The
Sandy Pate Bar, located under the Ian
Greaves Stand at Field Mill, has free entry for all fans, and
shows live sport on TV. The Sandy Pate bar will normally admit
visiting supporters but sometimes they are not allowed in if
there is a large away following.
. THE TALBOT AND IL ROSSO "The Talbot" is about 50 yards up the road (but on the opposite side) from "Il Rosso" just by Sainsburys. It used to be called the Famous Talbot but for some reason it is not famous any more. Cue for a terrace chant? Food is also available here. There are meters in the Talbot car park but the tickets are redeemable at the bar. Il Rosso used to be called the Plough which used to be a popular pub with supporters. It is now a more up market eatery and they will not admit anybody who is wearing club colours on match days. Both of these pubs have Sky and BT. If there is a large away following, the Talbot is sometimes a home supporters only venue. THE SIR JOHN COCKLE & NELL GWYNN "The Sir John Cockle" is probably not one to be on your list unless you are coming in from Junction 28 of the M1, as it's about half a mile away. But still if you want to give it a try, head up Quarry Lane and turn right at the lights (under the railway bridge) and it's there on the right after the traffic lights on the corner. If you turn left at the lights you will find the Nell Gwynn. This is an interesting small pub and it is almost like walking into somebody’s front room. TOWN CENTRE PUBS
: THE BOLD FORESTER, WILLIAM IV, THE WHEATSHEAF, THE KINGS MILL FARM
These pubs
are a bit further afield, but still worthy of a quick visit if you
have the time. "The Bold Forester" is a large pub between
"The Cockle" and the town centre on Sutton Road. It is part of the
Hungry Horse chain so has good food plus an excellent selection of
real ales. The "William IV" pub is situated just below The Bold
Forest on the same road. The two pubs are either side of the bus
depot. "The Wheatsheaf" is located on Stockwell Gate, the
pedestrian walkway at the bottom of Sutton Road past the bowling
alley. If you want real ale turn left at the Badger Box and about half a mile up on the right just past the miners welfare there is the Squire Musters micropub serving usually 4 real ales. REAL ALE HOSTELRIES
There has been an increase in real ale pubs in the town in recent years.
A popular pub with both home and away supporters is the
Railway on Station Street.
This is less than 10 minutes from the ground.
Go across the retail park behind the North Stand, cross
over the road and the St Peters retail park and the Railway is on
the right in Station Street. It is a small pub with several small
rooms and does tend to get very busy on match days. They have 4
ever changing hand pulled beers and the home cooked food is very
reasonably priced.
If you go past the Railway and go down the right hand side of the viaduct
to the bottom of White Hart Street, turn right and then bear left
by the church, go past the Bridge (no real ale) and go across the
ring road, you will find the Brown Cow on the left about 150 yards
past the ring road. This is
a Raw Brewery pub and usually has about 10 hand pulled beers on
both from the Raw brewery and others.
If you bear to the right at the far side of the market place and head up
Leeming Street you will find the Green Dragon on the left.
This is a Yates pub and usually has 3 reals ales on and
also has Sky and BT.
Just up from the Green Dragon there is a micro pub called the Garrison.
This opened in the spring of 2018 and usually has 5 real
ales on. They have a tie in
with the Moody Fox brewery and usually feature some of their
beers. They also quite
frequently have Sarah Hughes Ruby. There are many other pubs in and around Mansfield, and football supporters from all teams will be given a warm welcome in all of Mansfield's fine hostelries. DISCLAIMER :
