St Mary's food and drink revamp includes pizza kiosk named after Gabbiadini
SAINTS are set to launch three new food kiosks at St Mary's this season, including a pizza offering named in honour of cult hero Manolo Gabbiadini. 'Gabbiadini's' is just one of the improvements Saints have made to the concourse offerings following Oak View Group's takeover of food and beverage operations. From Saturday's friendly against Brighton onwards, supporters in the Northam and Itchen North stands will benefit from a completely overhauled concourse experience. Three of the existing kiosks have been transformed, focusing on completely new food offerings, which are: Gabbiadini's, named after our Italian goalscoring hero Manolo, will serve up pizza slices Northam Grill will be serving all-new burgers SFC serves exactly what it says on the tin, Saints Fried Chicken Manolo Gabbiadini is a cult hero at Saints Supporters will now purchase items from digital order screens that have been installed next to each of these concessions before going to the kiosks to collect their orders. The option is now available to pre-order for half time too, in just one transaction, and drinks will be served at new bars, The Marching Inn and Off The Bar. These bars will also be where you'll go to get your usual matchday favourites, including pies, sausage rolls, hot dogs, crisps, and chocolate, with digital order screens installed too. New options for this season include chicken nuggets and garlic and cheese dough balls, while fries are also returning for the new campaign. Dancing Man Brewery are back for the new season and will continue to serve up their local offerings in the Northam and Kingsland concourses. In addition, 10 new automated self-service Boxbars serving a range of alcoholic drinks have also been installed. Named Saints on Tap, they're in both the Northam and Itchen North concourses to speed up wait times for those just looking for a pre-match or half-time pint. Meal deal combos will be available across these areas of the stadium, starting from £12 for a pizza, chips, and a soft drink. The club say they will review the performance of these changes throughout the season, with a view to rolling them out to more areas of the stadium in the future. Southampton's chief revenue officer, Greg Baker, said: 'Our collaborative partnership with OVG has enabled us to elevate the quality of service and broaden the variety of food and beverage offerings across St Mary's. "These concourse improvements in the Northam and Itchen North show our commitment as a club to enhancing the matchday experience for our supporters.'
