The Catering

edited January 2012 in General Charlton
Had a pretty manky quarter pounder with cheese yesterday.
Wouldn't it be nice to have some Indian, Chinese, Thai stalls like the ones in Greenwich market.

  • You get what you pay for. Football stadia are not the place where you expect fine cuisine. Have lunch beforehand somewhere or at home..
  • I don't want fine cuisine but at £3.25 a pop i expect something a bit decent. I did have lunch at home but i'm a greedy b/stard.
  • lol £3,25 is cheap for Charlton catering. You seen how much they charge for hot drinks?! Thieving b*stards. Try a pie next time - they seem to be popular. COYR
  • Stick to the pies, the burgers are awful
  • The ques are a joke
  • It's very expensive and average at best, but if you are hungry at half time it's nice to be able to get hot food.
  • Must be doing alright in the league people have reverted to moaning about the food.
  • Sunday Moan before the football on tv.
  • What football on TV?
  • Burgers in the east stand on the slope used to be fit.

    Since i moved to the west 2 years ago the ones outside the north stand are average..

  • Odd experience yesterday. I bought a pint of lager and handed over a tenner. The guy that served me entered £5 on the till register. I noticed this, and told him that it was a tenner not a fiver, at which point he called over his supervisor to cancel the sale and put the correct amount in. I told him that that was unnecessary and that all he had to do was add five pounds onto my change, the result would be the same, but without any messing about. I then had three of them arguing that that would put the till out. Am I missing something? No wonder the service is so slow.
  • The service is useless and the food/drink terrible quality and ridiculously overpriced.

    It is so badly done I'm pretty sure the revenue it provides must be fairly minuscule or the club would sort it out.
  • Do the catering company just pay the club X amount a year to serve food and drink and they keep all profits?
  • Sad to see in Bart's and the concourses how much money we do ourselves out of each week because the service cant cope. Cant blame the people working as they graft non stop but there must be a better system as we must lose out on hundreds if not thousands each week in lost revenue with people giving up on getting served.
  • First easy solution was to make all items 1, 2 or 3 quid to save the buggering about with small change.

  • Could even have an oyster card type thing loaded up with cash
  • I guess it depends on the margins made. We're always reading how pubs makes so very little profit on a £3.00 pint a lager so perhaps no point the club bothering
  • We're cheap compared to Fulham. Dick Turpin served me at the Cottage...
  • Even more reason to maximise volume of sales then id say.
  • Food has huge profit margins thats why shops are all becoming Kebab/indian etc.

  • It doesn't have massive margins for outlets that only open once a week though. The fixed costs are the same but the returns are small.
  • Two gorgeous women working in North upper yesterday, bubbly one serving, the other pouring.
  • Go on a diet
  • I can't believe our club struggle to potentially serve 20,000 people in a 15 minute period. Poor, poor, poor :-)
  • Agree the food quality is pretty bad, I had a burger at half time as I was feeling a bit dknur and it was one of those where you could feel it slowly making it way down when you swallowed a chunk.

    It doesn't actually cost that much more to produce food with fresh ingredients, and of course the increase in sales volume would more than make up for that. But your staff costs would practically double as you'd have to have a prep kitchen. It's a lot of work to cater for thousands of people - Not forgetting that these people who have to be chefs rather than catering outlet assistants or whatever they're currently called, further increasing costs.

    Can't ever see it happening. Captive audience and all that.

    But a high-quality van outside the ground would do a roaring trade.
  • Chunes
    that's what i was thinking, outside or inside behind the east stand some quality thai or chinese.

    Love a proper moan up
  • Our burgers must be the worst on the country - They really are vile.

    The brunette one pouring caught me giving it a 'ppwwwooaaaarrr'

    Very nice. Very nice indeed
