Event Management Catering have got the contract and then they sub contract it out, cause i know our current burger van team are very interested in carrying on so hopefully not an end to chiili and chips

The Current Burger Van would probably continue to pay a site fee. but to the Catering Company rather than the Stadium Company. I think that would be how it works.

Not a patch on Batley, mind, but 100 times better than EMC. Be interesting to see whether they operate it like the LSV and rip everyone off, or make a bit of an effort like they do at Donny and do specials etc.

Awesome for the 'ol hangover. Pies at Fev are quite nice too. York have the nicest tea.

Didn't sample Fev on my last visit, will have to give it a go next week. Not been to York for years but I've yet to find a club with better catering than Batley - the sole reason I want them to stay up

Fev Pie Hut in the corner at the bottom of the hill is always Worth a Visit.

Batley, as you say is always good, Chip Buttys from that Kitchen are always a good thing.

I remember a few years ago when Hull KR did ROast beef Baguettes in that Upstairs Bar, now that was top nosh.

PREMIERSHIP standard catering is set to come to the Shay.

Calderdale Council cabinet has chosen Event Management Catering as the preferred contractor for banqueting and hospitality at the ground.

Calderdale Council's leader, Stephen Baines, said: "The council is transforming the Shay into a seven-day venue, providing accessible sporting, conference, banqueting and learning facilities of which Calderdale can be proud.

"When the Shay's East Stand is completed, the stadium will be able to offer high-quality banqueting facilities for up to 300 covers and a range of meeting and function rooms.

"We will be providing a top-class venue for meetings and functions, so it is important that we also offer catering of the highest quality."

Contract negotiations will now start for the operation of the business.
EMC already provides catering at nine other sports grounds – eight of which are along the M62 corridor – including the KC Stadium, home of Premiership team Hull City, Championship sides Burn-ley and Doncaster Rovers, and League Two Bradford City's Coral Windows Stadium at Valley Parade.

EMC was selected as preferred bidder after a two-stage selection process. The East Stand should be finished in November and open by Christmas.

Nearly £5 million is being spent on the stadium to complete the stand, install seats for 3,500 fans, and create bars, changing rooms, the banqueting suite, and a terrace opening out over the pitch.
