The family have a farm beside Ponteland, and son Rob runs his food van at big shows as well as now Berwick, where his father Big Rob is still well revered. Rob has always been very independant, and has been in his business a number of years now after retiring from riding. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ruffdiamond 6,115 Posted November 22, 2019 All this talk about food is making me hungry,,, but a wonder if our landlords would allow a food truck on site? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We used to have our own burger van in the mid/early 00's in front of the office block, supposed to be to save disabled people from going upstairs to the bar kitchen. We were charged £150 rent for the spot by the stadium, but it took a lot of trade off the other outlet especially as the burgers were freshly made by a local butcher, and they are made from prime beef. Used to sell tea and coffee, and there was alway a queue everytime you looked. I'll bet that's made you more hungry now. Good idea for Rob that, helps the disabled of course.

Av got steak tonight mate Just thinking that having your own food truck might go a long way to help balance the books and, as we have new more lenient/approachable landlords now, it might/could be an option. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know I'm getting ahead of myself just slightly,, but if they are buying the club, I wonder if they have space on their farm to build our own track and save themselves thousands a year on rent and loss of catering money. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
