Cast1rn Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Glasgows' used to be good then last season was switched to outside caterers and went expensive and nowhere near as good. Only been to a few away meetings (plans to go further afield this year) Even though they're our rivals Edinburgh's coffee in the main stand is the best, their hotdogs on the other hand not good.

Who needs coffee at speedway? Unless you are having trouble staying awake!! The best food I have had is from a former track, Rye House. Lakeside wasn't bad either. I am not really helping with the Championship food thing am I? Lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScunnyDan Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Been to a handful of Championship tracks, and not to lick our own backsides here... but Scunnys burgers and pies are so much better than everywhere else I've been, at very reasonable prices too... Quite enjoy Redcar's food also 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Best Redcar - overall very good Plymouth - Chicken Curry made by local Indian / Polish sausages cooked by Poles Glasgow - good when I've been Edinburgh - good overall Scunny - decent Poole - decent Berwick - average Birmingham - poor and even worst staff Oxford - dire but they deserve a further chance More recent no longer-: Kent - yuk Eastbourne - yuk Lakeside - very good Somerset - average and very few toilets Others-: Mildenhall - old fish and chip suppliers were the stuff of legend = outstanding Stoke - not bad Buxton - jesus christ...aarrgghh Wolves - pains me to say but very decent Leicester - very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeyin Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Scunthorpe food is good as is Redcar, Edinburgh food is not bad too, but their hospitality food is excellent and worth the money. Glasgow used to have fab food but since it became outsourced , I am not fond of it at all and it is expensive, gone are the days of homemade soup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaizer Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Is it Glasgow got the folk in who also do plastic whistle and it's the Donner kebab pies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelinho Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 I didn't mind the catering switch at Glasgow last year, although I liked it before too. Berwick is always decent. Edinburgh is passable. Rye House was the best, but growing up a golf swing away from the track, I'd never say a bad word about it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Certainly wouldn’t eat at Poole. Double Cheeseburger £8. RIP off! Go McD’s before if you need food. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnieg Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Baked potato with tuna and salad from Eastbourne was my top pick. Used to like Lakeside too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Eastbourne's 'Cheesy Chips' always went down well... especially after a few beers beforehand at The Cricketers Arms in Berwick. (Sadly missed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't generally do food in speedway stadiums unless I have to though as its usually overpriced garbage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanBrannan Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 From this past season, Speedway food of note for me would be: Plymouth Polish BBQ sausage, slightly bizarre that you get a massive sausage and a slice of bread but it felt authentic..! Oxford’s Brioche Cheeseburger, probably on balance the best burger in the championship but not the cheapest. Glasgow’s Kebab Pie though was a glorious thing. Absolutely true story that I found myself in the company of the CEO of Gregg’s and I used this innovation as small talk. She was very taken by it and last I heard it was being discussed at a Gregg’s board meeting. So if they ever come up with similar you know where it started. The fish & chips in Berwick though in the town are phenomenal, the pies in the ground also superb. There you have it..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once bought some chips there, and having tasted them I swore that I would never buy food from them again. Having said that, the food smelt good last year (one of my grandstand companions has his dinner there!), but I haven't tasted any. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neila Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 Back in the day pork sandwich and scratchings at cradley, why can't something like this be served now ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
