Pittodrie Pies Today

[Chewie37]

Everyone knows you're not getting gourmet food at Pittodrie, but it's the fact the speed of service is so bad. There's no system in place to make service quick, no one has a clue basically. Boxing Day at Y, there was a queue that wasn't huge during first half and there would be one person standing at the till with the other six at the back with their backs turned. It's not rocket science you fannies. Couple folk to serve, use the others to fetch over the orders, plebs at Macdonalds can do it. I used to know some of the Sodexho management, but they have a high staff turnover so I reckon that's the problem.

Goit a telling off from a steward at the Partick game for standing next to my old man in the pie queue in the south.

 

Single file only apparently

 

Last had a pie about a year ago, steak, stuck to the foil. Gads min

 

I sincerely hope you either laughed in his face or politely advised he fuck off.

[Bluto10]

Ajax have the best system.

I was thoroughly impressed by the system they employ in the Amsterdam ArenA

Aye be the de Kuip is much better all round.

And so is the woudemstein.

Pittodrie Pies Today sounds like an extremely niche newspaper.

Any word of when the match day experience survey will be handed out?

Didn't they already do that and used the results to justify the singing section in the South Stand, which was later relocated to the RDU after that 45 year dodger that hangs around with 17 year old kids kicked off about it because he "wasn't consulted"?

[RUL]

St Johnstone was just as bad as us on Saturday. If not worse as half the queue was confusion about whether it was the toilet queue.

Narrow as fuck staircase down to that food area and toilets was a nightmare, wasn't built with large crowds in mind

[King Street Loon]

I did the survey and answered extremely dissatisfied whenever possible.

That'll teach them.

Also told them to employ people who can speak English and can count change.

[Guest RosemountRed]

I responded saying it was all rubbish and to serve alcohol.

You do in the Captains Lounge

 

I did my School work placement that at the Baker that did the Pittodrie Pies at the time. Put me off for life after seeing how they were made.

[dave_min]

I said I was very happy with everything.

[zander]

I answered nothing out of the ordinary.

Have never really found an issue the food is nothing special but arriving at the ground around 5 minutes after kick off after a few pints the food tastes nae bad and the ques don't seem to bad.

[Mr John]

Classic trolling.

Match day experience wtf I go Pittodrie to watch the game not for a fuckin picnic !

In the unlikely event I'm hungry I get a pie which puts the hunger pangs away not expecting some Michelin star food, my main focus is the result at 1645

[reekie_dock]

I like a pie and a bovril, I know what to expect so i don't have to moan.

 

We have more important things to moan about than fucking pies.

 

Have you seen the state oh the bush oot by the smoking area behind the South Stand. Totally disgusting I don't know how the handy man sleeps at night....

This is clearly for the people that can handle more than one thought at a time.

Ha! Yeah if folk saw what went into lots of foods, they'd swiftly change eating habits

[Chewie37]

Many, many years ago use to help my old man supplied (through his employer) the meat for pittodrie pies . Just heid meat.

My mate does pigs head for breakfast in a five star guest house, he says it's the best meat off a pig. Also 'heid meat' just reminds me of potted heid, which I always loved, bloody EU and their restrictions....bastards

[Chewie37]

Loved potted heid myself as a kid. Unsure if i would eat it today...

Yeah I think jellied beef might give me the boke! It was always a treat when we were at the shops in Mastrick!!

[the sheep]

How hard is it to get a decent mince, steak and macaroni pie. Give these guys the sack and lets get local companies to bid for the contract. Marshalls for example their stake pies are the 'Dogs Ballocks', as apposed to the existing stake pies that taste like the 'Dogs Bollocks'. We have 12,000 + potential customers so lets improve the quality of the product and the service and make some money. If the product was good I would be happy to pay a premium.

 

We should also sell hot 'Aitkens Rowies', we are a in Aberdeen after all.

[StevieT1986]

I suggested why not give local companies a couple of stalls in each stand and let them showcase their produce. If the club are serious about this AFC Community Trust then why not? The North East of Scotland has some brilliant food so why not showcase it. I would be happy to pay an extra £1 or £2 for a quality pie as opposed to the shite tbats offered by Sodexho

[Redforever86]

The catering will never improve until we get rid of Sodexho.

Now we're talking, a hot Rowie and a bovril! Ace

[ericblack4boss]

Rowie, fucking toonsers it's butteries.

[Pudgie]

I stuck in that we should be selling rolls (rowies or butteries for you wrong uns). Seems like a marketing dream! Much easier to carry and dish oot a poochfae o rolls than pies. I also said we should be selling bacon and sausage rolls but the difference between a fiver and a twenty quid note confuses some of the fine ladies and gentlemen at the stalls, I'm not sure having two different sausage rolls is really a good idea,..

[ericblack4boss]

I mentioned in the survey th e inability to identity sterling,

They have the speed of Scott Vernon pulling a tyre.

And showed the competence of clangers in a ball catching exercise.

[Chewie37]

They're either Rowies or Butteries, only an idiot would call them rolls
