Norwich City football fans are applauding the introduction of upscale cuisine at the club’s stadium, where renowned chef Delia Smith holds a prominent role.
The Championship contenders are delighting their supporters with a sophisticated dish on their menu: garlic chicken with cheddar fondue, smoked bacon, aioli, and crispy onions. This delectable offering has graced the tables of fans at Carrow Road throughout the current season.
Despite the £8.50 price tag for this pre-match treat, fans have expressed enthusiasm rather than hesitancy over the cost. One supporter, James Burgess, enthusiastically exclaimed, “That looks amazing.” Another chimed in, stating, “I’d attend a game just for that and occasionally check the on-pitch action.” A third playfully responded with a simple “Phwoar.”
At the helm of this culinary evolution is TV cooking icon Delia Smith, aged 82, who serves as a joint majority shareholder of Norwich City alongside her husband, Michael Wynn Jones. Delia gained recognition in 2005 for her memorable on-pitch declaration, “Let’s be ‘avin’ you,” aimed at rallying the crowd.
Sam Tracy playfully echoed Delia’s rallying cry, humorously noting, “Let’s be avin you.” Meanwhile, a slightly envious Spurs fan, Martyn Nequest, playfully exclaimed, “Scran Delia,” using a British colloquialism for food.
Sitting in the second spot in the league standings, Norwich City has secured three victories out of their first four games of the season. Following their relegation in 2022, the team is fervently pursuing promotion to the Premier League.
With the introduction of gourmet offerings overseen by Delia Smith, the football experience at Carrow Road is not only being elevated on the pitch but also at the dining table, delighting fans with delectable options that are worthy of applause.
