If
driving then street parking is very limited. There are three pay and
display parks in Portman Road. There are also several
town centre car parks within 10 minutes walk all of which are well sign posted,
plus there's a multi storey car park next to the station..Pubs
The Drum and Monkey, close to the away section, was traditionally very popular with away fans for many years. However it's apparently now home fans only following refurbishment. It's no big loss if you ask me. Another pub popular with away fans, particularly those arriving by train, is the Station Hotel. You can do much better than this though. For a start there's the Black Horse, less than a 10 minute walk from the ground, which has a good selection of beers. Walk a little bit further and you'll be in the town centre. Two pubs in the main square are Mannings and the Golden Lion. That latter is a Wetherspoons, but it doesn't look and feel like a Wetherspoons - it's really cosy and traditional, and cheap of course.
