At the Crewe Alexandra game before Christmas, food critic Andy Hunting visited Sixfields to write a review of the matchday hospitality food. Below are some extracts of his review. The full review can be read at http://andyskitchen.co.uk/blogs///blog1.php/reviews/our-day-out-watching-the.
"So we arrived at Sixfields on December 10th, to watch the game against Crewe Alexandra and on arrival were pointed to our parking space just at the side of the stadium, once parked up we made our way to the Reception where we were greeted by Andy and introduced to some of the staff who then showed us to our seats in the restaurant area. Straight away I cannot express how polite, friendly and helpful all the staff were, we were very impressed.
"Once seated our host explained to us what we could expect, with a Stadium Tour, 3 course meal, entertainment, half time refreshments, great stadium seating, and the opportunity to view all the post-match presentations including Man of the Match. We ordered our drinks and then were taken on the Stadium tour, before returning for some entertainment in the form of some competitions.
"And so to our meal, which was a Christmas Dinner, to start I had homemade vegetable soup with crusty bread, while Bev had chicken tikka strips, the soup was lovely, full of flavour and well-seasoned while Bev's dish tasted very nice from what I tasted.
"On to the mains and we both opted for roast beef with Yorkshire puds and veg again the meal was faultless, for dessert I had the cheeseboard while Bev had the chocolate & raspberry tart, which I was not given any to try but was assured in Bev's words was 'lush'.
"Now the food and service was fantastic, I really was looking for faults but I could not find any, don't get me wrong the food is never going to win any Michelin stars, but it was lovely and the service was excellent, in fact the service was better than what I have received in some top establishments.
"Once the meal was over, we had some more entertainment before going to watch the match, we had fantastic seats, right on the halfway line and sitting with some of the Directors, and with some of the press behind us it was really quite funny listening to the live commentary whilst watching the game.
"Once half time arrived, we didn't have to queue for refreshments as we went back to the restaurant area for plenty of tea and coffee and some very nice mince pies.
"On returning to the restaurant after the match, there was even more entertainment with some more competitions, and then the awarding of the Man of the Match, which Bev enjoyed!!!
"So to conclude whether you enjoy football or not, going to a corporate event at Sixfields is well worth trying, the food was great, the service and staff were amazing and the whole experience was really good. We will go again before the end of the season and will take some friends with us this time."
