gossy Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 following copied from this sitehttp://www.footballgroundguide.co.uk/Where To Eat & Drink? Huw Morris, a West Brom fan, recommends 'The Vine' which is about a 20 minute walk from the ground. From Junction 1 of the M5 turn left towards West Bromwich town centre (opposite direction to the ground). Take the first left into Roebuck Street. The Vine is down on the left. You can also street park in this area and walk to the ground. If you continue towards West Bromwich going over a small mini roundabout, then on the right just before the lights is the Desi Junction pub. This Asian run pub does an excellent 'Balti Buffet'. For £4.95 per adult, you can each as much as you like and I found the food to be pretty good. The buffet is available all day on a Saturday and you can wash it down with a pint of Cobra beer. Alcohol is also available within the ground (on my last visit £2.30 for a can of Carling or Worthington), along with the delicious 'Football's Famous Chicken Balti Pie' (£2.20).Sean Mowat a visiting Sheffield United supporter adds; 'As you pass the ground on the right on the main Birmingham Road. Carry on about another half a mile and there is a pub on the right set back off the road called the Royal Oak. We've been in the last two times we've visited WBA. The beer is okay and they also serve Asian food (try the chicken kebabs!). We found it to have a friendly atmosphere'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolcitysweden Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 which is the best pub to go to for city fans or maybe we should choose one a bit further away from the ground In central Birmingham there is a area called Brindley Place. On both sides of the chanel there are many pubs & restaurants. If nice weather it should be a good alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taunton_City Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 From a WBA fan i know!!Sportsman is a 5 minute walk from the vine but going away from the ground.M5 Junction 1 coming from the south, take the first exit towards West Bromwich town center... Go about 50 meters down that road and take a left onto Roebuck Street. There is street parking all the way down that road, the roads of it and the one at the bottom.At the bottom of Roebuck street on the corner is the vine, it will be rammed though. Probably best going through the gate at the side round to the back rather than push your way through the front bar!! The BBQ is in the very back room and there is also a garden at the back.To get to the sportsman from Roebuck street, head back up the main road and take a left, keep walking towards town and it's on the right hand side of the road, opposite the chip shop. About a 5 minute walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
