The iconic Brunton Pasty could make a return to Carlisle United next season.

The Blues have revealed that the popular product is in line to be back on the menu for fans at United's ground.

Catering partners John Watt are currently 'testing' a version of the pasty ahead of a relaunch in the 2022/23 campaign.

The Brunton Pasty was for many years a staple of the culinary offerings at Brunton Park.

The minced beef and vegetable-filled pasty has not been available recently.

But ts could now return amid the latest review of United's food provisions at the ground.

In supporters' group (CUSG) minutes, Peter Johnston from John Watt "said the ‘Brunton pasty’ was being tested with a view to coming back for next season."

United, meanwhile, are working on further additions to their food and drink provisions.

The minutes added: "The club was about 80 per cent of the way towards planning the installation of a new outside container bar for next season in the Fan Zone.

"This had a six week lead time. The club was waiting for a quote to dig up the car park and install an electrical supply. Heineken have done a deal to enable this.

"The fit out of the bar was still to sort. CUOSC funds will be used towards the cost of providing cover (marquee) if viable.

"Car park access will be affected. Peter said that the fan zone had proved successful in ways that can’t always be measured. People are coming down to the ground earlier. The late rush for tickets has been reduced.

"Volumes were better than expected for all catering outlets, he reported. However, massive challenges remained with staffing. Beer price and VAT increases have not been passed on so far and absorbed by the club.

"Food prices will be an issue for the next six months or so, he said. Products, prices and operations all under review for next season.

"There will be more beer choices for next season, along with pre-match entertainment being planned in the East Stand concourse. The fish and chip van will be back."

United, meanwhile, said they are looking at improvements to their corporate hospitality.

"The takings were increasing and sponsors will be back next season in the Sponsor’s Lounge," the minutes added.

The supporters groups are, meanwhile, seeking someone to chair CUSG meetings, from July 1 onwards.

Anyone interested can look at the job description on the club website and, if interested, contact hello@cusg.co.uk by Monday 6 June 2022.
