New catering

I was never a Bradford ender. But I do remember that the meat and potato pies used to be really excellent. I still like my Bovril at half time in the winter months.

But I had hoped that things might have moved on a bit from burgers and hot dogs. Nothing wrong with them, if they're good quality and I'm in the right mood, but I'd hope there is more choice than that.

 

Got hit on back of head by a pie stood on kop
Littlewoods cup q/final v Bristol city 1989
Stunned me for a few seconds.
Not sure of the type of pie.

 

Well I think the guy that owns Tiffins also has the City Vaults, The Old Bank, Ginger Goose and The Lord Clyde so he has access to some good ales so why not?

 

He does, and Tiffin Sandwiches, Tiffin Coffee, The Headley Venue at Headley Golf Course & A company called Centenary Square Ltd which appear to be a real estate Co so possibly owns the banana building in Centenary Sq/ City Park ?

 

The “old” meat and potatoe pies were flippin excellent at VP in the 60-70’s Then they went to those plastic wrapped things that “steamed” in the packet. Floppy horrible mess.

Yes GOOD quality stuff is of prime importance. If more choice means poorer quality as opposed to less choice and top quality….give me less choice any day. It’s a balance the have to find for “one handed food” .

 

I wasn't in Bradford in the 60s & 70s (hence my username). Started watching regularly in the 1985 promotion season and always on the kop until I switched to C block main stand a few years back.
I don't remember the brand, or whether they were cellophane wrapped, but I do remember eating excellent meat & potato pies at VP in the 80s & 90s - very tasty, with a nice peppery flavour. If the 60s & 70s pies were better then they must have been something special.
Yes, I agree that quality is of prime importance. Choice is no good if the food is poor. But I was hoping we might have got some decent samosas, kebabs etc along with the burgers and hot dogs.

 

A couple ................................

 

I'd hope not, thinking about it they may not do that kind of catering, no problem my brass wil stay in my pocket.

 

If we can get those business back and having faith in our club once again Davide & Ryan can pursue other outlets to generate money.

 

Are you sure it was a pie and not a rock bum .

 

Absolutely agree. Samosas are one of the easiest to make, keep warm and sell. Yum!

 

You mean "Bantam Samosas"

 

Can’t tell a lie - it wor me and Tom.
We still have a right laugh about it to this day….when we are sat together at the cricket.

 

Well...At least tell him what kind of bloody pie it was then!!!

 

Balti.

 

I seem to recall they were Fleur de Lys pies back then......how sad am I

Rock BUM??? . Plenty of those hit Top of the Pops Dave

 

Thats em…….bloody crap microwaved in their cellophane. You could pour the pie out of the bag!?
