Food at Villa Park
« on: August 04, 2010, 07:14:47 PM »
When Randy and Co took over, they asked us, the fans. what we wanted at VP in terms of grub.

Now, I am of the persuasion that we eat too much crap in the Western world and would love to see Villa selling a more health concious food range.

Does anyone agree, or is crap food just part of football come coronary or not !

PS, The Sushi / Salad wraps is a bit of a joke, but you know what I mean, healthier.

Going by most people on here, we'd have the entire ground stinking of curry.  

I wouldn't mind one bit but i'm sure some prefer the more 'traditional' football fayre of Baguettes du Monde (Rodders) and those hot dogs on a stick.  If it was down to me, i'd get Azims in to do the matchday catering.

I don't go to the footy to eat and cannot see that changing in the future.

I get a decent meal in town beforehand and a curry at the end of the night.  Happy days.

I know we have limited resources\and a football food culture, but suggestions may help.

Lack of transfer activity is covered extensively on here and many many other parts of the world wide web.

The food and drinks are overpriced and shit. This is the norm in any entertainment venue, sadly.

Saying that, I can't help but buy a balti pie every time I go.

We always approach The Holte up Witton Lane so that we can hurl abuse at Dave but that route takes us past the outpouring of the extract fans servicing the food preparation areas.   Those fumes if containerized could be used to disperse riots.

Read the Season Review and every set of fans in Scotland seems obsessed with Kilmarnock's pies, they must be amazing.

I think they tried to offer a healthier option... namely a baked potato van, but it was stopped on (ironically) health and safety grounds.

Personally, I never see the point in queueing for burgers at Villa Park when you can get them with much less hassle outside the ground.

I occasionally eat the food at reserve / youth games when there's not much of a crowd and it's fine.

Prefer Bolton's pies though.

The best food I have had at Villa Park is the Balti Pie from the Holte Suite. That was before they started charging season tickets holders £97 to get in ("but you get a programme"... "there's two of us, we don't need a programme each it's not that exciting a read"..."err, but you get a programme").

All i ever usually buy from the kiosk is  either a Mars Bar or a Yorkie but if i do have cooked food i just have a portion of chips so i am fairly happy.
