Am 100% going for this now, I'm gonna be in Brum for 11:25, may drink there pre-game, may go closer to the ground. There is a pub called The Royal Oak near McDonalds on the main road, mixed pub so may do that!

think we might do the Vine - good reports and easy to park and walk to ground from there. Its a bigger pub and has beer garden

Isn't that quite an awkward one to get to from The Hawthorns though?

Where To Eat & Drink?
There are no pubs for away fans that are particularly close to the ground. Huw Morris, a West Brom fan, recommends 'The Vine' which is about a 15-20 minute walk from the ground. From Junction 1 of the M5 turn left towards West Bromwich town centre (opposite direction to the ground). Take the first left into Roebuck Street. The Vine is down on the left. You can also street park in this area and walk to the ground. This pub also does Indian food and has an indoor tandoori barbeque (from 1pm on Saturdays), plus has a beer garden with children's play area. Barbara Osborne a visiting Newcastle United fan adds; 'The Vine from the outside looked like any small corner boozer, but inside it was quite large and it was fairly easy to get served. It had a good mix of home and away fans.'

Easy for you car-goers but what about those not driving?
