Topic: Catering link up
21. Author: p4r5f4n Date: Mon 7th Jul 2025. 15:57 The press release definitely says they are delivering enhanced hospitality in the kiosks and kiosks is the name that has always been used for the Stephen’s outlets. On another note. With all this reorganisation I hope Margaret still has a role. She has been a loyal club servant for a long time. Reply
22. Author: jake89 Date: Mon 7th Jul 2025. 16:45 They sort catering for a few of the private schools. They`re based down by Oxford so I hope it`s a case they source local suppliers rather than sending the stuff up. It`s been said for years that Stephens meat products have gone massively downhill. One of the worst locally now so I won`t shed many tears if they`re away. I hope we see options for all budgets and some variation too. Cold pies and sausage rolls next to some empire biscuits isn`t a great way of selling coming to the football. I know my kids would be more likely to attend if there were burgers and hotdogs. Yes, very American... Reply
23. Author: Playup_Pompey Date: Mon 7th Jul 2025. 16:47 st johnstone have just announced a move to Pie Sports as matchday food provider https://piesports.com/ looks like they do thistle/St Mirren and scumkirk too. Reply
24. Author: wee eck Date: Mon 7th Jul 2025. 16:47 These two job adverts in Athletico`s post suggest they are going to have two members of staff present at EEP all week do they not? It looks like they`re aiming to market it as a permanent conference/hospitality/catering venue, not just on match days. Reply
25. Author: PARrot Date: Mon 7th Jul 2025. 17:09 Buster_Brown, Mon 7 Jul 15:31 wee eck, Mon 7 Jul 14:20 Does that mean the link-up with Stephen`s has ended? As others have said, I don’t think so, it reads like it’s just the hospitality areas. That said, I’m sure most of us are fans of Stephen’s in general, but they really need to up their game inside the stadium. The difference in quality between EEP and their local shops is night and day. "Thomas Franks, the club will deliver enhanced hospitality offerings across the Purvis Suite, matchday lounges, and kiosks at KDM Group East End Park." "....and kiosks." Reply
26. Author: Par Date: Mon 7th Jul 2025. 17:16 Statement reads - Working closely with the experienced team at Thomas Franks, the club will deliver enhanced hospitality offerings across the Purvis Suite, matchday lounges, and kiosks at KDM Group East End Park. so looks like the kiosks also so hopefully improved offerings for all fans. It`s a pity Stephens fare is so poor now, a local company and was an excellent link up at the time, but Stephens have no one to blame but themselves if they have lost the contract or maybe if they are in on the partnership they will have to offer better quality fare and including stovies, soup etc I did fill in the end of season questionnaire and asked for improved catering, glad to see the club are listening to the fans.

Pie sports is part of Pars Foods, Stephen`s sister company in the West Reply
28. Author: PARrot Date: Mon 7th Jul 2025. 17:38 Yep Stephens were once the benchmark but they bave been awful at EEP for many years. They have been living off their reputation but that can`t last. Reply
29. Author: Hunter78 Date: Mon 7th Jul 2025. 18:33 kozmasrightfoot, Mon 7 Jul 15:53 I remember years ago, someone snuck me a miniature steak pie from hospitality, it was 2 bites of culinary joy, a beefy orgasm in the mouth (dont be crass boys). I dont know who was in charge of hospitality catering back then, but it sure as shït wasn`t Stephens the minging* bakers. *Their cakes and rolls are good, but meat products are substandard to certain other bakers. If Kelty Hearts can offer up a decent meaty product, we have no excuse not to ditch Stephens when their contract expires. It’s Stephen’s who supply that as well. Through Pars Foods. Reply

31. Author: Buster_Brown Date: Mon 7th Jul 2025. 19:01 Raymie the Legend, Mon 7 Jul 15:38 Well, if that’s the case, get your pies/bridies in town. They won’t be any colder by half time? It’s what a started doing over the past couple of seasons Raymie. I’d rather give money to the club but as has been said by someone a few posts up, they are living off past reputation in the ground IMHO. Reply

39. Author: Playup_Pompey Date: Tue 8th Jul 2025. 10:51 as mentioned above would be good to look at innovative ways to change the matchday experiences. Aye look to have been pushing things as a test events. £35 for match entry and 5 pints doesnt seem a bad deal Ayr United FC can confirm alcohol will be on sale at our two upcoming home Premier Sports Cup matches after the club was granted alcohol licences by South Ayrshire Council. These The ticket price of £35 will give admission to a maximum of 66 supporters (minimum age 18) per match to enter the stadium through turnstile 13 and includes up to 4 pints of Moretti per person pre-match and a further pint during the half-time interval. Moretti is the only alcoholic drink provided during the test events, with soft drink alternatives available. This ticket prices also includes the match ticket. Alcohol will be available in the accessible area of the Main Stand to home supporters only. Serving times are: Saturday 19th July - Ayr United v Arbroath (bar open 12.30pm to 2.30pm and then re-opens at half-time interval). Tuesday 22nd July - Ayr United v Forfar (bar open 5.15pm to 7.15pm and then re-opens at half-time interval). The area chosen for the test events is within the current disability section. Supporters who occupy this area are also invited to purchase tickets for the pilot project, but are also able to use the current area to view the match as normal and will continue to enter through Gate G. Per current legislation, supporters will not be able to view the pitch whilst in the pop up bar area but it is hoped that these events will provide the SPFL and local stakeholders with comfort in the club’s ability to sell alcohol safely within the stadium. ID checks will be made at the turnstile and under 18s will not be permitted to attend the area. Tickets are non-refundable. We hope this initiative will add to the enjoyment of the matchday experience for supporters. We appreciate your support and will provide any necessary updates closer to the match. Season Ticket holders have priority access until 10am on Thursday (10th July) to purchase tickets for their season ticket seats either just the seat for the match or access to the pop-up bar too. Season Ticket holders must login to their Main Event tickets account first in order to purchase tickets. They will only have the option to purchase for their Season Ticket seat(s), they cannot choose to purchase any additional seats or change their seat during the priority window. This priority window applies to both the Arbroath match on Saturday 19th July and the Forfar match on 22nd July. Tickets for both matches will then go on general sale on Thursday 10th July at 10am and any season ticket seats not purchased during the priority window will be released for general sale. Any tickets remaining for the pop-up bar will also go on general sale. souce https://ayrunitedfc.co.uk/ayr-united-granted-alcohol-licence-for-upcoming-premier-sports-cup-matches Reply
