A short walk from the Portman Road Stadium is the Thomas Wolsey pub, which is a family-friendly staple for many home fans.

Ahead of Town's return to the Championship, the Wolsey built a new bar on the first floor, extended their opening times, and added a new "speedy food offering" from Mylo's Pizza.

This will allow fans to meet and have some pre-game drinks ahead of the midday kick-off, as well as during, with the game being shown on multiple screens at the pub.
