FOOD AND DRINK
This has to be the pub boat Charters but for other choices for a decent pint and some good grub, and this is one of the better trips, go to the Pub Crawl in Peterborough here: www.thelittlegazette.com/news/loadsngl.asp?cid=EDW8
SHORT BREAKS
If you require hotel accommodation in the area then first try a hotel booking service provided by Football Hotels who are powered by Activehotels, who specialise in locating accommodation near or within a short travelling distance of the football ground. They also have the added advantage over some other hotel booking services that you pay on departure.
