Not great as you have to walk part way round a football pitch to the main doors. Recommend using a trolley and another pair of hands.

Lots of space height and width wise. Only slight problem is that one of the power sockets is on a side wall so any power lead will run from that socket to you creating a potential trip hazard as it will cut across the way to the ladies toilet. Recommend using the double socket on the rear wall and socket on the wall on the other side. - width available: at least 5m

Full venue detailsDetailed Reviews
A gem of a venue. Don't be put off by the outside which, to be frank, is a little shabby and could do with freshening up. There is ample parking onsite and the interior is lovely. Very nice colours, some comfy sofas at one end and round tables at the other. Pool and darts onsite along with tv. Drinks are reasonably priced, toilets are good and clean and the staff are fantastic...very attentive and friendly. I was also amazed at how inexpensive it is to hire this venue; much cheaper than other venues and they also offer a catering service if required. One of the nicest venues in the area and well worth considering if you're looking for a place to hire for a function.
