Around The Ground:
There are many public houses in the town centre which is only a ten minute walk from the ground. Although not all are away support friendly. However, Early Doors pub next to Currys is across from the ground is extremely away friendly and welcomes families and all responsible fans. They serve up a good range of food and have a well stocked bar. This establishment encourages friendly interaction between home and away fans.

The Lord Byron at the top of Quarry Lane where it joins Sheepbridge Lane is another pub that welcomes all supporters and is a very quick walk to the ground. Turn right at the gates of Field Mill and follow the road under the archway and the Byron is on the corner on your right hand side.

Red on the Square is the new kid on the black and is situated in the town centre, it is a newly decorated pub and welcomes well behaved and responsible fans where Martin and his staff will look after your thirst needs. A nice bar inn the afternoon but a great bar to visit later in the day when the music is cranked up by DJ Billy and the beer starts really starts to flow.

Within walking distance from the ground there are lot's of places to eat, McDonalds, Burger king, Kentucky fried chicken and fish & chip shops. If you would prefer to grab a quick sandwich you can visit the pubs or nip into Sainsbury's which sell pre packed food as well as the usual products you would expect from this supermarket chain.

For those who are staying over in Mansfield there are a number of hotels and guest houses within easy reach of the ground and the town centre but please note most bars and clubs will not allow you in the premises in football colours and trainers in the evening. All though smart casual is acceptable at most venues.
