Stopping Off On Friday

Leaving nice and early on Friday afternoon to beat the Friday Traffic before the match, has anyone any suggestions of a decent place to stop for a bite to eat thats well on the way ?

 

On similar note, is there pub near ground or in town ok which R's fans are heading for??

 

Here is a useful link that may help.

It recommends the Marquee Bar for away supporters. Sorry as I can't help with a stop off on your journey up to Wigan.

 

I went a few seasons back and there were some pubs near the station. As i recall there wasn't too much going on around the ground

 

In terms of a stop off on the way there is a nice hotel in Sandbach http://www.chimneyhouse-hotel.co.uk/

Just of J17 M6. Decent bar meals and a nice change from the usual services.

 

Just off Jnct 25 there's the Taybarn. Or go on to 26 and at the top of the slope turn left (to Orrell). 100 yds on the left there's a pub/restaurant called Hungry Horse

 

Didn't we play them at 11:30 or something stupid there a couple of years ago? I distinctly remember a mediocre breakfast in a Frankie and Benny's by the ground.

 

Thanks for the info lads.

 

Oi Stainsey..........................give 'em hell mate!!

See you Monday.

 

Wetherspoons near station area is always good value to eat and drink in. It's also a hotel, but could not get booked in. Excellent website recommended by UTRs. Some useful info. Only my second away this season, other was at Goodison. We were there but the team wasn't. Sure it will be different this time?

 

I can second that, it's just up the road from me. Can remember waiting outside there once for the team to leave for a game at Crewe, if it was good enough for them......
