Had the platter, so disappointed. 2 over cooked burnt ribs one just 2" long other 3". 1 Very small chicken leg, bigger in KFC! Cold smoked over cooked lamb. 1" of sausage 2 small slices of cold Turkey. Tiny salad. Had side Order of Korean salad, which was the nicest part of whole meal. The service was poor. Only 5 tables of 20 covers with 4 staff, who kept leaving the restaurant with No cover. We were sitting next to the kitchen, constantly hearing the chef call service, many times for the same order and have no one collect the ready meals. We also were not ask if meal OK until we finished and

One of the best experiences I've ever had. From the start at reception, the two lovely ladies that greeted our group were so helpful and lovely! They got us 4 rooms all close together, booked us in for breakfast and nothing was too much of a hassle. We had dinner at the firepit and cocktails downstairs in the lounge, zero complaints. In fact it's quite possibly the best food I've ever had. The waiting staff were also so attentive, never had to fill a wineglass myself, or water for that matter! And this doesn't even cover the quality of the rooms! Like everyone else, the beds are just immaculate

I'm a full member here. Great venue. Golf is fantastic. Great course. Well looked after. One of the best in this area. Staff are all fantastic and friendly. Bar and restaurant is pricy but it's really worth it. All round top venue.
Stayed in a suite for my wedding night. (Signature Suite) amazing. Really nice. Worth the money. I'd recommend every aspect of this venue and not because I'm a member but because it's worth it.

AMAZING service, I have never felt so catered for in my life before. So many staff waiting to offer me another a drink and checking I was OK that I couldn't keep track. I only stopped in for a quick beer on my way home, but will be back every Friday from now on.
