The Sir John Cockle on the junction of the A38 and B6014 will also welcome Mariners with families/children. This is around 25 minutes away.
The Bold Forester on Botany Avenue is a 20 minute walk from the ground but is a decent option for food.
Alternatively, the town centre has a number of pubs that may accept away fans.
Please note that with an early kick off and Boxing Day opening hours – there may be little time to visit pubs before the game itself.
