Below is an e-mail I received from the East End Inn. Sounds good for parking (cars and buses)and the free food never goes wrong. I reckon it's got to be worth a shot for our first game in the SFL. Can you post on this thread nearer the time if you plan to use this facility. The pink fluffy one didn't have much good to say about the Elizabethan when she was up as it seems to have gone down hill quite a bit.
Hi Laura
Many thanks for taking time out to chat with me earlier.
As I mentioned we already have an excellent reputation with Away Supporters and have hosted many teams last year such as Q of South, Livingston, St Johnstone, and Clyde to name but a few. All feedback that they had a great time and enjoyed the hospitality food and would all be back!
As an overview, we are a family owned pub and pride ourselves in the standard we offer all our customers.
For our away supporters we have 2 bars.
The Lounge - has a 42 inch Plasma Flat Sreen TV with Sky Sports, a Pool Table and Quiz Machine. Families are welcome in the Lounge so its ideal for Dads and Lads or the Fanatical Family.
The Bar - has all the same facilities however it also has bandit machines, hence children are not allowed in this area, its strictly adults only.
Our pub manager Lorna will put on hospitality food, normally sandwiches, stovies, soup and rolls, for your supporters to enjoy before the short 10 min walk to the ground.
We can accommodate around 150 people in the 2 bars comfortably so if you do feel more than that are likely to turn up, please let Lorna know as she can also open up the Function room as an overflow area. Having an idea of how busy we might be will also ensure Lorna has enough staff behind the bar to serve customers. There is nothing worse than having to wait for a long time for a pint!
Lorna will proabably ring you a few days before to establish how many people you think may turn up on the day so she can ensure she prepares enough food and to find out what time you think people are likely to arrive.
