Mr. Tom Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) Y’know what would be cheap and easy is massive tureens of proper stew and dumplings or Yorkshires, dead easy to make in advance and keep warm, cheap and hearty to serve in solid portions and shovel down on a cold afternoon. Be cracking. Part of the problem is everyone thinks they’ve got to do all kinds of fried American-style finger foods now, which are a PITA to do fresh and at scale unless you’re set up specifically for the purpose, you need a whole production line.

Lime Tree Heros Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 8 hours ago, Mr. Tom said: it’s absolutely to do with numbers, but maybe not in the most obvious sense - if you’re only getting a couple of thousand through the gates, there’s little incentive to provide in-house catering for (typically a small minority of) that number once you factor the buy-in, supplier and staffing costs you’d incur getting it properly set up. Not my experience, nor others in this thread. Best food experiences have been in non-league, rarely in crowds of over a thousand. Regarding the 'incentive' - kids ability to attempt to eat their own body weight in cheesy chips in 2 hrs on a Saturday afternoon never ceases to amaze me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
