We're playin' them in a friendly and unusually for us (in a friendly) we're takin' a bus full of supporters 'cos we've heard there are some good "watering holes" there. is this true folks?

You'll be wanting the Green Man for its range of guest ales and foreign beers - a top class boozer but the most distant from the ground (about 15 mins walk). In the town, there are three places worth a look. The Crown Hotel is a it posh and up market, but it does serve the rare local beers from Ufford Brewery. Next door is the Periwig, a typical town centre place with plasma screen, but a traditional feel. They also have Ufford beers. The Otter's Pocket is just down the road from these two - it claims to serve the real stuff, but I've not personally tried it - yet! The places by the ground all seemed to serve something drinkable when I visited several years ago, but expect the nationals and large regionals to dominate, especially Greene King. I'd be disappointed if you couldn't find Adnams, Fullers and Youngs - unless they'd been replace by something better. Oakham beers should be around too. See Beer in the Evening for a list of all boozers (good and bad), plus maps, addresses, etc. for the ones mentioned above.

And I have the pictorial evidence to support this... ;D In addition, I'd visit the apparently not well known, yet regularly busy Lord Burghley Stated as being "good beer, good staff, good beer garden, just a little quiet! good for a chat and a beer" Kind of a contradiction, but with 6 real ales, yer usual selection of euro-pish and what have you, a darn good supping house

don't confuse him- it's Burleigh, despite the huge amount of signs to other things that spell it Burghley... ugh!
