Official: New Hot Food Options to be Available In And Around Vale Park

[Valiant62]

Forest Green samosas mmmmm…..

wouldn’t mind more in ground veggie options, the chayz n unyun pasties are nice but they play havoc with me digestion. Served at 1000 degrees seems a bit overkill as well, cant tuck in till half time. Still, if Hamil Oatcakes can maintain standards with new ownership, they’re still likely to win out for me. Maybe they should look to the possibility of getting an oatcake griddle in the fanzone.

To be fair, I presume Hollands widens the choice to hot dogs? But a Wrights meat and potatoe pie is my only knowing nod to flexitarianism as a vegetarian. There is no way whatsoever I'll grant a rubbish Hollands pie or pasty any time or space  even a vegetarian one, and one million percent won't touch a hot dog made of cheap offal. Total yuke.

Given the Vale kiosks also serve rubbish coffee and rubbish beer they are just a no go zone now.

I'm guessing that Hollands and Rollover hotdogs are 2 different companies. Not sure by having Hollands pies widens the choice for hotdogs because I'am sure that Rollover Hotdogs work with any pie supplier, Wrights, Hollands or Pukka.

My favourite pie, when I was a kid back in the 80's, were Peter Hunts pies from the chippy

Most of the chippies up in Manchester have Holland’s. I have to say I prefer them to Wrights. Maybe we’ve been conditioned to Wrights over a long period of time.

They changed some pies half way though last season, the steak pies were, if not made by, then certainly a close imitation of pukka pies. Round puff pastry pie. Up until then they were the classic oval steak pie (wrights I assume) 

Meat n Tater seemed to be classic wrights, was the balti pie a pukka??

Chips is the way forward. Like at Burton. Quick to cook. Massive profit margins.

I wouldn't spot that because I'll only eat meat and potatoe. 

I have realised that Rollover is not a subsidiary of Hollands and they do sell a vegetarian burger. 

So things not quite as bleak as I thought. But in reality the oatcake shop near Longport Station and Wrights Pies in Burslem will get my business.

I may look at the outside stalls again if there are vegetarian / vegan choices. It was a total write off last season apart from one occasion, but that was hopeless because of the queue.

I'd rate Pukka Pies above Hollands, but my main exposure to Hollands has been in supermarkets.

I'm curious how they think they've "improved the options" as they say given that oatcakes have been dropped from the menu. Vale have sold rollover hotdogs before so that isn't new.

As Darren says there's such easy revenue going uncollected. The stone age facilities in the railway and paddock don't help. What could help, though, is charging this lot from Station st in Longport an access fee and then profit percentage. Both them and us could make excellent revenue.

Tuesday night in the winter watching utter dross in the biting Siberian polar vortex that is the back of the Railway, I and I expect lots of others would <ovf censored> demolish a proper Oatcake and spend money at Vale that otherwise would be spent outside.

The nicest meat ‘n tater ones are those at Oldham. I’ve always thought the Wrights ones were a bit dry without gravy.

Going back some decades at Cauldon College, extra curricula activities in the old Norfolk Inn where you could get Wright's, 'Bright Eyes' was on the jukebox, we used to singalong, 'Wright's pies, burning like fire, how can a pie that's steak and kidney suddenly taste like  chicken, Wright's pies' RIP Sid and Iris .

[Santa]

Nicest pie I had last season was the peppered steak at Accrington (Clayton Park Pies).

The season before it was Rochdale who had the best pies in League Two, although I believe the small local company that made their pies that season wasn’t able to keep up with demand so they went with someone else.

Strange, Wrights pies supplied to the Wembley of the South, but not the North. Supplied to 30% of Football grounds.

Perhaps the profit margin is better with Hollands and its a commercial decision.

Likely, the proof will be in the pudding(Pie)

Must admit im a Wrights Meat and Tatter man, the sausage rolls arent bad either. Still its  academic I suppose as more chance of finding a 20 goal a season striker in a Lucky Bag than getting served at halftime in Lorne St.
