Travel 200 miles to drink in the same pub. Have a Big Mac while you're down there. |

It may be a chain, but you can always get a decent pint of proper beer in Wetherspoons, and as the OP only mentions one beer, and that's a lager, asking about Wetherspoons is a fair (and necessary) question imo.
I wonder if the Antigallican on the main road at the bottom of the hill is still there....or if I've got the right ground?  |

It's a fair question & a fair answer IMO. And a fair point by you. |

Plus they're usually cheaper than most London pubs, which is always a help
for us poor pensioners.

6 of us going down on the Saturday and staying in Borough Market area (back of London Bridge station). Prematch drinks not far from Tower Bridge at Wapping in various pubs such as Prospect of Whitby and Town of Ramsgate. Taxi to match.

Parking is a bitch around the ground, as all residents parking zones etc, would suggest Orient Retail Park near Ground (Asda etc-sign posted etc) large retail park, plenty of parking and 5 min walk to ground etc, you get free parking for a small spend in shops etc,
There is a Weatherspoons in Leytonstone, one stop on tube away, 3 mins etc, its called the Walnut Tree and right next to the Mcdonalds on high street, next to Sheepwalk pub as well, and a British legion, etc
If its real ale, you are after, go directly to the Orient supporters club before the game, it opens at 11am, there have around 12 different on tap everytime, infact they only have two lagers on tap, Kronenbourg and Fosters, mad stuff,
Also, get your tickets now before 29th April, as they are only £10 per adult and £1 for under18 etc, max 2 etc, as after this and on day they are £15/5 etc
0871 310 1883 (9.30-4.30pm) or www.lofcshop.com, tickets can be ordered and picked up on day |

Supporters Club at Orient is normally in the Good Beer guide and should have plenty of cask ale on.

Believe this or not, but a young lad I used to work with (he was a Leeds United fan which says it all really) went to watch a game in Europe and before he went he asked, "I wonder if I'll be able to buy a pizza in Rome".
Difference between him and you is that [ihe[/i [ireally[/i didn't know.  |

At Leyton, by Tube station, you really have only Three choices of pub locally
The Birkbeck Tavern: Birbeck Road, Leytonstone E11,
behind Leyton Tube by cemetary, turn left out tube, stairway at side of station, pub at top of this road.
My choice of local boozer, HOLSTEN on tap, good beer garden, only 10 mins walk to turnstiles, similar stoop to twickenham station etc
King Harold: High Road, Leyton, E10,
Left out of Leyton Tube and 500 metres on Left
This is going slightly away from ground etc, but still on high road, OK boozer, 2nd choice etc, will most probably go here after Birbeck
Coach and Horses: High Road, Leyton E10,
Right next to ground on High Road
This boozer stinks of urine and is generally for away footie fans, only venture if you have been innoculated or you cannot smell anything through your nose. place is awful, i even managed to get my self barred out this place about three weeks ago, used to drink in this place, when i was 14 years old, done me a favour, if you really must visit, would say, bypass and go to supporters club before game. Though the supporters club, will be better after game etc.
Any Bulls will be welcome at these places, these will be the pubs thsat Broncos fans are heading for before game anyway, so you are welcome.
The Supporters club at Orient is SUPERB, all welcome, serves good selection or real ales, many awards won for this place, has a great reputation indeed.
Hope many of you can venture down to game and good luck with your struggles etc. ![]()
Anywhere guaranteed to be showing the Newcastle v Man City game?

He probably wouldn't recognise real pizza. In Italy they are traditionally far simpler than the concoctions we get over here.
