Perhaps the most important aspect of a non-league away day, and Leigh is certainly blessed by the gods in terms of the number of watering holes available!
There are three bars and lounges situated beneath the stands at Hilton Park, with the Kegwatch Suite under the Hilton Park Stand, and the Mick Martyn Bar (named after the Leigh RLFC legend) and Woody's Bar (named after former Leigh and Great Britain stand-off John Woods) beneath the Tommy Sale Stand. The Mick Martyn Bar is usually the only bar that is open for RMI games and has been voted one of the best in both the Conference National and Conference North leagues, with the other two suites used mainly for hospitality for rugby games. Also on sale on the far side of the Mick Martyn Bar are the usual pies, hot dogs and burgers along with tea, coffee, Bovril and hot chocolate.
