Where to eat: There are a host of places to eat in and around the stadium, including a KFC which is probably the closest 'restaurant' to the ground.
Where to drink: There is the Curve Bar further along Princes Street, the Station Hotel near the train station and the Punch and Judy pub on Cardinal Park also reportedly welcomes away fans. The Drum and Monkey right next to the stadium has apparently declared itself as a home fans only pub. The Greyhound pub on Henley Road, which is about a 10 minute walk from the ground, has also be recommended by a Watford fan.
