This weekend promises to provide a truly unique sporting spectacle, as Major League Baseball is played at London Stadium for the first time in Europe.Â
The first MITEL & MLB Present London Series is being contested between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees over Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 June.
If you’re lucky enough to have a ticket for either game, we’ve put together a handy food and drink companion to your visit.
Â
There are a wide range of food and drink options both inside and outside London Stadium to provide a unique flavour to your baseball weekend.
Closest to your seats are our concourse kiosks, offering you the chance to sample our American-flavoured menus without missing any of the action unfolding in the ballpark.
Our catering team, Delaware North, have put together some bespoke menus together for this weekend's occasion.
We’ll be serving our Boomstick - a two-foot-long hot dog covered in braised beef American chili and jalapeno cheese sauce, before being finished with tomato & chilli relish, spring onions and jalapenos.
Our Boomstick Nachos are very similar – two feet of corn tortilla chips topped served with the same toppings as the hot dogs, again finished with tomato & chilli relish, spring onions, jalapenos and sour cream.
As well as our Prime beef burger, we’ll be serving a Dirty Beets veggie burger - Spinach & kale burger served in a beetroot bap with baby gem lettuce, beef tomato and a jalapeno cheese sauce.
Vegetarian fans can also enjoy our Homeplate Nachos, served jalapeno cheese sauce, tomato & chilli relish, spring onions, jalapenos and sour cream.
If you’re looking for thirst-quenchers, we’ve been working with Battersea’s Mondo Brewery on a special IPA brewed just for this weekend. We’ll also be offering themed cocktails to celebrate the two teams - keep an eye out for our New Yorker & Bostonian cocktails served around London Stadium.
Â
We’ve got a range of card-only kiosks to ensure the smoothest, quickest possible experience for fans, saving you time and ensuring you don’y miss a minute of the game - and please be aware that we don’t accept American Express cards at London Stadium. If you’re after cash, the nearest cash point to the venue is situated at the Podium Cafe, next to the ArcelorMittal Orbit - please visit before you enter the stadium as there’s no readmittance if you leave.
Â
As well as these unique food products, you’ll be able to lose your self in the authentic MLB experience with our Hawkers - vendors selling cold beer, hot dogs and snacks direct to your seat from the stands.
We’ll have more than 150 of these Hawkers around the stands throughout both games.
Our stadium island is packed with a range of catering units offering a wide range of dishes and drinks to fit any diet - and we’ve highlighted some of the finest vendors that’ll be stationed at the venue this weekend.
Set up in 2015 by duo David and Ben, Wingmans (situated next to Bridge Four) have gone from a roaming pop up, winning multiple awards, to having recently established their first permanent restaurant in Kilburn.
Their signature buttermilk wings will take you on a round-the-world trip, while the Shanghai Oriental serves up Chinese flavours with ginger, spring onion, red chilli and black sesame. In addition, the Raj Mahal delivers classic Indian flavours - mango and curry leaf, crushed poppadums and coconut chutney.
