Johnny’s (jeb1968) Guide to Pubs & Grub

For those of us who like and drink and a feed on match day, listed below are some of the options available.

Pubs and beer:

The Southbank:

This pub is located on Trent Bridge and is a sports bar. Large TV screens everywhere always showing a good mixture of sporting programmes. A good variety of beers and a decent menu. The Big Breakfast is superb, as many TF members will testify to! Another attraction of this bar is the landlords ability to come up with ‘’sexy signings’’ year after year for his bar staff!!!!! On match day, there are bouncers on the door and ID will be asked for if you don’t look old enough – therefore, no kids allowed.

Casa:

This pub can be found on the city side of the river Trent. Fairly sparse inside, but on a nice day its advantage is a large outdoor seating area, so convenient if you are bringing the kids. Good selection of beers. As this pub is on route from the station to the ground, away supporters can also be found in there. After a pint or two in Casa, the walk across Trent Bridge to the City Ground is always a great view and a sense of pride

The Stratford Haven:
The Stratford Haven is situated on Stratford Road, which is of Bridgford Road, behind Trent Bridge cricket ground. It has a fantastic selection of real ales and a decent bar menu. There is also a small outdoor area. This pub is becoming very popular with Forest fans on matchday.

Trent Bridge Inn:

The world renowned Trent Bridge Inn! Situated opposite County Hall and Trent Bridge. A large pub with good size rooms, although as with many pubs on matchday, it does get very busy. Good selection of beers and good bar menu. There is also a cash machine inside the pub – handy for when the one at the City Ground has run out of money! There are bouncers on matchday and it is primarily Forest fans that use this pub.

The Hubble:
Situated just up the road from the club shop. A cellar bar that sells a fair selection of beers. Can get hot and sweaty when busy.

Amici Bar:
Fairly new establishment, situated on Radcliffe Road next to where the petrol station used to be. A wine bar and brasserie, it has a good selection of drinks and a decent menu. On some matchdays they offer Kids meals for a quid.

Sportsmans:

This club can be found right outside the gates to the City Ground. It operates a membership scheme, but non-members can sometimes be admitted for £1.00 if attending with a member. This club is packed with Forest pictures and memorabilia. As it is run as a club the beer prices are a lot cheaper than the other pubs. Also has a big screen for live sporting events.

Britannia Rowing Club:
This club can be found by walking towards the Trent End from Trent Bridge, or past the Trent End from Lady Bay Bridge. Although small, it does offer a decent priced beer and is very handy for a quick last pint before the game.

Food:

Apart from the fine catering facilities available at the City Ground (!), there are many eating establishments in the vicinity. Most of them can be found on Radcliffe Road.

Bridgford Fish Bar:
Found on Radcliffe Road, next to the junction with Colwick Road. All the usual delights of a ‘chippy’ plus it also sells kebabs and southern fried chicken. At the rear is a seating area, but be prepared to pay more for sitting down and dining in. Reasonably priced and good food.

McDonalds:

Surely no introduction needed here? All the ususal McD’s fayre and can be found on Radcliffe Road next to the Toyota garage.

Pappas Restaurant:

Again on Radcliffe Road – a fine café-bar and restaurant. Excellent menu choice and seating outside available.

Bombay:
Situated right opposite the Trent Bridge Inn. A fine curry house, extensive menu and good service. Word of warning – some curries send you to sleep – don’t they Jags!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Teresa’s

Teresa’s Sandwich Bar – opposite the Hubble Bar, just up from the club shop. Been around for years this one – great selection of sandwiches and soft drinks. Ideal if your short of time. Take-away only.

Obviously there are more pubs and eating places within the vicinity of the City Ground, but these are the ones I have visited over the last 30 years. I hope they are of some use, particularly to those supporters who travel from afar.

Maybe see some of you for a beer or 5!

All the best,

Johnny.
