Food and Drink

There are food outlets located at the rear of both the South Stand serving a variety of food and drink, both hot and cold including alcohol. Meanwhile, there is also an additional catering unit to the left of the South Stand which away supporters will find immediately to their right once entering the turnstiles.

Catering kiosks in the away area do have low level serving counters. Food/drink outlets open 90 minutes before kick-off at weekends and 75 minutes before kick-off midweek. Please note the Cledara Abbey Stadium operates a cashless system and that all payments are made by contactless transaction. This will reduce queue times around the ground when ordering food and drink at the stadium outlets.
