Just to repeat, there won't be anything at the ground, and there's nothing in the immediate vicinity. Star City just off the motorway has the usual chain places like Pizza Hut and Nando's, or as other have said just head into Brum.

The best food near VP is a meal deal from Tesco, which just about sums things up.

Is the Aston Tavern, underneath the expressway, still open?

Open until 6pm.
Last review was three months ago. Surely those hours are wrong?

Theres not a chance the Holte will be open outside of a match day, unless for some sort of corporate event. It wouldn’t be the staffing and catering costs?

I thought the corner flag restaurant was open most days. Very nice in there and the food is great although it has been a number of years since I was last wined and dined.

Why not ring or mail them and ask?

The Holte Pub barely looks open on a match day and is starting to look rundown and poorly maintained. Hopefully the Paint Brushes will be out over the summer as it's really starting to annoy me when walking past.

Would be nice to have such a beautiful building looked after and a nice environment to take in with the sound of Bagpipes as you walk up to the stadium.

Rather than the tacky banners pinned to the back of the North Stand and the cheap looking flags sort the blooming Pub out

It's not a restaurant anymore, it's where the players meet before games now.
