This simple terrace does have a small cover at the back and up to 450 fans can be accommodated in this area. For these large games then additional outside catering and toilets are brought into service for the visiting fans.
Where to drink:
There is the Stripes Bar at the ground itself or next door is the Conservative Club which features in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide and will admit visitors for a small signing in fee. Otherwise, Maidenhead town centre is only a five-minute walk away where there are plenty of pubs to be found including a Wetherspoons outlet on the High Street called the Bear. Close to Maidenhead Railway Station on Queen Street is the ‘Bell’ pub, which also serves cask ales and shows televised sports. If you have a bit of time on your hands then just over a mile away from the ground on Gringer Hill (SL6 7LY) is the community-owned Craufurd Arms.

Capacity: 5,000 (Seats 1,700)
Address: Broughinge Rd, Boreham Wood, WD6 5AL

Boreham Wood Football Club is a professional football club based in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, England. They are currently members of the National League, the fifth tier of English football, and play at Meadow Park. Established in 1948, they are known as “the Wood” and have a local rivalry with St Albans City.
Normally fans are not segregated at Meadow Park. If segregation is in force the away supporters are mostly housed in the South Terrace at one end of the ground. This open terrace, which is located close to the playing action, has around eight steps and is split into two areas behind the goal and either all or half the terrace can be allocated. In addition, half of the modern West Stand (towards the South Terrace) is also allocated to visiting supporters and around 600 fans can be seated in this area. The relatively new West Stand enjoys good views of the playing action, has ample leg room for most and the spectator facilities are good too.
Usually, a visit to Meadow Park is a relaxed and enjoyable day out. However with the Club having generally smaller attendances for this level of football, then the atmosphere within the stadium can sometimes be lacking. Hot food and drinks are available in-between the two sections of the South Terrace from a mobile catering unit called the ‘Lunch Box’.
Where to drink:
At Meadow Park itself is the Three Lions Bar, but this is normally for home fans only. However, Meadow Park is only a 5-10 minute walk from the town centre where there are plenty of pubs and eating places to be found, including a Wetherspoons outlet called the Hart and Spool, on Shenley Road. Also on Shenley Road is the Wishing Well pub, that has the added benefit of showing televised sports.
To find the town centre from the ground then simply from the top of the Meadow Park access road (called Broughinge Road) turn left. At the roundabout turn right onto Shenley Road and this leads into the centre.
