"A typical older club, a little dated but clean & friendly staff. We used it for a 3 day function including the extensive carpark & grass area out the back. Food was excellent & wait staff helpful & efficient. We decorated the function room & had access to a microphone & sound system plus WiFi access. Group of 64 people but could have taken at least 100 sat at 10 tables of 10."
