i've never had any problems with the level of service, they're all just young kids, and yes i know most of them have to do any counting by using the till and not their heads they don't have the calculators they used in school maths but they all seem to be polite enough but i do wish they would cut back on the amount of different items for sale(thus cutting queues accordingly) pie/bovril/water/chocolate bar/crisps and that's all :)

The caterers who are Centreplate serve many football grounds in the U.K. It makes you wonder if we have squeezed them so tight that they serve us a low quality cheap product that they don’t use at other grounds?

The Herta dogs were far better than the ***** on offer today! They had a very healthy girth to them whereas the last time I had one it was built like a bookies pen

Well there is a few things that they could do..first off is to get different people serving to those on the till...the amount of backwards and forwards the kids need to do to get a few items and then ring them up takes a bloody age.
The next thing they could do is to improve the pies. That really really can’t be difficult.
Speed up the service (more money through the tills) and improve the pies and you are a big step forward without really even trying.
There is plenty of other things they could do. Stand alone pie stand where all you can buy is a pie would take the pressure off the main kiosks would be my first ‘innovation’. Next would be contactless payment etc etc etc.
As others have said this situation has went on far too long and the club should sort it out without the need for boycotts or direct action.

I see folk at sporting events round the world commenting on stadium food on social media and the prices are universally high. The difference seems to be in the quality and variety of food available. Also they can get a beer.
I rarely eat or drink at ER apart from occasionally at lunchtime kick offs. The pies are bog standard as is the Bovril.

Strangely I had my first ER pie for a few seasons on Thursday. Both me and my son were shocked by the doughy pastry and tasteless filling.
Even the cheapest scotch pie from a supermarket tastes way better than that, so this must be the cheapest of the cheap and got knows what's in there. The mark up must be massive too.
Hibs supporters deserve way better for the prices being charged.

I remember the days of the Macaroon Bars.
Great value. Sold by a bloke with a tray with shoulder straps moving through the crowd.
Can't really remember anybody complaining.
Now it's all high tech and 'hot' food and we have a five page thread on it.
Changed days.

I knew I would regret it but I was starving and I hadn't taken my own food as I normally do. Bought chips a few months ago and I can only liken them to wooden clothes pegs. They were absolutely rank. Never again.

I bought a pie and a coke yesterday and was just as disappointing as always unfortunately. The Coke was a bit flat and the pie was undercooked with mounds of flour still sitting on the top :-(

The curry pies are something else

Catering is still pitiful and overpriced and no further feedback from fans reps.

Got a bovril and a steak pie in South before KO and it was pretty decent. Able to lift out case and eat without pie falling apart like I’ve had on occasion in West Upper, and bovril was perfectly acceptable.

should be in a contract that certain levels of quality are expected, at my work, if yi dont keep up standards you are dumped immediately, its all in the contract, no excuses. theres always other companies willing to take over that were in the tender process at the beginning.

I have to say that I have had the pie-bad-stuck-to-foil a fair few times , but yesterday I was a tad peckish and bought 2 steak pies, and both were decent, not stuck to the wrapper and not hot to eat comfortably. Dunno if it was a fluke but better than I had in the past.

Football grounds are always the same, piss poor quality at ridiculous prices.

It’s poor and it has been for years. Despite people say it will get looked into it never does. We should boycott it until something gets done.

The best food I've had at the football was at the Etihad and it was markedly cheaper than ER. I've mentioned before about how they do it. All food is served by various charity workers and the profits go to various local charities, the menu was thought up by Jamie Oliver and the choice was unbelievable. There's no reason something similar couldn't be done at ER.

The steak pie I had yesterday was rotten. £3.20 for a bag of fruit pastilles or maltasers?
