Match Day Takeaway Great Barr | Football Night Food

Q: Can I order finger food only?

Yes, chicken strips (£4.49), garlic bread (£3.99), mozzarella sticks (£4.99) and onion rings (£3.49) all stack well with pizzas for a sharing-platter night.

Q: Do you cater for veggie and vegan mates?

Yes. Swap in a Veggie Deluxe pizza, a Halloumi Burger (£7.29) or a Paneer Tikka & Rice, so nobody at the match is stuck with just fries.

The best match day takeaway in Great Barr is one that lands hot, feeds everyone and doesn't cost a fortune, which is exactly what the Kebys Full House at £54.99 and the Party Feast at £34.99 were built to do. Get the order right and you're the host who nailed it. Get it wrong and you're still waiting on food when the first goal goes in.

This guide covers what to order, when to order it, and how to make sure the food is on the table before kickoff, not during the second half. Delivery through the apps covers Great Barr, Perry Barr, Kingstanding, Hamstead and out towards Streetly and Sutton Coldfield, so wherever you're watching the game, we can sort it.

What should you order for a match day takeaway?

A match day spread is grazing food, not a sit-down dinner. You want variety, plenty of it, and everything eaten with one hand while the other holds a drink. A few rules that hold up every time:

Pick variety, not volume. Two 16" pizzas plus burgers beats one giant anything. People want a slice, then a burger, then a few fries, not a single heavy plate.
Time it for kickoff, not after. Aim to have the food down 5 to 10 minutes before the whistle, not arriving mid build-up to the second goal.
Go finger food, not knife-and-fork. Pizzas, burgers, fries, garlic bread and strips travel and share well. Rice boxes need cutlery, so save those for a quieter night.
Buy more drink than you think. A 1.5L bottle disappears fast among five thirsty adults. Add a second, or throw in a few cans at £1.40 each so nobody's dry at half-time.
Order for the shape of the game. A tense derby means heads down and less grazing early, so front-load the finger food. A relaxed dead-rubber means people pick all evening, so lean into pizzas and sides that hold up.

If you're new to the shop and want the full lay of the land, our guide to everything Kebys does in Great Barr walks through the menu, the hours and how ordering works.

The Full House, £54.99 (feeds 4 to 6)

This is the match-day default. One bundle, one bag, the whole room fed:

Two 16" pizzas, any from the menu. A Pepperoni King and a Meaty Mountain covers the meat-lovers, or a Pepperoni King and a Veggie Deluxe keeps a mixed group happy.
Four burgers, any choice. Double Beef is the standard, or upgrade to the signature Kebys Hot House if your crew likes a proper chilli kick.
Two large fries
Four desserts, cheesecake slices or ice cream.
One 1.5L bottle, your pick of soft drink.

Everything is timed to leave the kitchen together. Pizzas out of the oven, burgers off the grill, fries straight from the fryer, packed insulated and on the road within minutes. For more ways to feed a crowd on a budget, our roundup of family takeaway deals in Great Barr breaks down the numbers.

The Party Feast, £34.99 (feeds 3 to 4)

The smaller-crowd option. Lighter on burgers, heavier on pizza:

Two 16" pizzas
Two large fries
One 1.5L bottle

Plenty for three or four. Bulk it into a proper sharing platter by adding a couple of sides, garlic bread at £3.99 and chicken strips at £4.49 come to £8.48 extra and turn it into a grazing table.

Sides that earn their place

To stack alongside either bundle:

Chicken Strips (5), £4.49, proper finger food.
Garlic Bread (4 pieces), £3.99, the universal pizza sidekick.
Mozzarella Sticks (5), £4.99, share or guard them, your call.
Onion Rings, £3.49, crisp and made for passing round.
Ice Cream, £2.99, or a cheesecake slice at £3.99, a hit with the kids.

The Food Standards Agency is worth a glance if you're keeping food warm between the order landing and kickoff, hot food is best eaten within a couple of hours. In practice, ours turns up ready to go, so it rarely comes up.

How early should you order before kickoff?

Timing is the whole game. We're open Tuesday to Saturday, 4pm to 10pm only, and Friday and Saturday evenings are our busiest windows, so the earlier you get the order in, the tighter the timing. Use this as your guide:

Kickoff time	Order by
12:30pm (lunchtime)	We're closed until 4pm, plan around it
3pm (Saturday classic)	We're closed until 4pm, plan around it
5:30pm	Order by 4:30pm, the first half hour after we open is quietest
7:45pm (Tue to Sat)	Order by 6:30pm
8pm (Thursday European nights)	Order by 6:45pm

If a Sunday or Monday fixture is on, we're closed, so stock up on a Saturday or plan ahead. Most evening Premier League and European kickoffs land squarely inside our open hours, which is the good news, the awkward ones are the 3pm Saturday classics that finish before we open.

The rough journey times, once you've ordered: collection is 20 to 25 minutes, delivery is 30 to 55 minutes depending on how busy the night is. Build that into your kickoff maths and you'll never be caught short.

One more tip for the big nights. If a marquee fixture is on and you know the whole street will be ordering, get yours in a full hour before you actually need it and ask for it timed. We would rather hold your bag insulated for ten minutes than have you standing at the counter while the anthems play. A little planning turns a stressful scramble into a takeaway that just appears, hot, right on cue.

Should you choose delivery or collection on match day?

Both work. It comes down to whether you value speed or not leaving the sofa.

Collection wins on speed and control. There's free parking right outside on Bowstoke Road, just off Newton Road near the Scott Arms. Order online ahead at kebys.co.uk, pick up about 20 minutes later, and you decide exactly when the food leaves the shop. For a guaranteed 8pm kickoff, place the collection order by 7pm.

Delivery wins on convenience. You don't move. Order direct at kebys.co.uk, which is the cheapest route, or through Uber Eats, Just Eat or Deliveroo. Factor in 30 to 55 minutes, with the longer end on a Friday or Saturday peak, and place the delivery order by 6:30pm for an 8pm kickoff. We run out to Great Barr, Perry Barr, Kingstanding, Hamstead, Pheasey and Erdington, so most of B43 and the surrounding postcodes are covered.

Which match day takeaway suits your group?

Different crowds, different orders. Here's how to match the food to the room.

Three mates, a midweek European tie

Two 12" pizzas, a Pepperoni King (£10.99) and an American Hot (£12.99), £23.98
One Kebys Hot House burger, £7.29
Two large fries, £9.98
One 1.5L bottle, £2.49
Total: £43.74, around £14.58 a head, and there'll be slices left over.

Mixed crowd, Saturday evening kickoff

The Full House at £54.99 for 4 to 6, done. One order, everyone fed, no maths at the table.

A couple watching alone

Two Munchboxes at £13.49 each, £26.98, and each box has a burger, kebab meat, salad and fries. Our breakdown of the Kebys Munchbox shows exactly what lands in the box.
Or the Meal Deal for 2 at £22.99, two 12" pizzas plus small fries and a drink each.

A veggie or vegan in the group

Nobody sits there with just fries. Swap a pizza for a Veggie Deluxe, add a Halloumi Burger (£7.29) or a Paneer Tikka & Rice (£7.99), and the veggie crowd is sorted alongside everyone else. If you want ideas for a full non-meat spread, BBC Good Food has plenty of game-night inspiration to riff on.

Great Barr is spoilt for a big night in, as the Birmingham Mail food pages regularly point out, and a proper match-day takeaway is one of the easiest wins going. Sort the order, pour the drinks, and enjoy the game.
