Blues Food & Beverage Update

Blues Food & Beverage Update

As part of a recent review of our food and beverage offerings at Woodside Park, we are pleased to confirm that all bars and food outlets at the club will be managed ‘in-house’ for the 2025/26 season.

We would like to thank our previous food and hospitality partner, Host, and their hard-working staff and management for their contributions in recent seasons.

Speaking about the decision, General Manager Matthew Jones-Roberts revealed that a desire to maximise revenue was behind the decision: “We recognise the hard work put in by Host and thank them for their partnership with us.

However, having undertaken a review, as well as listening to valuable feedback from our supporters, the Board of Directors feel that we can better enhance fan experience by self-managing our food and drink outlets.

This move will also allow us to further benefit from these important revenue streams whilst providing us the opportunity to offer more dynamic choices to our supporters.

We will also take on responsibility for events held in the Group 1 Stansted BMW Lounge, which again will allow us the opportunity to drive new revenue to help move the club forward on and off the pitch.”

We will have a number of guest external food vendors in place at Woodside Park for the time being as we work to prepare our new food outlets for the upcoming season, beginning with Saturday’s friendly against Stevenage. We will share news of the available food outlets ahead of tomorrow’s game.

We thank our fans for their patience as we begin this exciting new chapter.
