Not that you Williamstown folk are short of a dollar but watch out for the pub around there that will tell you they have 2 for the price of one meal deals but when you look at the price their single meal is double the price of anywhere else lol ! My mates always amuse ourselves with that story when we go to good old Frankston.

Very good question, digs - he hasn't popped up on here for a long time, probably since last year's finals, hope everything's OK with him

Wally, sadly that info is correct. We used to have meals available for a lot less than that, so I'm going to enquire as to why we don't now. We need to encourage people coming from the city and beyond to come down and make a day of it, so a decent feed is a mandatory part of that. Might even see if we can do a deal for discounts for away members at one of the local pubs or restaurants.

The Grand is about 500 metres walk Wally, The Cheeky Squire is another 50 metres, on the opposite corner (formerly Davey's).

yeah, my group would prefer to support the FFC rather than a local pub but if there are no meals available then the Grand it is - one of my group ate there before the practice match last weekend and said it was quite good and close to the ground

Appreciate that Wally, and am honestly a bit embarrassed that we don't have a more affordable option available. A lot of our home games do have food trucks attending (and coffee vans thankfully) but there's no guarantee.....I would assume for a big game like this one they will have them though. 

Yes, you won't go wrong at the Grand. I've had many meals there over the years and am yet to have a bad one!

that's reassuring aj, i had a look on Trip Advisor and the reviews were a bit mixed i must admit - the reviews of The Cheeky Squire even more so

Wow, that's surprising, we had a meal at the CS in December and it was lovely, and they have a great little outdoor deck with sport on the TV too. As far as the Grand goes, I don't think the public bar has meals.....but either way, make sure you eat in the bistro.
