Just a note of thanks to say how much our members enjoyed their morning with breakfast and bowls.

Please pass on to Chrissy that the breakfast she prepared was very much appreciated and having it in the separate room just made it more personal.

Many thanks again and we hope to bring more of our overseas guests to you in the future.

I would just like to say what a wonderful time we had at my wife’s party the other week. Please pass on my thanks to Chrissy & her staff – I couldn’t have thanked them enough.

I would recommend your venue to anyone!

I wanted to check in and say thank you for Saturday – the team had a great time. It was nice to be down at the club, it had a great vibe and was very busy!

We had a great time thanks Barry and were very happy with everything. Please pass on our thanks to the catering team, the food was delicious, there was plenty of it and they were very courteous and helpful to work with. Thanks also to the bar staff who were very friendly and looked after us well. The room setup was good too.
