We spend about $300 per match to feed people...sometimes its local businesses othertimes its teammates in need of cash who can also cook very well that take that money and provide food, snacks(fruit & granola) and water for both teams...makes for a nice meal...

Thats a very good gesture.
Might pick it up this year.

Best I had was sleaford. Sandwiches, pork pie, sausage roll, hot onion barges, samosas and spring rolls, cocktail sausages, quiche, pizza crisps chips, cakes bought and home made. Enough to feed a nation of cricketers.

Only thing missing was chicken dippers and pink wafers, our team goes nuts for pink wafers.

Hear hear, they do a cracking tea! Owmby also do a wonderful tea, very fatty though : pizzas, hot dogs, cocktail sausages (actual sausages, not tiny ones!), chicken nuggets + dippers, everything!

Shoab68 let me refer you to our teas, you do not have to travel to North America, just Oxford.

300$ is a huge amount of money for a match tea. You guys are real food lovers. Nice gesture to give money for mates in need, Good work Tushar. Being an Indian, I really love the pic of that pure Indian veg food.

The teas at Thorpe Hesley in Rotherham were amazing. I hated batting first then having to keep with 2 ton of scones in my gut!

Lucky enough to get the best tea every home game in the leagues by a distance. Canners will be having a dabble this year, weather permitting

Tush, do you have lots of spectators to feed too?

No mate just the players and if visiting team brings their WAGS we feed them as well. $300 is basically divided into $80 for drinks (mostly water bottles) & snacks (Apples, Bananas, granola bars) and $220 for about 30-35 meals including players from both teams, umps and any accompanying guests with the visiting team.

Although the pic i posted was from a 3 day 5 team tourament so our food budget & quantity was much higher for that.

We play a team on a Sunday in London, name is something to do with Ford cos it was a Ford factory team or something.

Their teas include a couple of bags of crisps, enough sandwiches for about 12 people whove just eaten a roast dinner, and a chocolate roll or 2.

Legendary among my team

That would be Ford sports, we play them and had a similar disappointing experience. In their defence they are stuck with having to use the general bar staff for their teas and were most apologetic, they didn't particuly enjoy the teas themselves.

Ah yes they're the ones. They never look happy with it either, I wouldn't be if it was my club!

I'm a big fan of the Teas at Upminster CC, although any tea that has pizza and pasta is fine with me.

The worst teas I've had were at the already mentioned Ford Sports and Barking CC.

Barking is particularly entertaining because if you don't like Egg and Chilli or mystery paste sandwiches then you ain't eating.

Upminster teas aint shabby. We used to play Eton Manor in the Sunday league before we pulled out, they were shocking!! All the sarnies had mould on them, frozen pizza not even seen the oven and raw.

This reminds me of a match about 10 years ago where we were at home. The guy nominated to do the tea did some usual fare - ham sarnies, sausage rolls, pepperoni pizza, beefy pasta - all well and good until we told him the oppo were vegetarians and the only non-meat options were tea and orange squash. He hastily ran home to knock up something and came back with the only vegetarian items he could find. The visitors weren't impressed with his pickled onion and tomato sauce sarnies.

When I played in one of the Middlesex league, the most loathed away fixture was North London Muslims. Most teams played in North West London, they played in Hackney, the pitch was hard to find and the teas were apparently crap and they took the mickey over what they charged for the teas
