At the Stadium
Food and Drink
There are food and drink outlets available in all sections of the ground. Queues can be quite long, so it’s often worth not leaving it to the last minute if you want to get food or drink at half time. Alcoholic drinks are not currently offered in the away stand, the Paddock, and Tunnel areas, as the sales point is in view of the pitch.
The Robins Nest is the main social facility at the Stadium. Located at the back of the Smarta Energy Community Stand, it is open to everyone, has a widescreen TV. Numbers are limited, so it’s worth arriving early if you wish to eat and drink.
Once the Robins Nest reaches maximum capacity, it will be necessary to turn supporters away. However, there is an overflow bar close to the entrance which is used when the weather allows. The bar stops serving 15 minutes before kick-off and will not reopen at half time.
There are a variety of pubs in the town centre only a short 15 minute walk away.
