pre match grub

Post by North-Bank-1987 »

What are the favourite places to eat pre match?

I always go and get a chicken burger from Eden's on Seven sisters, there is a fish and chip shop next door which is always packed but I've no't tried, the burgers in the rocket are spot on, and cheap (£2 as to £3 everywhere else).
I still havn't tried Piebury corner although heard very good things. Also has anyone tried the hogroast, think it's on Gillespie Rd. before the KF bridge?

Look forward to some recommendations :D

I always think about getting a samosa from that stall when on the way to HR, do you know if piebury ever got their award back reb?

I often thought about getting a samosa from that stall and eventually did... I get one every time I walk past on way home from game now. Worth acting on that thought imo...

You mean you don't arrive at the ground early to sample the culinary delights? :D :wink:

Chippy I was late in to Swansea, missed the the grub outside due to the march, so I thought its a great chance to sample some of Silent Stans food. There was a rectangular shaped cheese pizza with 3 delightfull doughballs on top, needless to say the doughballs were very nice, the pizza on the other hand...... Absolutley foul, it had 3 huge slices of tomato to use as puree and about 500g of cheese on. Being 100% serious I was very ill on the way home, and I don't think it was the watered down larger. :shock:

Never ever again. :oops:

EDIT: It also cost £5

Can never understand how people can't go an hour and a half (minimum) without eating!! I would rather starve than eat the shit that's 'on offer' at our home games and pile even more money in their greedy mitts.

I got some pizza once a long while ago that was frozen, the edge was hot but the middle was still frozen solid. :lol: I binned most of it and haven't got food at the stadium since.

When Chippy Jnr was a bit younger (17 now) it was just easier to get him something in the ground. Now if he was allowed he would eat pizza 3 meals a day, yet even he refused to eat it and settled for the slightly less noxious hot dog!

I go to a nice cafe down the holloway road which does a good fry up for lunch/breakfast for those of us on the road early :lol: Bloody place is usually packed though which is a good recommendation for them but often involves waiting for a seat which is a pain in the arse for me 8)
