       Ah well, I guess it was on the cards as the retail business took
       off. It'll be interesting to see who takes over the pitch. I saw
       a Hog Roast stall behind the south stand on Saturday. The "Hog
       Hut" by gate 1 will have new occupants I guess...

       Shame. But the quality of the product had nose dived from what
       we saw in those early days. Perhaps we could have that bloke and
       his two daughters who used to do the Hog Roast van?

       Can't say I'm that gutted. They started out as a really good and
       reasonably priced hog roast, but ended up selling over-priced
       rolls full of stuffing with a bit of tasteless, boiled pork on
       top. Maybe it's just not economically viable to do the hog roast
       properly on a large scale.
       Anyway, good luck to them. I'm pleased to hear their business is
       doing well. They've had good PR from Michel Roux which must help

       when they started out they were the best I'd had in years, sadly
       as they got successful the quality when down hill as they tried
       to keep up with demand, having roast pork delivered after
       sitting in boiling water to keep warm wasn't pleasant certainly
       at £7.5+ cost anyway. I do support them in the supermarket
       though as their bangers are top nosh. Wish them luck with their
       future.

       Why not make a bacon sandwich at home and bring it with you in
       an appropriate pocket. The bread you like, the bacon you like,
       done how you like it, the sauce you like added in the quantities
       you like! Much cheaper too!
       I really don't know why I haven't suggested this before? (irony)

       I like my bacon hot and crispy!  I have yet to find an
       appropriate pocket to deliver this.  Admittedly I've yet to
       discover a purveyor of bacon who can do it at a mass-catered
       event either, but still...

       Coming from Surrey, your bacon sarnie will still be warm. Hot,
       even if you wrap it in silver foil.

       No great surprise. As others have said it wasn't what it used to
       be in the days of miss piggy parked outside the North stand
       anyway 😥 My kids will be disappointed though.
