Shop terms & conditions

Last updated: 18 August 2026

1. About the service

Food and drink ordered through this portal is sold by Dumbarton Football Club for collection from the club's pie huts at the stadium. The portal is operated on our behalf by Vertex Engage. There is no delivery to seats.

2. Placing an order

Your order is an offer to buy. A contract is formed when we confirm your order and issue your collection code. Prices are shown in pounds sterling and include VAT where applicable. We may refuse or cancel an order — for example if an item sells out or a pricing error is spotted — and will refund you in full.

3. Payment

Orders are paid for online by card at checkout, handled by our payment provider. We do not store your card details. Your order is only prepared once payment has been confirmed.

4. Collection

  • Choose your pie hut and collection slot (pre-match, half-time or full-time) at checkout.
  • Show your 6-character collection code at the counter to collect.
  • Half-time slots are busy — please collect promptly. Orders not collected by 15 minutes after the end of the match will be disposed of for food safety reasons and cannot be refunded.
  • Anyone presenting your collection code may collect the order, so keep it to yourself.

5. Allergens and food safety

Our kitchens handle cereals containing gluten, milk, eggs, soya, mustard, celery and sulphites, so we cannot guarantee any item is free from a given allergen. If you have a food allergy or intolerance, please speak to pie hut staff before ordering. Food is prepared hot and should be consumed promptly.

6. Changes, cancellations and refunds

Because food is prepared to order, the statutory 14-day cancellation right does not apply once preparation has started. If you need to cancel, contact pie hut staff as soon as possible and before preparation begins. If an item is unavailable, wrong, or not fit to eat, tell staff at the counter on the day and we will replace it or refund that item. Refunds are made to the original payment method within 5–10 working days.

7. Age-restricted items

Where alcohol or other age-restricted items are offered, proof of age (Challenge 25) is required at collection and licensing rules apply. We may refuse service without refund where proof is not provided.

8. Availability

Menu items depend on stock and may sell out during a match. Sold-out items are marked in the app but stock can change between ordering and collection; in that case we will offer an alternative or a refund.

9. Liability

We are responsible for loss you suffer that is a foreseeable result of us breaking these terms, but we are not liable for missing part of a match while collecting, or for other indirect losses. Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or your statutory rights.

10. Your data and contact

Order data is handled as set out in our privacy policy. For any order query, speak to pie hut staff on the day or email info@dumbartonfc.co.uk. These terms are governed by the law of Scotland.
