A cricket ground, with food and drink available inside. Previously known as the Brit Oval, it was [http://web.archive.org/web/20160811122330/http://www.ecb.co.uk/news/domestic/kia-oval,312675,EN.html renamed to the Kia Oval] in January 2011.
The Oval cricket ground has food and drink available inside. I visited on a County Championship day and it was clear that it wasn't all open. The main food available were pies at £3.50. They sell 4 varieties - minced beef, chicken, steak & ale and leek and potato with cheese. When I bought mine they only had beef available, but I saw leek later. The food stall also sells hotdogs for £3, and sandwiches for £2.50. The pie was okay, but I'd suggest bring your own food. I saw a closed Indian takeaway at the back of one of the stands, I suspect this is only open on bigger occasions.

At bigger events such as Twenty20 matches there are other food options with at least one <i>in situ</i> Indian and several catering vans.
Beer at the Oval was draught - Fosters, Marston's Smooth and Scrumpy Jack cider, all for £3.30 a pint. There were also 4 types of wine available. The beer was sold in plastic cups with a pint line on. I saw a closed bottle bar too.

The Oval has [http://www.surreycricket.com/tickets/alcohol-policy/ an alcohol policy] which bans bringing in your own for test matches, one day internationals and Twenty20 matches. For other games you are allowed to bring in 4 cans per person, or a 750 ml plastic bottle of wine. Plenty of people seem to bring in their own and with an unexciting choice of beer it's not really surprising.

Prices in the Pavilion are cheaper for food and beer. Only members and their guests can enter the pavilion. The "Ali Brown 268 Bar" in the Pavilion has Marston's Pedigree on tap and does other drinks such as Pimm's (&pound;5.50/pint). There is also a cafe and a restaurant in the Pavilion.
