Ep.51 – Feeding All of Twickenham with Nils Braude

Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes to feed a hungry crowd at a major stadium? Managing Director of Twickenham Experience, Nils Braude, let Brett McKay & Harry Jones behind the curtain in this week’s episode of The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast.

Covering everything from your typical stadium fare to partnering with street food vendors, right up to Michelin star hospitality catering in Twickenham’s famed East Stand, and all the sheer numbers that go with it: hundreds of thousands of pints of beer on a matchday, venison not by the kilo but by the herd, and chips by the tonne. You may never look at stadium food the same after this.
