LCFC food service

[RoboFox]

The LCFC food thread is "hot".

 

Oh, the irony. 

[ScrumpyJack]

Nice if the club got local breweries in on rotation. Proper nice local stuff now, and will help their community outreach programmes. Charnwood Brewery, Langton, Anstey Ale.

[Raj]

Doesnt these issues get discussed on the fans forums?

Who's on that nowadays...tell them to contact the club if no other Avenue prevails

It's embarrassing how poor it is. If we're spending £100m on the training ground and probably a similar amount (if not more) on expansion, we can't hide behind "muh big Compass catering contract" anymore.  Locally sourced food and beer would be a huge boon to Leicestershire companies but instead we get prison slop at premium prices, served by staff that have all the vigour of somebody that's just came around from spinal surgery.

 

If I could get a pint of Braybrooke (or other local beer) and a pie for something close to approaching decent value, say a tenner even, I'd likely get into the ground early to do so. Instead I do my best to avoid ever having to buy something from the concourse.

The ques are so long and slow because the staff genuinely can’t use a pair of tongues and don’t know the difference between a pie & a sausage roll! 
 

Tbf that’s no way to handle food in this day and age 👅 

[Daggers]

You sit there and chaps pour you a litre or two at your seat in Caracas, while another soul lobs you your food from a fair few rows away - and you don’t have to settle the bill till almost the end of the game. It is all kinds of great. Until they do that here I’m staying with not bothering during matches.

This thread is excellent reading. Some of the comments are very imaginative and hilarious - and I agree with pretty much all of them.

 

Its utter slop, the ale / beer is getting worse and the poor saps who serve it are what Martin O’Neill described Ken Bates as.

This is basically what the service feels like at the KP concourse:

I've never had a problem having found that I can manage for a couple of hours without beer and a pie. Weird, I know, but that's just me.

Comes up so regularly. This sort of stuff and pre match music etc. Its turned into lip service and tick box fan engagement thing, nothing gets changed.

[HybridFox]

Singha sh*** all over Chang. Shame they changed it tbh

I went to Brighton away a few years ago. They had LCFC videos on the TV and they put on Everards Tiger in the away end - brilliant. And their pies were excellent too. I’m not one for spending money in football stadiums on food and drink - but I did that day.

Instead of rushing just to queue up anyway at the station, you can have a pint post match and wait for the crowd to die down, it’s great.

 

People moan about Brighton being an out of town ground but it’s not really that different to Villa or United.

Food and stuff at Forest  Green is amazing apparently..and better still its Vegan!!!😎

LCFC in a nutshell

[Blackboots only]

Don’t normally bother buying beer or food at the ground, but the local hero was rammed and the outside bar which is generally quicker was cash only, which I didn’t have. 
So we went straight to the ground, had a free can of warm fosters and went straight in. 
The queue was small but ridiculously slow. 
3 pints of lager and 3 balti pies, which were dry, overcooked and lacking in filling. 
Total cost ? 

….,, £29.70 😮😮

 

never ever again

Even Cov do this.

 

Really hope Framework/Everards/Charwood/Braybrooke are on at the club to let them get in on the expansion stuff.

This needs to be put to the club by the fans groups. If they’re building a fan zone it will need quality food and drink to get people to use it.

Basically we ripped Tottenham to pieces for it but now we want a first class concourse

We ripped spurs (rightly) for the cheese room and the tunnels viewing windows.

Yet they do have a local brewery actually inside the stadium brewing, so that compass contract with LCFC must be watertight. Food selection off memory is ample.

Read this whole thread which appears to be slagging off a company called Compass,  yet it is https://levy.co.uk/partnerships/sport/leicester-city-fc/  who appear to have the contract at the King Power.   Not untypical of a Foxes Forum thread

 

Rarely use the service myself,   warm beer and cold pies taken in a concrete hovel do nothng for me.
