) and a pint of Asahi for about £14 quid and served within 3-4 mins

Our offering is sh!t

Downvoted by mistake , because I don’t downvote but I hope you can see how this is a problematic thing to share.

The smell of the atomised fat as I used to enter the Upper Loft when I was a season ticket holder put me off eating anything in the stadium during my visits.

That burnt hog dog in the OP is a disgrace and should be stuck on our new CEO's desk to mull over as one of his things to do list. Club is losing money by the poor food and drink offering and service.

Might be worth bringing in local firms to provide food and drink and take a % of their profits or just charge a flat fixed fee to allow them to run a concession stand. Promote local firms and get good and different food options in for punters to try

I always thought a partnership with Cookes should have been sought. Nice cultural tie to the area.

The pictures above the kiosk and what you actually get remind me of that scene in 'Falling Down'.

I know they sort of do it in the family area on SA Road these days, but I always thought it would be nice to close the road, or at least half of it, around the stadium and just get some decent street food vendors in. I can't be the only one who is not really a burger man?

Bare bones.

A mate of mine asked for a cheeseburger at the Fulham game a couple of seasons ago and the bloke behind the Jack n Jill gave him a frozen one
My mate goes WTF is that ?? !!!
The bloke serving goes “ oh did you want it warm then ? “
I never laughed so much in ages , but it does go to show how much we must lose in income from beer and pies , etc

And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles Brian Moore

Tbh imagine how much extra cash they'd make simply by making it so you could buy a drink at half time without missing any of the game?

The carnage involved in getting anywhere near the food kiosk in the ellerslie road stand is beyond ridiculous ! Who in there right mind would queue up for 20 mins and have to miss 10 to 15 mins of the game either side of half time to pay what ? £6 for a bottle fking carlsberg while people push in and out trying to go for a p!ss
I mean , can it be that hard to set up a couple of stalls - beer only , contactless payment only …bosh bosh bosh no fcking about , no waiting for someone to order 2 cups of tea , a pie , bovril etc
The food you can’t do much about as we have no space for gourmet lunches so has to be quick and easy pie or hot dog in a bag sort of stuff

I tend not to eat or drink inside Loftus Road these days, maybe a bovril if it's really cold, but last season I got there and I hadn't eaten all day. Had a look and saw they did cheesy chips, and thought to myself, well they can't fck that up. I was wrong

It helps if the chips are hot enough for the cheese to melt rather than just sit there on top of lukewarm chips.
