Because of the locality of Scunthorpe's ground which is on the outskirts of the town pubs are hard to find.
The nearest pub is The Old Farmhouse which is next to the enterance of the ground. The pub welcomes all fans but no colours are allowed.
A favorite for the away supporters is The Berkeley, to find this Sam Smiths pub go past the ground (or park there first) and follow the main road towards Scunthorpe and it is on the left hand corner of the first roundabout you reach.
For food outside the ground is a KFC on oneside and on the other McDonalds also their is a Tesco's Cafe.
