The SKY posse rolled into Hove last night with their three pantechnicons, camera scaffolding, miles of wires and leads and an
assortment of famous cricket commentators including Mark Butcher, Nick Knight, Paul Allott and Chris Adams.
Yet, the most important truck was parked well away from the milieu as Rupert Murdoch believes in the Napoleon creed, “An
army marches on its stomach.”
This catering truck, located to the right side of the old Newbury building, was manned by Adam, a Polish Chef, who has been an
employee of the Murdoch empire for several years. He devises, cooks and serves the menu alongside an assistant at all sports
games televised by SKY within the London area and the south from Taunton to Canterbury. There is a separate catering truck
and crew for north of the metropolis. For each sporting event Adam creates a new menu.
This is the one for Glamorgan’s match:
Menu
Honey Ginger Chicken
Chilli Con Carne
Spinach Mushroom Lasagne
Fish Pie
French fries, corn on the cob, root vegetable mash, green beans, new potatoes
*
Chocolate fudge cake or bakewell tart with custard or cream.
Adam - the SKY Polish Chef
The food is purportedly of excellent quality. The staff eat one hour before the game begins. Only soft drinks are served as
alcoholic beverages are banned. Some staff have special dietary requirements - one famous football commentator is allergic
to pepper vegetables, for example. At county cricket games Adam cooks for up to 65 people. At Test matches 200. He’s off
to ‘The Oval’ today and ‘Lords’ on Thursday.
Ironically, Adam is not interested in cricket. He doesn’t understand the game and rarely sees the action. Football is more his sport.
