| I've seen lots of pie talk, and as there isn't much rugby to discuss, I was wondering which ground had the best food? I'm only counting the food on offer to punters, not the VIP pre-match food. |

I stand by our hot pork baps, but I always looked forward to the pie at Clifton Road. ------------- "What I need is a strong drink and a peer group" |

| For reference, I went with Goldington Road, as I had a great burger there a few years back, covered in fried onions - my favorite. Also, I haven't gotten down to Pirates or up to Donny yet. Ampthill food was a bit basic, and Ealing has great chips, but the rest is hit or miss. The RAG food seems largely non-existent outside of the supporters meal. |

| Have to say I’m partial to a nice piece of Cow Pie at Donny! |

The VIP meal at Donny is...........Cow Pie! Only difference is that it comes on a plate with a proper cutlery. ------------- Winning isn't everything, it just makes the beer taste better |

Assorted pasties (very good), burgers, sausages in a a roll, chips, chicken and more readily available in the canteen between the Sports Bar & the Members bar. Occasionally have a BBQ or Hog Roast if a large crowd is expected. Best away grub imho is Blackheath or in the Championship Scottish. 😉 ------------- #AClubForLife💛❤️🖤 |

| For Championship food Donny gets my vote every time. apart from the Pie, the curry is good as is chips etc. However, whisper it quietly, the Pie at Rotherham Titans is streets ahead of the Donny fare! |

I'm surprised by this - as an Ealing supporter, I've been to six or seven matches at the RAG, and I usually struggle to find any food. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?

The pie at Roth is ok, horses for courses - the little van that parked up at the opposite end to the clubhouse that sold warm / hot Pork Pies were delicious but that was independent of Roth I believe. The Scotch Pie at the RAG was a bit of a let down, but a not bad burger. Hartpury - the burger stall seemed to do well Bedford - have had a burger there it is ok - perhaps I had one two many to savour its finer qualities Jersey - enjoyed the snap the night before the match but never had much on a match day there Nottingham - caterers in their vans are ok but they aren't Nottingham's I guess Cov - never tried as always busy tasting ale at the pub up the way  the prem visitor (any of them) - never had anything really decent there Ealing - think I once had a hot dog that was ok Pirates - too much to drink to remember on any occasion there Donny - Pie, Curry, Chips they are all good (am I biased - I might be but I don't think so generally it is all pretty darn good) ------------- Onward and Upwards C'mon Donny! |

Been to the island twice, had the excellent sausage in a fresh roll both times. Top food.

I hope you're not talking about the ingredients CPK?! Wouldn't this be covered by 'secret recipe' conventions a la KFC?!

| CPK- the pie and peas that are sold in the Marquee Bar at Nottingham are very good. Would recommend trying them instead of the van food. |

Canteen is located between Members Bar (where the posh lunches are held) & The Sports Bar but before you go through the gates to main pitch. ------------- #AClubForLife💛❤️🖤 |

| Always a highlight pre-match at Goldington Road to go in Nos's Nosh and have a spot of lunch. Lush. |
