The Food Programme - When Saturday Comes

Restaurant critic and lifelong Charlton Athletic fan Jimi Famurewa finds out how football clubs are upping their game when it comes to serving food for their fans. He’ll taste the world at AFC Wimbledon’s Food Village, hear how Forest Green Rovers went vegan and discover the secret liquor behind Leyton Orient’s pie and mash. Food writers Jack Peat and Daniel Gray pitch in with their thoughts on a world that has moved far beyond Bovril and burnt burgers.

Presented by Jimi Famurewa
Produced in Bristol for BBC Audio by Robin Markwell

The Bovril Song was composed by Roger Jackson and Phil Nicholl and performed by Sing! Cambridge in 2013
