Pubs for away fans?
At the ground is the Shrimpers Bar. Although primarily for home fans, it does admit away supporters, apart from ‘high profile’ matches. It serves real ale and has a number of television screens showing the early kick off. Alas, there is little in the way of away fan friendly pubs close to the ground. Both the Spread Eagle pub and Blue Boar pubs are for home fans only, as well as the Railway close to Prittlewell Railway Station. Otherwise the town centre is around a 20-minute walk away, where there are plenty of pubs including a Wetherspoons outlet (called the Last Post on Weston Road), which admits away fans.
Is food available?
There is a good fish and chip shop near to Roots Hall, which is located across the road from the Blue Boar by the traffic lights, called the ‘Fish House’. Otherwise the town centre is a 20+ minute walk away, where several eating outlets are available. The usual food such as burgers and pies are available in the ground along with hot and cold drinks. Alcohol is NOT available in the away end.
Can I get a programme?
Programmes are available, priced at £3.
