Eating out:
After two years of closure, the fully refurbished Victoria reopened in mid-2006. It's a small, one-roomed pub, with the bar to one side, and what the owners call 'the restaurant' the other. As well as the main menu, which is changed every eight weeks, there's a lunch menu of sandwiches, salads and other quick-to-prepare dishes. Starters might well include sarsaparilla-glazed pork ribs; smoked duck pikelet; and kipper and poached egg salad. Among the main courses are possibilities such as steamed pink veal pudding; shoulder of mutton hotpot; oven-roasted monkfish; and goat's cheese and butternut squash ravioli, while typical puddings are brandy-soaked spotted dick; and white chocolate and gingernut cheesecake. If traveling by car it would only take 5 minutes and approx 8 miles from the ground
Mine's a pint:
There is a bar inside the ground called the Noel White Suite, which is situated under the Main Stand. It welcomes all fans, but is not available at half time. Otherwise in Moss Road there a couple of pubs nearby; called the 'King George' and the 'Bridge Inn'. The King George is further up Moss Lane past the allotments, whilst 'The Bridge' is the other way up Moss Lane, near Tesco and the station.
