London Stadium catering is a rip off

London Stadium caterers Delaware North came under renewed criticism over the price and quality of their food and drink being offered.

One Sheffield United fan took to social media to complain about playing £9.10 for fives small pieces of chicken, some BBQ sauce with a soft drink (pictured right) saying it was a rip-off.

He isn’t alone with West Ham fans equally fed up with prices, quality and availability despite promises to improve.

A pint of Iron Ale costs £6 on Saturday at a cash-only mobile stall while a chilli Hot Dog costs a whooping £7.50 at a street food mobile cart on the West stand concourse.

A pint of Amstel rose from £5.15 last season to £5.20 this season after a trial of £5 per pint for one game failed to show any extra revenue for the catering company.

Catering in part of the West stand concourse which is landlocked by the away fans and corporate hospitality are poor relations when it comes to catering, they regularly suffer from lack of choice for food and drink, long queues or often run of food like pies all together during half time.

American company Delaware North hold a 25-year contract for catering at the London Stadium with West Ham receiving next to nothing from a profit share agreement.

The contract awarded by London Stadium 185 now part of the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) is seen by many as poor value for money for the taxpayer as well as those visiting the stadium.
