Best place pre game
Normally when I travel from Scotland down I drive so i am straight to the game and then home.
But now I am coming by train I was looking for some advice on best places to grab a pint and maybe a bite to eat pre game.
Last time I came on the train I went to the Brun Lea but that appears to be closed so just looking for ideas

Re: Best place pre game
The Brunlea is now Fitzpatrick's.
Not eaten there myself but some friends have and said it was excellent although service a bit slow.
The Bridge Bierhuis is a favorite with a few on here.

Re: Best place pre game
If you just want quick and easy the Wetherspoons across from McDonald's is still there.
Re: Best place pre game
With all respects if it’s like the past in the Bier House social distancing will be pretty impossible.

New Brew-m for real ale
Belissimo a nice little italian cafe or continentals are nice local places to eat that serve good food and reasonably priced.

Re: Best place pre game
Depends what you want really. I like the Dyche although it can be a little boisterous for some
The Bridge is great any other day but on a match day its too busy for me

Re: Best place pre game
We went in to the Turf before the the match on Saturday, and what a surprise, they have done a great job modernising it.
Re: Best place pre game
Cheers pal, it’s not finished mainly the Beer Garden due to us on with another property but I’m glad you had a great time. We have invested into the Football Club with Advertising so hopefully it might go into a players wages for half a day

Re: Best place pre game
For decent beer and quick food you can't go wrong with Spoons. Great pub crawl now under the Culvert, looking forward to checking out the new look Turf for a beer.

Re: Best place pre game
Also what’s the cricket club like pre match?
Re: Best place pre game
I don’t think there are many Really rough pubs left near the centre now. Most have been refitted to a decent standard just full of working people in a working town. Depends what you want out of a pub tbh

Re: Best place pre game
I have to say, just before lockdown, The Vintage Claret was good but I may give the Turf a look now, too.
I think if you are concerned about social distancing then a pre match pint in any of the nearby pubs wouldn't be advisable. Not a dig at anyone or any pub but they will be busy so it's your call whether you attend or not.
Anyway, wherever we all go let's enjoy being back on the Turf with all our fellow Clarets. Let's get behind our team to beat the, "ever so pretty" Brighton!
I can't frickin' wait

Love the sign about the "Champagne tastes on beer money !!"
Re: Best place pre game
Think we are going to give ‘The Circ’ a go on Saturday after the demise of our usual Talbot. Just up from the Bridge and Loommakers on Bank Parade.
Re: Best place pre game
Wetherspoons sells some good beers but the quality is poor. Without exception every branch pull cask beers in one or two draughts. No head, no taste and flat in 5 minutes. But its cheap so that's all that matters to some. Being honest, I can't speak for the keg beers or lager. I'm not sure they can spoil them.

Agree about spoons. Son works at a busy one in SW London. They buy cask ales close to expiry dates at cheap prices and shift them quickly. Quality not an issue.

Re: Best place pre game
Don't go to The Talbot, like I won't be doing.
Re: Best place pre game
Tends to be where the away fans go. Still plenty of Burnley fans in though. As long as it's dry it's a decent spot.

Re: Best place pre game
From last Saturday;
Boot fairly full, no seats available with plenty of BFC in. Food delivery time = ping quick.
Prinny/Dyche relatively quiet when we arrived close to KO. Like what Justine has done with the beer garden, leather seats from the chairman's box out back, added a balcony with more seating and a few more claret touches.
Park View after the game, think it'll get packed on league games. Hopefully they'll serve outside again if possible. Had a large number of people serving which was good. Absolutely loads of screens for football.
Turf had a few in, not mobbed when we arrived, nice facelift and beer garden starting to look better.
Going to try Coaching Horses next time I'm out, new/old owners. Then get back into the rest of the match day circuit. There's also a 'secret bar' in the vape shop on Keirby Walk for those who haven't been in town for a while.

Re: Best place pre game
Do any of the Park View, Turf, Dyche, Vintage do real ale? (Genuine question as not been drinking around that area for about 18 months!)
Re: Best place pre game
Not sure as I’ve never been in. They do have a Facebook page which will give you an idea. Seems to be lots of craft and real ales which aren’t my cup of tea but favour a number in our group of friends.Transpennine wrote: ↑Tue Aug 10, 2021 8:53 pmThe circ? What this place like? Not heard of it. Cheers.

Re: Best place pre game
Thanks, quite partial to a real ale. (Not craft though, that's like my 2010 vintage homebrew) Will give it a go.

I personally like the “Vols” or the Rifle Volunteer as a nice quiet pre or after match pub, don’t think they do food but I might be wrong there, there’s a TV in the side bar but only a free view one.
