I visited the site last Friday, and was very pleased both with the venue itself and the venue staff.
The room is light and airy with a high ceiling, so noise shouldn’t be an issue. There is sufficient space for 100+ players with plenty of space between tables. We also have space for some seats by the bar, and there is also a patio area for fresh air/smoking.
Catering details are to be confirmed, but currently the idea is that it will be limited to sandwiches & snacks from the bar. I am also investigating pre-ordered (on the day) lunch bags to speed things up. As the venue is not walkable to any other catering this may be the best option for those not bringing their own lunch. I will also enquire about breakfast baps if there is sufficient interest. Expect a survey in the next few weeks.
I have updated the venue details page to reflect the above Venue Details
