Who gives a excrement about the burger van.

Get your mum to make you a nice sandwich and take it in your packed lunch box if you don't like the food at the ground and feel the need to eat there.

Actually, who the hell can complain about the quality of a burger van anyway, its a burger van FFS not a Gordon Ramsay restaurant.

Well if that's true then sorry no harm meant.

My point was that a burger van is what it is, if you're wanting quality food you don't go to a burger van.

I should think you're probably still drunk off that we haven't won today and are venting your anger at something you wouldn't have on another day.

I've never minded the burgers really, tasted a lot worse and it isn't like the ones from Maccies next door are high quality food either but yeah, they are a rip off.  £2.50 for a beef burger is bad enough but £3.50 for a cheese burger is just going too far. A quid extra for a flipping slice of cheese! Madness!  ;D

As of the next home game only food from the burger vans will be allowed inside the ground. The owner has complained. To the club and stewards have been asked to confiscate food brought in from outside of the ground! That's the youth squad stuffed for a start n all those with McDs in the stands!

We should get the caterers at Kidderminster to take over at BP. The food there was amazing, It was like a takeaway, lamb curry, beef curry, chicken chow mein, pork baps and soup that you needed a fork to eat it as it was packed full of lumps of veg and meat and plenty more.

Not sure if it's the same one as I never use them but there was a similar one parked up at the gypsy camp at the end of the M180.

So I wouldn't trust one of their burgers especially as the number of ponies tethered up seems to have gone down.

How come the club can't make a profit from in house catering? I seem to recall reading here it would have meant kitting out all the outlets with stainless stell work surfaces etc, but surely they can make a good income from food? Especially with the nisa connections and that...

And this ladies and gentlemen is   "FOOD TOWN".      It's almost unbelievable.


We've surely got some enterprising butchers in town that could come up with some decent pies and burgers, in the little village where I live there is one who does all those and cracking good sausages too.    What about John Pettit,doesn't he produce such things,I know he was instrumental in getting his Linconshire sausages into London shops.

as for banning mac d's, the stewards will be bolloxed, they all go out to maccies for a brew at half time, or send someone to brig a load back...

There is a very simple answer to the sh1t food at BP. DON'T BUY IT.  The footy is between 3pm and 5pm so you could have dinner (or lunch to you posh tw@ts) before you go, and tea (or dinner to you posh tw@ts) when you get home.   No demand = no product.

Incidently my first experience of Balti pies was at Bradford many years ago. Half time and the only pies they had left were Balti.  "Balti, Balti !!!What the fuk is that" ? !!  Tell you what it was.  It was one of the best pies I have ever had.

Why the hostility towards to initial post?  

This is just another example of how poorly run the club is and also how many fans have accepted poor service and/or quality over the last few years.  

Just because we are a non league club doesn't mean we have to put up with non league facilaities, does it?  Only recently FiveStar has gone public with this we must have faith speech and how the club needs stability and be sustainable.  Well how about allowing some initial outlay to be used to get the pre-exisint facilities upto required standards and get some decent food made ala Kidderminster.  I don't think it would take too long to get the money back and start making a profit.  

Instead we allow the pre existing kiosks to become unusable and stand their geting rotten whislt we ship out to some fairly rubbish company that fails to spell cheese, and, provides a crappy product at over the top prices (sound familiar).

In fact, the whole thing sounds familiar, money isn't spent in the right areas and we end up bringing something in  without an affinity to the club that takes our money and lets us down.

Those who are dismissing this as trivial are in a way correct, but back to my earlier point, we shouldn't be accepting anything substandard in Blundell Park - whether that be stewarding, beer, food, or, the football. We let this go and next thing the bars are outsourced, and something else and something else all with not a single sign of it being for the better, or just as importantly, the money coming back to the club.

All those further up saying that the gentleman should either take pack up or wait a couple of hours.  Well that isn't always an option if people have come straight form work, or football, or elsewhere.  Those saying he should go to Maccies - yes let's encourage our fans not to spend their money inside Blundell Park!  I know the kiosks are a seperatle entity but surely this is another example of the club losing money.  No wonder the budget looks so bad and we hope for a cup run if we can't even make some money on selling decent grub!

