The hotel offer meals in the bar or resaurant and the food is pub grub. On sundays they offer a carvery in a canteen style room at the back of the hotel. It really is like school not hotel but the food is reasonable and to feed 10 people together with no washing up for me is always welcome

The chair covers were as described 'top quality' and they had every colour imagineable in the sashes and a very classy range of centrepieces.

I would highly recommend them for quality,price and for being genuineley nice people.

The staff are very friendly and the pro shop stocks some great golfing gear from clubs to shoes. There is a gym with swimming pool and sauna which currently has great offers for joining which I am tempted to join.

The newly refurbished bar is also an added bonus. I am looking to become a member of this club very shortly as it is one of the best around.

I have read what Mr Bozanko and his Blonde wife have said about the excellent Delicious Dinners and…read morefeel that I must put the record straight. I have been getting the meals from Delicious Dinners for my 77 year old Mother for the past two years and have nothing put praise for Ruth (the owner who I have got to know over those two years). Her Company has never failed to deliver quality hot meals to my mother, even in the heavy snow and my mother loves the meals she gets. This service has been invaluable to me as I work shifts 6 days a week and without Ruth and her Company would have struggled to get my mother a meal. I know that Ruth works hard and has a lot of customers, so this kind of nonsense is an unfair attack on her and her staff. Keep up the good work Delicious Dinners and don't listen to the Mancs. We in Sunderland think your great and in the end that's all that really counts. Ha Ha bozanko you are such an arse. listen pal I did my own 'DUE DILIGENCE' on your aunty maudes gaff two years ago and if your happy to let your father eat meals prepared by a bloke who cooks out of his terraced house (who also keeps animals in the house) then you go right ahead. Me I actually care about what my Mother eats. Also the district nurse for my mother recommended Delicious Dinners at the time. You obviously have something personal against Ruth so why slander her Business and her staff, just lay off you pratt. They provide a good service to my Mother and have never failed. I have told Ruth to contact the Police and report you as you are clearly unhinged. P.S stay in Manc land with your blonde bimbo
