We used the function room for a wedding. Everything was well set up, well lit and friendly staff. The alcohol was inexpensive and they offer a large selection. Overall a decent place and will recommend for future events

Good parking right next to the club. Clear instruction regarding mask and sanitiser on entry. Toilets are clean.. I attended a dance fitness class here. Despite the doors to the hall being open it was extremely hot, so I presume there is no air conditioning. Despite this I think its an excellent building. Nice wooden floor and there is a good looking bar there. Nice patio and seating outside and pleasant surroundings.

Quite a remote location for his club, nearer to Elworth than Sandbach. That said, pleasant and spacious facilities. Large main function room with integral bar and stage area. Catering was good too.

This place holds some great events but it is let down by it's badly maintained car park. This venue holds a lot of events for disabled groups but we struggle to get from a wheelchair accessible vehicle to the path without getting stuck in the gravel or almost topping over. Even addressing a small area to reverse to to drop the tail lift or ramp onto some solid ground would improve this dramatically.
