Recommended pubs for away fans?

The nearest pub is William IV on Stockwell Gate (NG18 5QE), which is about a 15-minute walk away, it does have some parking and cars can be left there during the game.

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.

Food available in the area?

The ground is near to retail parks which have a number of food outlets including Nando’s, Bella Italia and Burger King.

With an early kick off on Boxing Day these outlets may not be open much before the game.

Where is the nearest cash machine to the Stadium?

Sainsburys has free to use ATM’s as does Poundland on St Peters Retail park and Mansfield bus station.

What food and drink is available on the concourse at the stadium?

The away end will be serving alcohol.
