Went here for an away match for my son's football. All weather pitch looked good but more importantly the bacon was good

Quieter than normal due to Covid but still plenty of outside activities keeping the younger folks active in body & mind. The club bar is shut under Tier 3 but as a whole with signage etc it's clear the club are taking everyone's health & safety extremely seriously. Definitely somewhere to go back to once things settle down.

Report
Second event we have had here and the staff were great, polite and well presented. The drinks were well priced and overall a very good experience. With the outdoor area although on our visit it was a little chilly it was still a great area to have our food barbecue/hog roast set up. Nice venue well kept, clean and tidy and very cosy. Suited us completely. Highly recommend if you are looking for a venue for a party or similar.
