Recently revamped into a proper real ale pub there are up to 8 real ales available from local breweries like Amber Ales in Ripley, Castle Rock in Nottingham and Blue Monkey from Giltbrook.

Other Boozers and Food Outlets Worth a Visit
The Victoria, Nottingham Road, Alfreton, Derbyshire, DE55 7GL
Closest pub to the ground, The Victoria has a pool table, sky sports, the usual array of keg lagers and 2 rotating real ales. A welcoming family friendly place although the scran is limited to baps with
various fillings.
There are a number of other decent looking pubs between the station and ground. Further information on them can be found on the excellent Alfreton supporters’ association website.
Recommend takeaway options en route between the station and ground are Jimmy’s Chippy and The Fisheries Chip Shop, both on Mansfield road. Scran is available inside the ground including the famous (in Alfreton anyway) Full Monty which consists of Pie, Chips, Peas and Gravy for £2.70!
If travelling by train from London via Nottingham you might want to consider stopping off for a few jars on the way back. Nottingham has plenty of great boozers but the below are a couple of London Branch tried and tested favourites.
Vat & Fiddle, 12-14, Queen's Bridge Road, Nottingham, NG2 1NB, Tel: 0115 9850611
The Castle Rock Brewery tap (their Harvest Pale Ale is a former champion beer of Britain) this brilliant pub serves its own ales along with a variety of guest and European beers. CAMRA listed.
Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, 1, Brewhouse Yard, Nottingham, NG1 6AD, Tel: 0115 9473171
Established in 1189 it claims to be the oldest continually used pub in the world. It is a wee bit of a tourist trap but still worth a visit and plenty of decent beer is available. CAMRA listed.
