Pubs
There is no alcohol served in the away stand
There is a club bar at the ground called the Robins Nest which allows in small numbers of away fans for a £1 admittance fee. Around a ten-minute walk away are the ‘Sudeley Arms’ and ‘The Conservatory’ on Prestbury Road on the outskirts of the town centre. There is even a decent fish & chip shop situated in-between the two. To find these pubs, turn right out of the club car park, and then turn left at the end of the road. Go straight over the roundabout, and The Sudeley Arms is on your left, and the Conservatory is further up on your right. It is no more than a ten-minute walk from the ground.
Otherwise very near to the ground is the Parklands Social Club, where you can also park your car, simply go down Whaddon Road, passing the ground and the bowling club on your left. Take the first left hand turn and the entrance to the social club car park is a short distance down on the left.
