Food Court Pics for the Guildhall

[Wormella]

I was referring to fine and crap establishments, not the type of food they sell.

I can't really think of any crap establishments in Stafford - we're pretty lucky really.

McDonalds, Mr Sizzle, that place near the Market Vaults that I can't remember the name of. There are plenty more but hey ho...

+2 for a Mexican or similar South American street food style establishment.

The chaps who do the street food at the monthly market in town are absolutely amazing! Some thing like that would be perfect

Depends what you consider to be crap and an establishment.

I think 'crap' is the wrong term employed here - there's a range of places, that serve a range of food - if you like it your not is a personal preference. Nothing is of such poor quality that it would make you ill or cause you an issue.

There's nowhere in town I wouldn't eat because I felt the quality was 'something of extremely poor quality' (which is the definition).

I think crap is the perfect term to some up Mr Sizzle and the town centre McDonalds.

Ok, I'll concede on Mr. Sizzle

I do take your point overall though that much of it comes down to personal preference, hence why my list was very brief to avoid controversy.

Mr Sizzle has been my hangover brunch on many an occasion.

 

[Withnail]

looking at those artists impressions it's not going to be a food court but a row of separate units

It seems almost inconceivable that the operators don't seem to understand what a 'food court' actually is.

But ^that isn't one.

 

[Withnail]

I like the fake shop names.

They're living in a dream land if they think they'll entice WH Jones into that unit.

A food court won't make me go into the Guildhall. Only some decent shops will do that but that's not going to happen any time soon.

cant see how a food court will be any use now the College has turned its back on the shopping centre and closed its adjoining entrance - meaning students have to walk around the whole campus to then get back into the Guildhall. It would have been perfect for students at lunch - as would a stationary/book shop. Almost as if they would now need to now walk past the college's own cafes before they got there....

The main entrance is nowhere near the college cafe, it's near the courts? The old entrance you are talking about is in a building that has been mothballed and will likely be destroyed in the not too distant future, so not exactly plausible to allow students to use it.

EDIT: There is a secondary entrance onto the park, that is near the cafe, but is used nowhere near as much as the main entrance as you then have to walk around the college to get anywhere but the train station.

You underestimate how willing students are to walk a bit to not get ripped off. I wish the Aliss Close Premiere had been open when I was in uni halls, would have saved me a fortune over the student shop on campus.

When I was at the Poly, a "certain person who is still about the town" was known to regularly cycle down to the Wolverhampton Road because the chips were 1p cheaper.

Yes but in those days 1p was probably the equivalent of a month's salary.

It was nearly tuppence ha'penny.

 

[McPhee]

It's probably better the students don't go there. A number of them seem allergic to the notion of paying for stuff. I guess stealing is more convenient.

If you have evidence for that I'll happily pass it on, I work at the college and hate thieves.
