Duracell Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 We're bored with the Toby Carvery before the match. Any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Harvester is nice, but does get busy. I think it depends on how much per head you're willing to spend, I think Chiquito is decent, probably wouldn't go before a game, more of a subway man myself in that aspect but it's got good food and a good bar, a bit pricey for a pre-match meal around £15 a head and then drinks.

Dambuster Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 No, because if I tell you & everyone else I probably won't get a table next time. I did see 2 Blackpool fans in there though on Saturday & wrote my management application on the back of the menu for them to hand in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the response, but that's too pricey. Me Dad is fed up with the guy who serves the Carvery in Chad, he wants a sit down meal with beer and knifes and forks but he's a tight arse that probably won't spend more than £7.50.

ladyram Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Frankie & Benny's, have a look at the specials menu (not bad for lower prices), but either go early or better still ring up beforehand and try and get a table otherwise you've no chance.

westbrom1404 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Didn't know there was a toby carvery around, how long does it take to walk from the toby to the stadium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been looking there and trying to persude my Dad to take me there. I'm a poor student so it doesn't matter where we go, he's paying, that's why he's not too keen on that. Gah, parents.

It's in Chaddesden, and it's a fifteen/twenty minute walk, but it's an easy one. If you park by the pub and you're heading down South after the game it's a very quick getaway too, I live (mostly) in Kettering but I'm home by quarter to seven most home games.

I'm by the University (I'm a student), so going through town and then towards the Toby and back again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyram Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 And, 20% discount for ST holders, applies all year at F&B's (not just on matchday's either). But Merlin, (the new one that's just opened), that's nice too, decent prices and you're allowed to leave your car there after you've eaten, so that's another fiver saved.

Duracell Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Have a look at their website, think the specials menu is on there? Most of it seems to be priced around the £9-12 mark, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This changes matters, all you have to show is your ST? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's a bit of a walk but I guess it's worth it as a Student, you can pile as much as you like on your plate and then you don't need to eat again til December.

I would say, I haven't been there in years and don't know if it is still open but across the road from toby carvery there is a nice little pub - used to go to masons place college 4 years ago and went there for dinner every day, was top. Peregrine or something like that, as I said haven't been in years. If you're open to going into town, then Standing Order is decent for food, very cheap! A bear and a big ass burger for 7 quid (roughly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 The Merlin is a hungry horse pub, fairly new it's where the old beefeater used to be on the roundabout near the South Stand carparking. I would favour this pub because its name has a local link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
