Food & Drink
From a proper cricket tea between innings to hot drinks pitchside all day at the Winter Cup, there is always something to eat and drink at Winnston Park. Picnics are welcome too — it is a garden ground, so no glass, please.
Matchday refreshments
Hot and cold drinks, snacks and cakes are served from the pavilion during play. Availability can vary by fixture — check with ground staff on the day.
Match tea
The traditional cricket tea is served between innings for players and officials; supporters are welcome to join in when there is enough to go round.
Food stalls
On Finals Day and Winter Cup days extra food is laid on beside the pavilion. Details are posted on the event page and in Visitor News.
Winter Cup warmers
Hot drinks are served pitchside all day during the Winter Cup — expected match-day temperatures are 2–6°C, so bring a flask and gloves too.
Snacks
Crisps, sweets and fruit for younger visitors; ice creams on hot days.
