I’ll take this one, eh?
Getting off the train at Meols Cop is advisable, Southport station is a fair walk.
The thatch is an alright boozer, tend to get all the Southport fans in there on a match day so it might be a bit packed. There’s another called the Richmond just round the corner from the ground too. Nice pub, quite big as well, nice grub as well (Don’t recommend food from the ground, rip off and shite!)There’s also a pretty nice boozer called the pageant near the ground, bit tricky to find though but well worth it, nicest of the 3 pubs close to the ground by far.
