I saw one stall outside recently and they were selling sweet potatoe fries. It really annoyed me.
Why?

I usually get a steakburger with onions from one of the stalls outside the ground. £5.50, and lovely they are. At the Bruce Springsteen concert I gave the stall owner a very gentle ribbing for having put his prices up by £1 for the occasion, and he absolutely insisted on only charging me the usual amount.

That comes across as a little 'unhinged'.

Maybe VillaTim was upset as he loves them but had already pigged out on a double tofu and advocado burger.

Why?

The superfluous ’e’ I assume.

The food is mediocre at best, warm burger, giant hot dog and nachos with liquid cheese.

This is both the most predictable and the most depressing part about this LG as an offer, they think we're that stupid, we'll think it's a proper premium experience eating largely the same shit you can get elsewhere in the ground but, hey, you can have as much of it as you want.

If the food were of a decent quality, they'd have a leg to stand on.

They have liquid cheese?

I take it all back, where do I sign?

Yeah I’ll try a pint too.

It’s a joke really but everything catering wise within the general area of the ground is. We had a wonder around last week before the game. The stalls all around the ground were double cheeseburger for £9 or £9.50.

The pints at the stalls outside the back of the Holte were something like £5.90 for a pint of pale ale.

Everything is a fucking rip off but yet you’ve still got people queuing. I don’t get it. Use the chippies a quarter of a mile away or eat before you leave the house.

In terms of beers, unless you go to a spoons or you have a reasonably priced local or go to a social club, 5-6 quid of pint is the norm now unfortunately, even more in town.
The price of the beers dont really piss me off in or just outside the ground, just the lack of management of the whole service issue (e.g. the well versed moan of the kids behind the bar pouring one pint at a time). The new tab and go bar in the lower holte is better for this, in terms of lining them up.

A very normal snack all over Asia, mind 😂

I'm not a massive fan, but drench them in Tabasco mayonnaise and I'll eat them!

I have to say £5-£6 a pint has really priced me out of drinking regularly.  Not that I can't afford it.  I just don't want to hand over that kind of money for a pint.  It's ridiculous.

the days of not even getting 4 pints for £20 is madness, so I know what you mean HolteL2

By all means have a go at the developments in the Holte Suite and Liwer Grounds but not Sweet Potato Chips. At least I'm now classed as a hipster. Only took 61 years on this planet..

do you have a ginger beard, round rimmed glasses, chequed shirts and a vape? if not, you are technically not a hipster
