There's a fish and chip shop at the top of Huddersfield road by the roundabout.
In the ground there's a mix of burgers, jacket potatoes or curry. Not too expensive.
There's a mcdonalds at the top of the m606. This is the motorway in between Odsal and the m62.
Down Mayo avenue (also off the m606 motorway) there's a Morrisons supermarket which has a cafe. This is very cheap and should be open sunday lunchtime.
I don't know if they do food on matchdays but it's a nice pub at the back of the stadium and inexpensive.
Cue Gardens
Snooker Halls
Address: Stadium Mills, Pearson Road, BRADFORD, West Yorkshire, BD6 1BJ
Phone: 01274 607990
At the front of the ground there's the Top House pub. They don't do food but the beer is good.
There are plenty of bars in the ground. Lager is £3 a pint which is a bit steep I know. Away fans are always welcome in the bars. We have indoor ones and outdoor ones to cater for all weather conditions.

Is it!?

Jeez, has it been that price all year?

I think it started at £2.80 but it was £3 last time.

I don't begrudge paying £3 for a pint, at some grounds you pay £3 for a bottle of Carlsberg.. no names!

I think he meant it as a joke..........
If Carlsberg ran rugby stadiums they would be the best ever.......
I have moved back to the Bradford area from south wales and am back in my bulls shirt next weekend. I would like to see the crusaders win a game but I would have to say, "let it be the week after us".
Crusaders will win eventually, I am positive about that and will still look out for the results every week.

Hmm..
If Carlsberg ran the stadium then:
Buxom scantily clad waitresses or Adonis-like scantily clad waiters would constantly supply the crowd with soothing alcoholic drinks.
The sun would always shine befitting summer rugby and designer sun-glasses would be provided for free on entrance.
A choice of catering would be by Marco Pierre White and Akbars or Marks & Spencers for salads and sandwiches for the those of more modest calorie intake.
Each and every spectator would have their own working toilet.
There would be no Stewards
Bars would be plush and luxurious with seats for every one and enough staff to obviate waiting for service.
Lush, cush armchair seating in the stand and foot massaging steps on the terraces.
Home to ground helicopter taxi service.

If Carlsberg ran the stadium it would probably be the best stadium in the world. I.e. it wouldn't serve Carlsberg and Tetleys.
