Quote: tb "
Does The Fox at Brotherton still exist? I recall being sat outside that in the 1960s with a bottle of coke and a bag of crisps, watching the traffic on the A1. (That's how you fed kids then, parked them outside with a coke and crisps …)'"



Crikey me and my brother used to do the same.
Bag of salted crisps with the little blue bag and a bottle of pop.
We must have crossed paths tb cos it was the 60's when i remember the same event.

As for brotherton fox, it's an indian resteurant now.

Try the Glassblower (Wetherspoons) pub on Bank Street in the middle of Castleford. It's only a short walk down to the ground.

Nowadays it is hard to find a pub in Castleford which serves good food.

Back when Lockwood had The Boat in Allerton Bywater, that was the place to be, we used to go every Saturday and you would never be dissatisfied. Not many managed to finish their big mixed grill, that was a treat even for the biggest of appetites. Brian even brewed his own beer in his last year or so of ownership. We went there a couple of times after he left but it wasn't the same. I hear it's reopened fairly recently but I haven't been yet.

Other than that you only really have The Three Horse Shoes, The Old Mill and The Glassblower on a Saturday, unless you want to go to a chain restaurant.

I've only been once to The Three Horse Shoes and I enjoyed it, would go back.

The Old Mill used to do decent meals but it has decreased in quality since last season, which is a shame, been twice this season before Saturday matches and there was hardly anybody else in.

Which leaves The Glassblower, I wouldn't advise a meal in there, expensive and poor quality, only good for Guest beers and cheap sessions.

The Singing Chocker just off the M62 has mixed reviews, some say the whole experience was rubbish, others say it was good, wouldn't take the chance with that or The Brewers Fair type pubs personally.

If you fancy Pizza, Chinese, Mexican or Italian then Xscape is your place, you get what you expect really.

As for The Fox, now an Indian Restaurant, went there a couple of years ago for New Years Eve, it was nice, they serve traditional and non traditional Indian food, not often you get cheese on Indian food but they do a lot of things with it. Do buffets on Sundays too now. Haven't been back since but I definitely would.

Hope this helps.

Wheatsheaf at Whitwood takes some beating for value,variety and portion size plus there's the buffet/carvery option which means no waiting to be served. Take Normanton exit from M62 following signs for Cas town centre but after a few hundred yards turn left at traffic lights next to Rising Sun pub. Wheatsheaf on your right as road bears sharp left after going under railway bridge.

Quote: mark shaw "Hi i am coming up from Oxford with all my family to watch this match and we are looking forward to a great match (fax win we hope).

My two kids are 2 and 3 so we are looking for a good or great pub to get some food in before the match. Can you please help on this ??

May the best team on the day win.'"


The Magnet Hotel on Pontefract Road isn't too bad. This is on the way to the ground and is only a about 1.5 miles from the ground, and about the same from Junction 32 of the M62. Follow signs for Castleford (don't follow signs for Xscape), the road goes by the turn off and it's on the left-hand side as you down Pontefract Road which is a long straight road.

I can vouch for the food there too - very nice and really good value for a fiver. I think carvery is 4-8pm on Saturday evenings.

George Bush says 'we are losing the war on drugs'. Well you know what that implies? There's a war going on, and people on drugs are winning it! Well what does that tell you about drugs? Some smart, creative motherfookers on that side.":23517.gif



Three Horse shoes at Fairburn does some of the best pub grub I have had. To be fair it's restaurant quality. Well priced too.

Got to have some food at www.ploughinnwakefield.co.uk/home.html

Probably the best pub food in Yorkshire, in which it just recieved an award for its quality i think.

Plough Inn, Warmfield.
