Attended a private function in one of the function rooms. Clean, nice decor plenty of space for the 40 guests. Dance floor, Seating with tables. Food was served buffet style in own are of room. Sandwiches, quiches, pork pie along with other cold options. Hot selection was varied options of Indian samosa, differant style chicken pieces , chips and lots more. A really good choice of finger food for the guests. Bar had plenty of options with bottled and cask, gins, wines and soft drinks. Plenty of toilets so no long queues. Toilets clean and well kept. Ample parking outside, noticed alot of camper vans parked up in one section.Drinking area outside with canopy and seating. Staff extremely warm, friendly, helpful and welcoming. Bar prices well priced. Looked on notice board and the place has multiple acts, theme weekends all thru the year. Carvery on a Sunday is one of the most popular in the area, booking advised. Venue itself has other function room that would easily suit a wedding reception or larger Birthday celebration. Venue easy to find as is along side Drax power station on major roads.Parking: Plenty of parking for smaller upto big vehicles. Parking is free and safe and secure.Wheelchair accessibility: All on one level with wide doors and well thought out bar and social areas. Disabled toilets easily accessible.

The best venue and dancefloor for Northern Soul nites. They even put talc on the dancefloor for you if you ask them.Great resident and guest deejays that create a proper soulful dance vibe.Quick and courteous bar staff boosted by reasonable drinks prices. There is plenty of free car parking, and it's only £3 OTD.It'd been a while since I'd been, but it didn't disappoint. I had a great night and danced to plenty of tunes I'd not heard for a while.

Christmas lunch was tasty well cooked and hot! The table decorations were better than expected and the tables were set with plenty of room around them. The service was controlled so there was never a huge queue at the carvery. Drinks were served at the table were excellent! The staff were efficient and friendly ensuring they were worth a large tip from me!Parking: Large car park on siteKid-friendliness: We had a 4 and 6 year old with us I a party of 18! They had a ball and entertained our party and along with other children the whole restaurant without causing offence!Wheelchair accessibility: Level entry and accessible toilets
