just a quick question for the Frankston followers on here, does the Club do meals before the game? And if so, are they of good size and quality? TIA, WFW
Do you mean president's functions? They do have one going before the game I believe and will include meals but I've never been to one, so no idea what the quality is like.
The function is scheduled for 5:30 PM before the game. Tickets available via Intix for $60 ($50 for Frankston members)
thanks, i wasn't really thinking of the president's dinner but that is an option - i was really thinking of whether the Club does meals in your flash new social club as my group who will be attending the match would rather support the FFC than one of the nearby pubs
Not to my knowledge unfourtunately, although we generally don't sit inside the social club during games. It's something I would like to see happen. I think with some extra TV's mounted inside the social club and meals provided, the place could be turned into a decent sports bar (especially with the AFL or other sports always on during or around match times.)
My dad once mentioned the idea of the club doing a deal with local restaurants and takeaway places to provide meals on gameday, or even offering a meal discount to members of travelling clubs to encourage them to take in some of what Frankston has to offer. It'd provide something for those who make the trip down here and also give back to the local businesses around Frankston that have provided sponsorship for years.
If you are looking for meals while you're down here, the Cheeky Squire is a short distance away and does great food from my experience. Frankston RSL also has a great sports bar with pub meals on offer.
Very fortunate to have attend many president lunches during the Roosters time in the VFL & the hospitality & quality of the meals was second to none. Had a bit of luck on the Pokies also.
Wally, the club does do the president's function from I think 5:30pm for $60 - with a guest speaker, but not sure who that is for round 1. I'm pretty sure you can get a meal without being at the function, but can't recall the details as I haven't done that for a couple of years. From memory it was $25-30 for a very nice roast. The snack bar stocks a fair bit of hot food, and there is a sausage sizzle running over on the grandstand side these days. As upthedolphins said, The Cheeky Squire is just down the road, as is the Grand Hotel, both with really nice meals. I will be at the club tonight and will try to get some more info about the meals for you.
Just confirmed that the only full meals on Friday will be as part of the President's function. Canteen will still have hot food but I'd suggest looking at some of the pubs around town for a full feed. They're all pretty decent quality.

We might be from the bush. but we ain't green
Does that include a drinks package or is that $60 for (I assume 2 course) meal ?
Casey had the best value of money presidents lunch, $35 2 hour drink package and on both occasions we attended very welcoming to away supporters.

According to the advertisement, the $60 includes:
- Gate ticket
- Buffet dinner
- Half time snacks
- Pre-game address from the coach
- Guest speaker
- Cash bar
From that last point, my impression is that drinks are an extra expense.
