Think twice before you book a wedding party at this venue

I want to be honest and reflect what actually happen on 1st July 2023 The venue was used for a Wedding Party I ll start with good points - Venue is superb scenery stunning Hall rooms and toilets very clean Bar staff fine although I think a couple were being trained and experienced a couple of mis understandings Drinks reasonably priced and very good gin section However that s where all good points end I m afraid the food was diabolical The chef and his presentation team were not good The starter Prawn cocktail - prawns not even cooked nor the poo line taken out Many guests sent them back and opted for soup but not even a roll provided Main - the chicken was pink in places and again sent back likewise many people in the Wedding Party also did likewise The sweet was cheese cake Half portion served at best but at least edible I felt sorry for the serving staff having to take the feedback but I m not to sure what happened behind the scenes I get them impression they just weren t up to job and must have arrive late to start preparing or just left things to late Such a pity as a Wedding is a one off and I personally would have been very let down and cheated if it were my function I do hope the View accept responsibility for the actions I ve highlighted and take those responsible to task and apologise profusely to the Wedding Party and their guests

We went for a Xmas party

We went for a Xmas party 30 of us attended for 50 a head We were told to be there for 7 to sit down for 730 The food didn t come out till 820 The starter was OK but nothing special The main course came out cold and such a small portion I had a couple of small slices of turkey 2 roast potatoes a carrot 3 Brussels sprouts and a slither of stuffing the pudding came out after 10pm which was the hottest thing all night I will say the bar staff were amazing The band was great and the casino was entertaining however 50 per head was way too much I feel the owner is putting on events too big for what they can manage When we complained the food was cold it took another 20 mins for them to bring it back out after shoving it in the microwave I will never eat there again and it is a shame as it could be so much better with the right owner

If you re in any doubt about the slow

If you re in any doubt about the slow service cheap and bland ingredients then hopefully a government hygiene score of 0 tells you all you need to know

If I could give zero starts that would

If I could give zero starts that would be more realistic Had work s Christmas function there on Friday 9th of December Shocking place Food is cold no veg and inedible Room was freezing cold Certainly not with the 50 pp

Xmas party

Venue - looked nice well decoratedalthough was very cold No heating on despite the freezing weather Tables crammed too close together so you couldn t even walk past Entertainment - fun casino was good Music was ok although way too loud could not even hear each other speak Very small dance floor due to the number of tables squeezed in Food - was told to arrive for 7pm for food to be served 7 30pm Starter did not come until after 8pm Main course came an hour after this - very small portion for 50 per head price 3 pieces of thinly sliced turkey 2 potatoes one slice of carrot 3 sprouts and a thin slice of stuffing Food was cold Best part was the dessert but this didn t come out until well after the entertainment started at 10 20 Overall I will not be coming back here again Clearly a lack of catering experience for this many people

Beautiful but lacked management

This place has been done beautifully I couldn t wait to try it out and with the bouncy castle we were not disappointed at first impression HOWEVER service was really quite dreadful and I feel sorry for the girls They lack direction and they really need some management there When we ordered we were told the food would be about 20-30mins which was absolutely fine My husband and daughter got their drinks and I waited over 15 mins for mine - it was a mocktail Over an hour went by and after giving benefit of the doubt I asked where I food was The lady went to the kitchen never came back Alarm bells started so I asked someone else who investigated only to find out our food order had never actually reached the kitchen We were offered free drinks if we ever go back it s unlikely unfortunately Did get a full refund of the food I need to add

Shocking organisation of fireworks

Shocking organisation of fireworks night 30 for a family of 5 and then a extra 5 charge parking which was given at 2 days notice Unable to park so had to give up and go home and no refund available Awful business

I thought little chief breakfasts were bad

Visited for a full English breakfast all I received was a full plate of disappointment Terrible quality ingredients all round and poorly cooked items The bacon had been microwaved and was hardly cooked Over priced and staff were rude and clueless about everything Don t waste your time or money here Better off going to white row farm Cafe which is close to this place and far superior in every aspect
