The Bootlegger (used to be The Flint Cottage), Amersham Hill, High Wycombe.

Right behing the station, decent selection of beers and new Kiwi landlord we're told and much improved, though we quite liked it before so looking forward to a re-visit!

Feast you're eyes on this list!:

Good 45 minutes walk from the stadium; or get the football special bus, No. 501, that runs from the station to the ground at 13.55 for about £2.50 return, or just fall into a cab! 

The Bootlegger; behind the blue blob, er, which is the station; Ground, get on the West Wycombe Road, A40, to the left.

Hour Glass

The Hour Glass,
144, Chapel Lane, Sands.

Nearest pub to the ground, at over a mile away, on the A4010.

Away fans allowed and has a pool table. Usual range of beers and a basic food menu.

Hour Glass; top right, then walk down into Lane End Road which joins Hillbottom Road and the ground.

George & Dragon
, High Street, West Wycombe.

A couple of miles drive away, this place, according those nice www.ciderspace.co.uk people, seems to be 'preserved in a time warp'. The pub being a 300-year-old coaching inn owned by the National Trust!

Food; good but pricey. Beer: Adnams Broadside, Wells Bombardier and Courage Best, which will do for starters.

George & Dragon; half-way down the high street, in the village.

There is the Supporters Club at the ground, which used to cost £2 to enter. The Club is one of the suites at the far end of the Main Stand.

It's a spacious room with 2 bars and food. The atmosphere is reported as being extremely relaxed and friendly for both home and away supporters.

Have not used it myself so cannot guarantee entry but worth a try if pressed for time.
