It will also introduce more draft beer service points.
Wolves managing director, Laurie Dalrymple, said: “We are delighted to announce Levy UK as our new catering partner and we are really looking forward to some of the benefits our supporters will see as our partnership progresses.
“Fan experience is at the heart of everything we do and it was absolutely integral to us that whoever we appointed would bring an improved experience when purchasing food and beverage inside and around Molineux.
“Levy UK has proven themselves across a host of prestigious and highly regarded sporting and non-sporting venues, and we’re excited to welcome them to the team as we continue our journey, growing on and off the pitch.”
