The Thomas Frost Wetherspoons which although is cheap and cheerful and only 15 minute walk away, it can get very busy for a proper family meal so you may need to look for other alternatives.For those looking for a sit down meal (that you can opt to take away before or after the match) some of the locals prefer the Hot Wok Restaurant which caters to Chinese and English cuisine and is reasonably priced. They offer meal deals that you can call to order ahead of time before a game and a main, side and drink costs around £6-£8. Being around 10 minutes away from the stadium this can be a handy place to visit.A better option if you are looking to make an evening of it is the Segura Wine Bar and Bistro which brands as a steakhouse serving British and Spanish food as well as serving a traditional Sunday roast. While it is a pricier option it makes a great transition from afternoon to evening and is a favorite meet-up choice for those looking to rendezvous before heading out on the town.

The majority of restaurants around Goodison Park are located on nearby Walton Street and are mostly fast food orientated such as Subway and McDonald's. An ever popular choice is a Chinese style chip shop - Lucky's Blue Dragon. The popular pub 'The Thomas Frost' is part of the Wetherspoons franchise and as such will offer typical pub food. Otherwise your best bet is to eat in the nearby city center where there is every cuisine imaginable.

Mike's Kitchen is a very popular matchday choice, with reasonable prices and quick, friendly service during the pre-game bustle. It may feel a little cramped as they try to cater to as many footie punters as possible.For a higher-class meal (especially post-game) then try the Segura: not cheap, but delicious food (steak, roasts, special 'weekly menu'), relaxed atmosphere and a great place to relive the big plays from the afternoon with a drink.
