A little guide on pubs & food created with AI help. I've put the postcodes in for the pub's as the ones on the King's Lynn website are wrong - but at least they are giving some more info on away games now, just needs a little polishing. (as normal AI lists it's sources of info)

Near the ground (best bets, all 2–6 mins' walk to turnstiles)

Old Farmhouse (Hungry Horse) – DN15 8TE – the classic away-fans pub next to the stadium; big car park, cheap pints, all-day pub grub. Great for groups.

Iron Bar (at the ground) – Scunthorpe's own bar; usually admits away fans on matchdays. Handy for a last one right before you go in.

Berkeley Hotel (Samuel Smith's) – DN15 7DS – large, traditional pub just along Doncaster Road (about a 5-min walk); good overflow option if Old Farmhouse is rammed.

Quick eats by the stadium (retail park stuff)

You've got loads within a few minutes' walk: McDonald's, KFC, and Pizza Hut on Gallagher/North Lincs retail park next to the ground. Ideal if you arrive tight for time.

If you arrive early and fancy the town first

Blue Bell Inn (Wetherspoon), Oswald Rd (town centre) – big, cheap, food all day; roof terrace; ~10 mins from Scunthorpe station, then taxi/bus to the ground.

Timings for the coach folks (leaves The Walks 11:15)

It's a touch over 2 hours, so you'll likely be at the Attis Arena/Glanford Park area around 13:30–13:45. That gives you a simple rhythm: Old Farmhouse → Iron Bar → turnstiles.

Drivers: parking & pointers

On-site stadium parking (DN15 8TD): £5 per car on the day; £4 if booked in advance via the club; over 600 spaces. Blue Badge: free, first-come. Avoid retail park car parks (time-limit enforcement on matchdays).

If you're parking at the ground but want a pint first, do Old Farmhouse or Berkeley and stroll over.

Inside the ground

Usual kiosk fare (pies, burgers, chips, hot drinks); cards generally accepted.
