catering

[saintroyt]

Was in the itchen yesterday and starving at half time so reluctantly went to the food bar ordered a cheese burger and took the bag to the sauce stand opened it to find no cheese in it.So went back and ask for cheese with many other fans who were asking for cheese ,all to be told that they had run out of cheese what the bloody hell is going on

selling product that isn't what is says on the tin and no price change or staff informing customers .Can't see burger king or mc donalds getting away with that

[Bucks Saint]

Careful, you will be shouted down and abused for wanting to eat at a football ground, and for having something that was not gourmet quality.

[eharty9]

Our season must be going well if people are moaning about no cheese in their burger

[John Boy Saint]

Hang on while I pour myself a drink and recline in a comfy chair, before watching this one go off!!

There is a subtle difference between Southampton FC and Burger King or McDonalds, can you guess what it might be?

[Mattio]

My nephew got a burger yesterday which had some disgusting relish ****e in it, god knows why they think people want that crap in their burger, isn't that what the sauce bit is for?

[Hamwic]

See how standards have slipped since the departure of Lowe and his merry men? I remember being told by him frequently that we had the best catering in the beautiful game. This is obviously not a priority for the current regime who seem focussed on silly things like winning football matches.

[sandwichsaint]

I had a pie yesterday, it was excellent. (I was out from 8-30 am to 7-00 pm and it was all I had all day so I'm allowed to eat at the football).

[Colinjb]

The lesson, if you are going to eat an overpriced crappy burger at football at least be sure to get it from the vendor vans around the ground. Any burger that comes in a bag is asking for trouble!

 

That they will happily take extra money for something they knowingly cannot provide is quite scandalous however! In the grander scheme of things it's what, 20/30p or so between a burger and cheese burger? It is however you dress it up though; theft.

i wish i could of been there to see the cheese riots! Did anyone get video?

[Ulrich van Gobbel]

The worst thing is the plastic cheese they use..

 

Where is the Gruyère FFS? Surely Cortese can do a deal with a Swiss cheese supplier?

 

We'll be the laughing stock of the Champions League next season for our poor catering and budget cheese.

[Golden Balls]

Yet to go to a ground with worse food than ours.

After the amazing food I tried at Sunderland last season, it's pretty shoddy coming to St Marys and seeing the standard of food at nearly double their prices.

Carlisle was horrendous, tbf. Our pies are alright, the lad stood next to me yesterday had a cheeseburger and it looked (and smelled) ****ing revolting

Now when it comes to complying with trades descriptions etc there isn't.

To run out of something on offer is annoying but understandable. To take a customers money and palm them off with something they haven't ordered with no explanation is very poor customer service at best, a breach of the sale of goods act at worst.

Having said that why any one would pay the sort of money charged for the quality of food on offer is beyond me.

I have never eaten at anything St Marys, can you guess why?

(answer: it's usually crap)

Agreed and if you did ever you'd know what you were getting. An at best microwave heated burger or pie thats been sweating under lights for hours. Quite why people expect anything more than that is beyond me. I find it astonishing the amount of people who seem to determined to eat as much as possible as soon as they set foot inside a football stadium.

Always makes me laugh that they confiscate bottle tops on the excuse the bottle could be used as a weapon and then serve rock hard pastries that knock your eye out if they hit you...

I know, it's that one of them doesn't think there needs to be cheese in a cheeseburger despite charging for it.

[mynameisthehulk]

This would have never been allowed to happen under Lowe!

[solentstars]

Foods rubbish compared to a lot of grounds so I have not bought any for the last.4 years and rather buy outside .

I don't eat inside St Mary's, ever sine the 2010 season when I bought a hot dog in a baguette, carried it to my seat but it fell out the bottom of the bag halfway up the steps.

 

If they can't be arsed to seal their food bags properly, they don't deserve a penny of my money.

 

:-D

[Marsdinho]

Weird, at half time, I ordered a burger and specifically asked the vendor NOT to put any cheese in it. When I got back to my mates, i opened it up and found that it had 49 slices of cheese in it and NO BURGER!!!

 

Loads of people around me were giving me evils....I swear that one bloke was going to attack me just for a slice of cheese.

 

You wouldn't see Cheese'r'us or McCheese getting away with putting no burgers in their burgers.

[Golden Balls]

I find it astonishing that you can't get your head around the fact that other people do things different to you. But then, it wouldn't make for a good wind up I suppose.

 

Still, nobody (despite your claims) expects fantastic food. They just expect something that is at least average. Just like at every other ground I've been to.

 

Nothing will beat Newcastles burgers!

[alpine_saint]

You git, you beat me to it.

[Griffo]

Can't complain about the pukka pies at all. Once I've had one chicken balti then that opens the flood gates. I could eat about 5 of them.

[Wes Tender]

All the fuss about the lack of the slice of cheese is probably misplaced anyway, as it is perfectly possible that the thin yellow slice of "foodstuff" that you assume would be cheese, might feasibly contain no cheese in it at all. Certainly the probability is that even if it did contain some actual cheese during the manufacturing processing of the product, that it still could not be called cheese, but a cheese product

 

The caterers are probably doing you a favour healthwise by leaving it out.

And a very amusing article about other stuff that you might also eat elsewhere,if you're the sort of person to partake of Burgers in a football stadium catering outlet.

catering at football used to be a packet of crisps and a warm pint,in a bar no bigger than my living room in the Milton

[adrian lord]

Well I thoroughly enjoyed my prawn and crayfish sandwiches, washed down with a dry, flinty, rather elegant prosecco. So much so that I missed both the goals.

I sit behind a guy who clearly does eat about five of them, he should pay for one and half season tickets and the bloke next to him for half of one.

[Lord Duckhunter]

The food at SMS is ****e.

 

The Beer at SMS is ****e.

 

If somebody has to eat it or drink it, then that's their choice, but why keep coming on here telling everybody what we already know? It's not as if anybody is going to post "thanks for that, I was going to eat there next game but wont now". There's no football next weekend and I'm going to watch my local pub team at the Rec. I know they'll be ****e before I set off, so what's the point in moaning about the lack of premiership skills on show.

 

It's like Masterchef on here sometimes.

[Saint]

I'm just annoyed that they no longer offer aftershave in the toilets.

 

Disgraceful.

 

I got a pedicure at West Brom last season.

[sotonjoe]

Jeez. Can't you lot go 90mins without shovelling junk into your fat faces?

I've aired my disgust on Tripadvisor. St Mary's stadium may be #7 on the attractions list but it's now #443 out of #443 for catering.

 

Number #442 is the place that serves turd in a bun.

 

 

 

(The above statements have no basis of fact and are here for amusement or ridicule only. Tripadvisor is a useful tool and should not be abused in this way.)

On a serious note though (!) what are the burgers in the vans outside made of? They're clearly very low quality.

unless your a steward on the steps in the Northam 40 stood at about row x , same guy involved last week in the hip flask incident then you can keep a bottle of sports drink and the top on it in your pocket! lol
