Food quality at the Valley

I don’t like to have a moan especially after a great performance but I think the food behind the counters inside the Valley is appalling.

I had a sausage roll and it was dry as anything and quite frankly it was one of the worst ones I’ve had. A mate of mine had 1 bite of the Pizza and it was cooked underdone that he had to get his money back. He had a hot dog instead and it wasn’t any good neither.

I’m not sure if any of you have the same opinion of the food but if you do maybe I’ll contact the club to raise this issue?

    The food is not only appalling, it's expensive, which is why there's always a long queue at the burger van and other eateries near the ground. It's a mickey-take.

    Just go the pies! Exactly what you'd buy in any supermarket but warmed up and twice the price.

    I dont know, my Langoustine Fettucini and Steak Tartare from the West Stand booth  closest to the right hand bog, were both magnificent and perfectly complimented by the Chateau Margeaux and Bovril. Perhaps you were just unlucky.

    When will people learn. It’s been like dog shit for years. Bring back Wrestlers boiled burgers, that’s what I say

    It doesn't even feel right to call it 'food'. It's not made to be enjoyed.

    I gave up years ago buying food at football grounds. It is absolute shite, it is not food.
    The hygiene standard I have witness (not just at CAFC) but across the board are little short of criminal.

    Shame Exeter City can’t get promoted - the sausage rolls, pasties and pies in the ground were top notch.

    I posted earlier today on the Fans' Bar thread re ensuring (? ) your issues with the catering at The Valley reach the ears of the Club. 

    Maybe the way to let those concerned  know that the yellow card shown to G & G after the Watford game has sadly failed to hit the spot ?

    I very rarely buy food in football grounds but had a balti pie at Crawley last season and it was the business

    haven’t bought food at a game for probably 15-20 years and certainly wouldn’t get anything at the Valley. Food looks disgusting and isn’t cheap either

    Took the family for the first time and went to the Fan Zone to buy lunch and make the most of the day.
    The burgers, chicken nuggets, fries and bacon rolls were all overcooked and very expensive.
    I put this on the post match survey.
