Manchester’s New Catering Dream Team…

In a twist more thrilling than a last-minute penalty, Manchester City FC and the Oak View Group have whipped up a new catering colossus to spice up the munchies at the Etihad Stadium and Co-op Live! Yes, folks, this isn’t just any sandwich deal—it’s an epic crossover event that’s larger than a manager’s post-match rant! Under the zany name Eastlands Venue Services, they’re planning to serve up standards hotter than a striker’s boot on derby day.

Leading this culinary conga line is Mike Green, the midfield maestro of dining delights, whose footy field is the frying pan. With an army of 80 full-timers and a legion of 3,000 casuals drafted straight from the Greater Manchester football stands, it’s like creating a dream team of pie makers. They promise to deliver this tasty tiki-taka all 365 days of the year, setting fans up with service platters aplenty—or perhaps just a jolly good pie and pint, who knows?

With the skills of Roel de Vries and Jessica Koravos calling the shots, it’s a job-stability strike straight into the back of the net! But wait, there’s more! This dynamic duo pledges to pour education and opportunity into Greater Manchester like gravy over chips. Get ready because the future of fan feasting is on a roll—a buttery, succulent one at that! Meanwhile, Co-op Live is already planning to expand like a league table’s goal differential, aiming to include a cafe, bar, and more fun than a Magician at a mascot show!
