Visiting Stonebridge Road for the first time...

[New Boy]

A small group of us will be attending the Histon next Monday night, which is our first visit to an Ebbsfleet game.

 

Can anyone recommend a good pub where we can all meet before the game, which might also serve some pub grub. We are a mix of fans but all live within Kent and looking forward to a good night of enjoyable football.

 

Also, any recommendation of a good curry house for after the game?

 

[Stu M]

Curry houses: Cafe Taj in Gravesend, and the owner is a good sponsor of the Fleet.

 

Pubs: The Plough is right outside the ground for a drink or two, but spend the cash in the club bar instead I'd say!

 

Eating-wise, Wetherspoon's in town is cheap and you've got The Pembroke as well for pub meals, also in Gravesend town centre. Not sure what's worth going to food-wise in Northfleet other than Euro-Kebab...

[New Boy]

Thanks Stu. I support the idea of spending in the club bar. From what time does it open for an evening game?

6pm the turnstyles open for evening mathes.

There is a Mexican place at the top of Gravesend two minute walk from Gravesend station., next to the taxi Rank. Looks to get very busy. So I would have thought Ok. Plus there is a couple of pubs there and being one minute walk from getting a cab cannot be bad.

On a par with your spelling by the look of it.

I used to do AS level matches at school

Caesers in town centre opposite Pembroke for excellent Italian

Mexican at top of town

Pembroke for good 241 deals on pub grub

Wing Lee for excellent Chinese

 

Curry!! well this is Gravesend speciality

Cafe Taj - best in town

Tufail - pricey but good

Curry Mecca - superb but very small - book early!

Ghandi - out of town but worth a shout!

 

enjoy!!!

If you like fresh chinese duck, may I suggest NC Rev on the High Street.

NO!!!!!!!

I'm never going in there again... thought it was disgusting before the duck incident.

Your best bet is to meet in Gravesend, have your beers and food there and then get a cab to Northfleet for the game.

 

Sorry Digitalis, but do you honestly expect me to recommend that they eat in our ground?

[New Boy]

Thanks Richard. Excellent info.

Cafe Taj it's going to be!

[chris blanc]

MMmmmmm.... Taj!

I can testify that a Fleet gristleburger tastes far better for having been dropped on the ground!!

Not yet...

I turned up for the Eastbourne game absolutely starving - the chips from the van next to the club shop were truly foul. At

On the basis of the equivalent fixture last year, this may not be the best match to choose.

Oh come on jc, we should do them this season.

It could be worse, they might have pencilled in Rushden at home for their first taste of total football.
