Brighton's Amex Stadium pie and sausage roll supplier posts 'heart-breaking' announcement

If you have seen Brighton play at the Amex Stadium during the past 15 years, the chances are you have had a Piglet's Pantry pie.

Their pies and sausage rolls have been a firm favourite with home and away supporters and helped fuel the Albion fans in their journey from League One to the Premier League and into Europe.

However, rising costs of supplying their pastries to the Amex Stadium on matchdays reached a level that could no longer be sustained by Piglets Pantry.

The company posted: "Fifteen years. Countless pies. Unforgettable memories.

"We're heartbroken to be saying goodbye to the Amex after 15 incredible years. Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey. Please read our full statement below.

"Love, Jo ad The Piglets Team."

Genuinely gutted

The statement added: “As a small business we have always valued the opportunity to be part of the Amex experience and were keen for that relationship to continue.

“However the sponsorship and commercial investment required to maintain our position as a stadium supplier has increased significantly over time, and we have reached a point where we can no longer afford that level of expenditure required.

“Despite exploring every avenue available to us, we are unable to find a sustainable way forward. We are genuinely gutted.”

Who will supply the pies?

Sussex-based manufacturer Higgidy won the tender to supply Brighton and Hove Albion's matchday pies.

Higgidy will supply "200g pies in four flavours, as well as 200g sausage rolls, for all of the Premier League side's home matches next season."
