Pitch-Side Dining at Home Park

With COVID-19 restrictions easing, we are excited to announce the launch of the Pilgrims’ pitch-side restaurant at Home Park.

Home Park Stadium is hosting an al fresco dining night on Friday, July 31 - offering customers the opportunity to enjoy a two-course meal in the open air at the Theatre of Greens, with ambient music and stadium lighting providing a truly unique dining experience, for £35 per person.

In-line with present government guidelines, bookings can be taken for groups of up to six people, with menu selections available on a pre-order basis, and seating times staggered in 15-minute increments to ensure the health and wellbeing of staff and customers alike.

If bad weather forces cancellation of the event, it will be moved, in the first instance, to Friday, August 6.

Booking opportunities for this exclusive dining event are extremely limited, so please call 01752 302206 or email [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] at your earliest convenience to avoid disappointment.

Ginger and Pear Crumble Pie sounds nice but the rest of the menu doesnt excite me,,, wheres the egg and chips option :O

two locally farmed organic and free range eggs, served with slices of yorkshire ham and maris piper potato (grown in cornwall) chips cooked three ways. condiments of ketchup or hp sauce are available. optional bread roll can be requested.

Probably a test run for the new kiosk match day menu.

doubt it not enough room in the corridor in the upper grandstand to squeeze that in up there ..that’s why tendering these kiosks out
Cos they have used every inch possible so the prawn sarnie brigade have lovely matchday expirence underneath
But not so much though if you sit in the upper grandstand though

Doesn't look to be aimed at the traditional football fan.

Perhaps the plan is an "Al fresco Dining experience" with 22 lads kicking a ball about as the cabaret, to avoid the "no fans" rules

This seems a very odd one. They are going to have tables literally pitchside?

They would have to get very very lucky with the weather for that to be a goer. It may well be dry but it could be bleddy cold with any type of breeze.

I think the only people happy to pay £35 (well over the odds) for two courses are the same saps that happily part with the best part of a grand to go on a pre-season official trip. I'll pass.

thinking about it they lost 3 big concerts this summer that got cancelled for the coronavirus so they have to make some of that money back i guess.... not sure how much lamb rump costs more than a leg im sure to make it a worthwhile experience to be honest.

The menu looks very nice !
Hopefully The playing budget looks Just as good to

I agree with Czarks, I was thinking they could have it inside if weather was bad but then social distancing is a mare. It just seems a bit wierd sitting pitch side to eat a meal.

Hope it’s a success, after all the club has lost plenty so need to get some funds in

Seems a rather strange set up to say the least. Spaced out on the touchline with the wind quite possibly blowing. Only the dedicated I suspect will pay out that sort of money.

A booking costs £35 per person, and includes a drink on arrival, a two-course meal, and tea and coffee.
