Crawford Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Hi, This will be my first topic post and haven't seen it on here so figured why not. We all support different teams and come from different backgrounds but football brings us all together. So my question is - Where is the best place to eat near your home ground?

naegoodinthedark Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Excellent first post Crawford, we could build a wee database. For Pittodrie, you can’t beat The Bobbin on King Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an Indian buffet but they also do alternatives for those that don't do spice. There isn't much close to Dens or Tannadice unfortunately.

Im_Rodger Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Bar West usually has decent scran. If yer on a budget though McDonalds is an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checking that's for Hamilton then? As the good man said above if we can get enough suggestions in we can put it all together for folk to have a quick reference for decent places to eat from the locals.

d_t_b Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 For Hamilton the Tap Room also does good scran, can be difficult to get a table the closer it gets to kick off but if you're in for about 1pm you're grand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you recommend it? We have one called stuffed in Dundee which is supposed to be a world buffet but I honestly would rather eat a McDonald's grease trap. That would be an avoid for sure.

Add Mushtaqs and Spice to this. Two good Indian restaurants within around a 10 minute walk from the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_K_97 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Right now I'm not sure what place does the best scran near Rugby Park, but when the new 7 Saints opens on John Finnie Street it'll very likely be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Dont eat anything from the snack vans & cafe's near Celtic Park if you value your health, Pizza Hut as you head towards Bridgeton Cross is your safest, if somewhat bland option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly certain Stuffed has now closed, though that building seems to be cursed. As far as Dundee, there's plenty if you are coming off the train and heading up on foot. Either head along Perth road or along reform street I think it is. If you are getting off a supporters bus near either of the stadiums, bring sandwiches.

And a voddy garden up langside road. Folk saying there's nowhere near McDiarmid are bullshitting. Within a mile there's The Glover Arms, food and drink served. The Maltings, food and drink served. The Tulloch, Drink and crisps served. The Welcome inn, food drink and a punch in the puss served. The Muirton Suite at the ground, pies and drink served. Randoms garden, food, drink, parking and a shot o the burd served. You will need to listen to Football manager chat and the chinking of spanners while you're at it though, can be off putting. That said, I'd drink in the town first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those pubs, along with the Trades that I always seem to time badly, and it ends up packed. Even on random days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