All those further up saying that the gentleman should either take pack up or wait a couple of hours.  Well that isn't always an option if people have come straight form work, or football, or elsewhere.  Those saying he should go to Maccies - yes let's encourage our fans not to spend their money inside Blundell Park!  I know the kiosks are a seperatle entity but surely this is another example of the club losing money.  No wonder the budget looks so bad and we hope for a cup run if we can't even make some money on selling decent grub!

Why the hostility towards to initial post?  

This is just another example of how poorly run the club is and also how many fans have accepted poor service and/or quality over the last few years.  

Just because we are a non league club doesn't mean we have to put up with non league facilaities, does it?  Only recently FiveStar has gone public with this we must have faith speech and how the club needs stability and be sustainable.  Well how about allowing some initial outlay to be used to get the pre-exisint facilities upto required standards and get some decent food made ala Kidderminster.  I don't think it would take too long to get the money back and start making a profit.  

Instead we allow the pre existing kiosks to become unusable and stand their geting rotten whislt we ship out to some fairly rubbish company that fails to spell cheese, and, provides a crappy product at over the top prices (sound familiar).

In fact, the whole thing sounds familiar, money isn't spent in the right areas and we end up bringing something in  without an affinity to the club that takes our money and lets us down.

I would only correct one thing, the van will have to have tendered for the site so he will be paying the club.

What went wrong, well at a guess (and it is a guess) the guy tendered too high so he's trying to make his profit out of buying crap ingredients and flogging them at a high price.   You apparently can get a happy meal and a drink at McDees for the same price as the burger van is selling a cheeseburger.
I might say that I consider neither of the above to be decent food and prefer my Haddock and chips from the local chippie before I set off for the game. Can't beat a decent haddock. However some of the junior Icenians have been known to risk botulism by munching a pie.

I'm sure the club did follow procurement rules and the best (in terms of value for money and quality) tender subsequently won the right to sell food at the ground and the club receives an appropiate fee.

I suspect one of John's mates was offered the contract for a small fee :) - this of course is only alleged and my opinion.

Also I would agree that the fish and chips option would be far better, why couldn't we go a step better than Rochdael and have a chippy within the ground?  Obviously not in the wooden end though!

Forget the Burger Van and Mc D’s.

Three John Turner Pork Pies does the trick for me at any Home or Away game.

To be air the lad is right, the food is shite and over priced! Kidderminsters food was very good, £4 may not sound cheap but taste wise the cottage pie was fantastic.

Why can't youngs sell Mariners Pies at BP and other fish related meals? Suppose there will be a reason.

But folks take one look at me and pour their hearts out.   I was told three times at the last game that the stuff cost too much and was rubbish. I thought one of them was winding me up when he said the bloke in the van went to McDs for his grub but someone on here confirmed it.
You see I actually care that those that want it can get good food we are afterall FOODTOWN. If the little things aren't right what bloody chance have the things that really matter of being put right. Folks expect to have a good experiance going to a footymatch,so if the foods rubbish and the games not much better then you end up having a hell of a job convincing folks that a trip to BP is worth anything at all nevermind 14/18 quid.

Sorry mate, think you are getting the undercooked burger mixed up with the underperforming team!

Exactly. This is something the club should really capitalise on. For better or worse, people think fish when they come to Grimsby. Might as well try and flog them to it. Just like the Rushden do (did?) with Doctor martens.

Its odd that only a few years ago The Lincolnshire Echo was praising the food at Blundell Park.

Quoted from Civvy at last
There is a very simple answer to the sh1t food at BP. DON'T BUY IT.  The footy is between 3pm and 5pm so you could have dinner (or lunch to you posh tw@ts) before you go, and tea (or dinner to you posh tw@ts) when you get home.   No demand = no product.

Incidently my first experience of Balti pies was at Bradford many years ago. Half time and the only pies they had left were Balti.  "Balti, Balti !!!What the fuk is that" ? !!  Tell you what it was.  It was one of the best pies I have ever had.  


Wot no tiffin or supper? :) ;)
