Invited for a quiz in the afternoon, but the venue was double booked, and they had a German choir in the dining area. The meal I ordered was nicely presented and nicely priced. I was eating as a crowd came in. One man scraping chairs across the floor. There is no doubt getting ready for the choir. He moved all the tables except mine. I looked disgusted at them while I ate. I asked if they wanted me to move but was given such an abrupt reply by a German lady. I excused myself and asked that I had finished my dinner. I have to say I was pleased when the waitress told them I was eating and that I would feel intimidated. I continued to eat, and as I finished, I lingered a while to finish my drink. I went to the quiz next door. Must say the quizmaster was very resilient. Going from table to table repeating the questions because of the choir next door. As an aside, I was most impressed to hear the barman insist the German choir form an orderly queue in order to get served. Funniest thing I've seen in a long time. Must admit I enjoyed the singing, although as a musician myself, I did find that they have a limited repertoire. As for the venue, I hope they sort out the double booking fiasco for the future as it's a great little...
Read moreWe went for a Sunday carvery, the food was good and tasty, although not outstanding, yet still a good meal and for the price of 3 coarses with half bottle of wine I understand why you need book in advance, as the food was good the beef wasn't dry and the starters were tasty although the pate could had been served with more bread and unfortunately our dessert of a meringue didn't have ANY meringue within it at all and was more a thick sweet whipped cream. Nothing the sort of a meringue. The Club also provided live singer for entertainment of the "buddy Holly" era. Unfortunately I found the venue was lacking much atmosphere, and the music loud and echoing made it difficult to hear convocation at the table, also left us in the feeling of eating in a food hall or canteen. Other than that, the food for price good and the service was friendly and without delay so no complaints...
Read moreReally don't know where to start. What an absolutely fantastic place, populated by the some of the friendliest most welcoming people it has been our good fortune to meet on our travels. We took part in 2 of the bowling section fun activities (Tuesday and Saturday), sampled the Carvery and watched the Line dancing (we didn't join in because they were really good and we would have turned it into a traffic jam) and met a really extraordinary woman who was born in the mining village where we now live. We have already booked our holidays for next year so that we can return, So if you're heading out that way, get in touch with them and pay a visit, I really couldn't recommend it highly enough. And as for the Terrible review regarding not being allowed to play without "Whites" I have no idea what that policy means but we were in shorts and Polos that were...
