I went to the Golf club last night with the girls I used to work with for our annual Christmas bash. We haven't had a Christmas party for a couple of years what with Covid etc so we were really up for it.

The DJ was great, the company was amazing, but the service for dinner was very disappointing.

The tables were very close together to the point where we had to push our table further away from the table next to us so that two of our party could sit down. They were constantly disturbed by people from the next getting drinks because there was no space to get up and move away from the table.

The food tasted good but would have been better if it had been hot! We were on table 8 of 10 tables. For some reason the very young staff were clearing the plates from tables 1-5 ish before we had even had any food. Vegetables and gravy were put on the table a good 5 minutes before anything else appeared so by the time everyone had been served they were lukewarm and that's being generous. One of our party didn't have tomatoes with her salmon because they "had run out of tomatoes". This for meals pre ordered weeks ago. There was another table still waiting to be served when we half way through our meal, so their food must have been stone cold.

My final complaint was that, having waited so long to get our food, as soon as you put your cutlery down from your last mouthful the plate was whisked away with a "have you finished?" but no chance to reply.

We had a great time because we always do when we get together, but I would question whether we should return next Christmas. The standard has dropped year on year at Hazlemere Golf Club, so the management need to be aware of that. I appreciate times have been difficult, but if large parties are booked then large parties should be properly catered for and service should be appropriate. Food needs to be hot, served together and what was ordered.

Additional info: subsequent to posting this review the lady who had booked the evening for us was contacted by the Golf Club and asked if they could have my details so they could discuss my review. I was more than happy for them to contact me and gave her my phone number and email address to pass on. Having not heard anything from them a couple of months later I contact my friend and, apparently, they had told her, that although they felt I should have contacted them about my review before posting on Google, they weren't going to bother now. Enough said.

I will go to the Christmas Party again this year if I'm invited and if it is at the Golf club because I would like to see whether, despite not contacting me, they have at least taken on board my comments.
