Finger foods, red Solo cups and laughter are always in abundance during Grove football Saturdays. This year, other items can be added to that list — Taylor Grocery’s “The South’s Best Catfish”, chicken tenders, hushpuppies, coleslaw and more.
Taylor Grocery is partnering with the Inn at Ole Miss to provide the new tailgating experience beginning Sept. 8 when the Rebels take on the Southern Illinois Salukis.
Taylor Grocery is offering a special tailgating menu that can be found here with several of their staples available in large portions to complement the tailgating experience. The restaurant may add and remove items as the season progresses, said Briana Stewart with Taylor Grocery’s Special Events Catering.
“We have had a large number of customers order food and lug it from their vehicle to the Grove year after year, and as much as we appreciate their business and commitment to Taylor Grocery Special Events Catering,” Stewart said. “We are thankful we can help them out by not having to go through all the physical work to enjoy their favorite foods.”
Customers will need to place their orders by 4 p.m. the Wednesday before a home game. Those orders must be picked up from 120 Alumni Drive (between the Alumni Center and the Inn at Ole Miss) on that Saturday. Pick up times will be dependent on the game time.
Stewart said Taylor Grocery is grateful for the abundance of fans in and around Oxford who trust them to make their tailgating experience the best.
“As always, customers are welcome to place orders for their private college football events off campus; however, they are not limited to this specialized menu,” she said.
The first deadline to preorder food for tailgates is Sept. 5.
