| 62. Author: DJAS Date: Sat 19th Jul 2025. 05:55 PARrot, Sat 19 Jul 01:30 That’s definitely not true. As buffy said part of the problem was equipment. Still think it was due for a change though. Predictor league winner 2012/2013 Reply |
| 63. Author: Berry Date: Sat 19th Jul 2025. 06:02 It wasn’t just the quality of the food and equipment though really. The service was slow, really limited choice and limited stock as well, to count how many times we popped over at HT and then turned away because there was little to naff all there. They also close immediately after HT, probably reasonable rationale for that but thought having the option to buy would through the second half would be sensible. Then the prices, captive market so expect to be a little more expensive but they were ridiculous. Post Edited (Sat 19 Jul 06:04) Reply |
| 64. Author: P Date: Sat 19th Jul 2025. 09:20 Never10yairds, Fri 18 Jul 23:48 Totally agree with this, absolutely certain they were made to a different meat:pastry mix for the batch heading for EEP and they just profiteered over football supporters. If you bought in shop and compared to one in the ground they were totally different in amount of filling & poor heating equipment will do nothing to remedy that. Reply |
| 65. Author: Westies squint kicks Date: Sat 19th Jul 2025. 09:31 It`ll be interesting to see what will be on offer, genuinely what kind of thing are fans hoping for ? Are we hoping for decent fast food or healthier options ? Ultimately it`s going to be difficult to please everyone and in all likelihood it`s going to cost more than a Pie or Bridie, but then you get what you pay for. It was always the wee things attached to travelling to away games that stood out, whether it was the soup at Brechin or Fish Pie at Peterhead. I knew plenty of away fans that would relate a Bridie to an away day at East End Park, what will we be synonymous with now. Reply |
| 66. Author: AdamAntsParsStripe Date: Sat 19th Jul 2025. 09:42 Westies squint kicks, Sat 19 Jul 09:31 Stephens could have went some way to redeeming themselves by selling Lentil soup and a roll at EEP. Cost effective and popular. My opinion in general wasn’t that the food was bad but the lack of choice on show. They could have had pre prepared filled rolls. More cakes and biscuits etc End of an era indeed but they’ve had a good innings. Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte  Reply |
| 67. Author: PARrot Date: Sat 19th Jul 2025. 09:48 AdamAntsParsStripe, Sat 19 Jul 09:42 This is what irked me. Filled rolls, steak and haggis pies, veg option cheese broccoli chilli pies could all have been on offer. They shot themselves in the foot Reply |
| 68. Author: buffy Date: Sat 19th Jul 2025. 10:28 Maybe they were told to sell only a limited number of items. ”Buffy’s Buns are the finest in Fife”, J. Spence 2019” Reply |
| 69. Author: DunfyDave Date: Sat 19th Jul 2025. 10:38 buffy, Sat 19 Jul 10:28 ^^^ The larger the menu, the more wastage you have and slower service. Smaller menus for such a limited time to sell is definitely good business sense. Perhaps the new caterers will continue with the legacy and introduce a Steak Bridie to their own menu 🤔 DunfyDave Reply |
| 70. Author: JTH123 Date: Sat 19th Jul 2025. 10:56 buffy, Sat 19 Jul 10:28 I can`t see the club taking any interest in what`s being sold. More like anything fresh will need disposed of if it isn`t sold as it won`t keep. I`d think Thomas Franks will be a bit more imaginative but as others have said there will be some complaining about prices. Reply |

Author: Buster_Brown Date: Sat 19th Jul 2025. 11:04 JTH123, Sat 19 Jul 10:56 I`d think Thomas Franks will be a bit more imaginative but as others have said there will be some complaining about prices. If people aren’t happy with the prices then more fool them for paying it. There are plenty options to eat away from the ground, yes, I quite enjoying sitting in a stadium munching a pie, or whatever, but I’ve also gone to grounds and refused to buy anything because I’m not willing to pay the price for it or because I don’t enjoy the catering company enough to warrant paying the price (Pie Sports as an example).

| 72. Author: jake89 Date: Sat 19th Jul 2025. 11:16 As someone who spent many a high school lunchtime visiting Stephens, the quality is undoubtedly poorer, but also the competition is better. Baynes is better. As a Dunfermline boy I feel I`m betraying my roots in favour of the Ballingry bakers, but it`s true. Reply |
| 73. Author: saltonsgonagetu Date: Sat 19th Jul 2025. 12:00 The meal deal a choice of pie, doughnut of your choice and a drink around £7 at the rovers ,Stuarts of Buckhaven, all good quality stuff , this is the standard were looking for.  Reply |
| 74. Author: cammypar 1995 Date: Sat 19th Jul 2025. 14:44 Stephens only have themselves to blame. The quality absolutely fell off a cliff while the prices kept creeping up. Fans have been moaning about it for seasons and nothing changed. They clearly weren’t listening. When folk are forking out good money at the game, the least you expect is a half decent pie. Glad it’s been binned and fair play to the club for finally making the change. Buzzing to see what the new offering`s like on Tuesday, hopefully something worth it. c'mon the pars Reply |
| 75. Author: NMCmassive Date: Sat 19th Jul 2025. 18:34 Stephen’s have been on the decline for years. There food in general isn’t as good as it was. Bayne’s, Stewart’s all serving better quality pies etc. the stuff at EEP was the lowest quality that Stephen’s could have produced. I hope it’s a shot in the arm for them because they need it. I don’t get why folk are posting a bit of hate for pie sports. No being funny but every pie sports pie I’ve had has been much better than any Stephen’s pie - especially one bought at EEP. Also, the pie sports kebab pie was actually really good. The Stephen’s one 😬 less than average. Actually the McGhee ones you can get from Asda and stick in the oven yourself are better than a Stephen’s kebab pie. COYP Reply |

| 77. Author: doctordandruff Date: Sat 19th Jul 2025. 21:17 This is a real positive, and showing that the fan experience is core to new owners. Light and Day compared to before where we were purely there to hand over money Reply |
| 78. Author: TAFKA_Super_Petrie Date: Sat 19th Jul 2025. 22:44 Living in the West, when you mention who you support it`s a pretty much stick on that someone will mention the steak bridie and thats from experiences and visiting EEP often 15+ years ago with Rangers, Celtic or whoever else. I`d say after the `Say Aye To A Killie Pie` it`s the most well known tie in or product you`d place against a Scottish team. Stephen`s really missed a trick and got complacent with this one ---------------------------------------------------------------  [b]"People always talk about Ronaldinho and magic, but I didn't see him today.

| 79. Author: coventrypar Date: Sat 19th Jul 2025. 23:05 The East Kilbride van had really good quality and a great range of food. That’s what’s needed. That said they didn’t do a pie ? "If you have no kind words to say you should say nothing more at all" Reply |
