Carry on up Holborn Hill from the Swan & Mitre 5 min walk and you get to The Villa Tavern opposite the elegant old public baths. Free parking and the lads will wash your car for £2.50

Caution: I once came back from the usual spanking off Man Utd to find my car propped up on bricks in the car park, and my brothers Christmas presents stolen from the boot.

How long ago was that ? Never had a problem there personally but I guess most places down B6 come with a risk factor.

Back in 2006 I think, we always used to that boozer but I think that was the last time as it had gone downhill a bit.

The Aston Tavern looks a long way off opening as well.

Just park at the Bartons. It will be fine. And you can have a beer with us before the game. You lucky sods.

love it in there, we went for the Everton game and was not a problem at all as we parked in our normal place which is handy to get away after the game and walked to Aston Cross and down the main road to the Bartons and it took about 10/15 mins to walk it and about 20 to the Villa.

we met a couple of Worcester Villians in there.

Star City.

Bit of a trek to VP but can get easily on the M6 after the game.

We went to The Barton's Arms before the game yesterday for the first time (usually we turn up way to late so have to leg it into the ground for a Balti pie instead). Brilliant, beautiful old pub, loads of great beer, good chat with a few Villa old boys and a friendly vibe generally. We just parked on one of the streets nearby and car was fine, easy 15 minute walk back across the park to get to the ground. Will be trying to get down there for a beer before most home games now, especially as I don't have a car so can always enjoy a few pre-match ales haha!

Tesco on Aston Lane have recently have recently started doing match day parking for £4. An easy out for those heading towards the A34 or M5/M6
