New Season, New Snacks: Fresh Food Options Coming to Braehead Arena

As we gear up for another exciting season of Glasgow Clan hockey, we’re proud to reveal some delicious news: our food offering is getting a major upgrade.

Thanks to new partnerships with REAL Hand Cooked Crisps (via Tayto), Swizzels, and Pieminister, fans can look forward to a whole new range of tasty treats available across Braehead Arena.

This revamped offering includes REAL Hand Cooked Crisps in bold flavours, Swizzels Squashies for something sweet, and Pieminister Handy Pies – a convenient, flavour-packed option perfect for game night.

Russell Smith, CEO of Braehead Arena, said:

We’re excited to welcome Pieminister, Swizzels, Rollover, and REAL Hand Cooked to Braehead Arena as our new food and snack partners. Each brings something unique to the table, and together they help us raise the bar for the fan experience.
We know great events deserve great food – and this is just the start of a bigger commitment to offering more choice, varied menus, better quality, and a more memorable experience for everyone who walks through our doors.

REAL Hand Cooked Crisps, part of the Tayto Group, are known for their hand-cooked snacks made with real ingredients and big, bold flavours.

Clare Scallon, Marketing Manager at Tayto, said:

We’re REAL-ly thrilled to be teaming up with Braehead Arena, the iconic Glaswegian destination for unforgettable events. REAL Hand Cooked Crisps’ punchy knock-out flavours are an ideal pairing with the arena – both are full bags of character and perfect for creating memories together.

Pieminister is an award-winning pie maker based in the UK, known for premium, responsibly sourced ingredients and clever formats like their handheld “Handy Pies.”

Craig Jones, Marketing Manager at Pieminister, added:

We’re delighted to be partnering with Braehead Arena ahead of the new season. When we met with Russ and Ross, we were excited to hear about the ambitious plans for the venue and how we could work together to take the food offer to the next level for fans. We’re looking forward to bringing our cleverly convenient Handy Pies to the Glasgow Clan fans!

Swizzels is one of the UK’s longest-standing sweet manufacturers and the name behind favourites like Drumsticks, Love Hearts and Squashies.

Ben Cooper, National Account Controller – Wholesale, Swizzels, said:

Swizzels are delighted to announce our latest partnership – this time with the amazing team at the excellent Braehead Arena and Glasgow Clan – our 1st partnership with an ice hockey team in the UK. Squashies can now be enjoyed 7 days a week at the premier ice facility in West Scotland, adding to the fun of skating yourself or cheering on your favourite Ice Hockey Team – what’s not to love?

Alongside these exciting new partners, the arena has also expanded its relationship with Rollover, which means Clan fans can now enjoy their full menu – including chicken tenders, burgers, and breakfast-style baps – available on rotation throughout the season.

We’re committed to enhancing the game night experience for our Purple Army, and we hope you’re just as excited as we are to try out the new selection.
