You are correct on all counts. They also run the Tiffin Coffee houses which are really nice.

They did have a deal agreed and a company set up with James Mason until Edin scuppered the relationship. That damage has taken some repairing but it's great to see a brilliant local brand working with the club

Bring it on!

 

School St corner…happy days

 

Can't disagree with that at all, Tiffin are a fantastic example of a company putting their heart and soul into Bratfud.

One thing I would point out though is he really needs his pubs to have the same standard as each other. City Vaults, superb adherence to Covid rules, good distancing, brilliant table top service. Won't mention the name of the other but its also owned by Doug McLean and they had NO table service, no sign in and punters getting beers at the bar.

If June 21st is put back two months (as seems to be possible) none of these will be open at the start of the season.

 

Will second that!

 

Donner kebab with chips in a tray

 

Don't forget Wagon wheels..

 

And a bag of sports mix for 10p

 

Whole list of deals ideas etc scuppered by edin or others, one by one they are coming back to fruition, credit to ryan but no new ideas here yet

 

I think this contract is for both

 

Think so, but the same company (or company within their group) run the Headley Venue at Headley golf course and do it exceptionally well so I would expect the banqueting offering to improve dramatically

 

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.

 

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?

 

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.

 

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

 

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

 

Balti.

 

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

 

Not the biggest love of Carling myself either but 3.80 a pint ain’t bad for those that like it. Can’t grumble with that price really
