Feeding the 17,000

Andy food

When attending sporting fixtures it amazes me how diverse the choice there is nowadays in high-quality tasty food.

Here at Trent Bridge that is no different. This morning I was given the opportunity to speak with the man behind the operation of delivering this service to the 17,000-strong Trent Bridge crowd.

Andy Dixon, operations manager for P&G catering, is in charge of the catering operations and spoke to me about how important it is to deliver variety to the people watching and also to give the opportunity to the businesses in the area to come and sell their produce.

Gallops Farm has food outlets dotted around the ground and is selling locally sourced sausages and burgers. And Andy told me how proud he is to see Nottinghamshire food being sold at sporting venues.

He said: “It’s not always the case at sporting grounds, so to see locally sourced food being sold here is fantastic.”

Delivering high quality customer service, with great standards every time and high-end products being sold are the targets Andy and his team are trying to achieve and at the moment are keeping the Trent Bridge faithful happy.

Great food and Great cricket, what more could you ask for?
