£4 a hotdog

**GreenCastle** · 23-03-2015 03:10 PM

Anyone see the stall in the East?

While I am all for improving the food and service at ER - this is just mental

Someone from the club needs to sort the catering out - been shocking service and quality for too long.

Disclaimer - this is nothing to do with how the team played or why we lost - but surely fan experience should be No1 on the list for those in charge?!

I took a picture of that stall and sent it to mates. They've the cheek to advertise it as if its a good deal!

Fwiw I actually enjoy the pies at Easter road even if they are ridiculously over priced!

best careful how they do so though. Just read a leading case for contract law for uni, lindley catering v hibs from 1975.

If Leanne could get the food sorted it would be excellent. If a chippy can see a half pizza for 2 quid and a bakers do a mince pie for £1.50, Hibs should be able too

**Ozyhibby** · 23-03-2015 03:32 PM

The catering set up at Hibs is under review just now. Expect changes for next season.

**21.05.2016** · 23-03-2015 03:36 PM

Poor quality food for ridiculous prices.

Great news!

£4 a hot dog

Utterly scandalous.

**The_Exile** · 23-03-2015 03:43 PM

They could do with having a word with the staff, dunno who employs them but the lassie in the FF lower yesterday at the till I was queing at refused to serve anybody else in the line whilst the lassie at the front waited for her hamburger. There's nothing more frustrating in life knowing you've picked the wrong queue to stand in

I can get a tin of 8 hot dogs for 49p out of Asda.

So if my maths is any good I could get about 64 hotdogs for the price of one from ER

**macca70** · 23-03-2015 03:48 PM

There was a little random trolley set up in a corner in the FF Lower Concourse selling just mince pies, Ribena and Capri sun.

Saved having to stand in the big queue.

£2.20 for a mince pie is mental, folk pay it though and as long as we continue to do sol, nothing will be done about it.

I would definitely advise against eating 64 Asda hotdogs in one go. Unless you are raising money for a good cause or something.

Especially the 49p "mechanically recovered chicken" ones I looked at

If the drinks ban is lifted we can look forward to a plastic pint of Carlsberg and a hot dog for less than a tenner! You know it makes sense.

***Oscar T Grouch*** · 23-03-2015 04:15 PM

I don't know how anyone eats these things. Seriously, the meat is recovered from chicken carcasses by mincing them up and squeezing them until the protein come out, it's them mixed with rusk and shaped into hotdogs. Ever wondered why they are a bit 'gritty'? That's the chicken bone you can feel. Even better quality hotdogs are full of chemically extracted meat.

The food on offer is unhealthy and expensive. The disappointing thing for me yesterday was that there was no soup. The last three home games the West stand has been selling half decent lentil soup, overpriced but better than anything else on offer. It was selling well enough because at two of the games there was none left at half time.

Next you'll be telling me that my Bernard Matthews' Golden Drummers aren't 100% turkey breast.

😉 shhhh don't tell everyone. If a meat item says reshaped anywhere on the packet, I tend to avoid it. Drummers I am sure are 100% breast meat, but it'll be the breast meat left on the carcass once the butchers done with it nom nom

That's exactly it - if folk are daft enough to pay it why would they stop charging it?

Supply and demand - it's not compulsory to buy anything from the food stalls.

Was down south recently and got 2 pints of cider and a burger for 8 quid. Unfortunately, the time I took to consume meant I missed 2 goals but still a very reasonable deal.

I wouldn't feed them to my dug if I had one. 6p each and Asda have to make a profit as well as the producer. I'd hate to think what they have in them.

And go 2 hours without eating? Are you ****ing mad?!

This argument is kind of like the one that goes "I can buy a bottle of Becks for £0.99 at Tesco - how come this boozer is charging £2.99 for the same thing".

If it's £1.50 for a pie at the bakers, then £2.20 isn't too bad. I was actually feeling a bit decadent when I treated myself to one yesterday, but now I just feel cheap.

I haven't bought food in the stadium for easily 10 years.

It looks horrendous and the cost of it is a farce.

Surely they can do better and then more people would buy it? Not looking for anything fancy just something you don't feel you are getting ripped off.

They should trial a few different options or even just read the feedback theh have received and sort it out - at least when you go to Killie or Dunfermline you could get a decent pie even if the football on show was rubbish.

I actually like the idea of mini stalls to ease congestion but needs better thought.
