It has a friendly atmosphere and a good history of live entertainment, and has recently become home to several darts and pool teams which feature in local leagues. Currently trading 5 evenings per week, there is enormous potential to expand daytime and evening trade, capitalising on the club's recent success in holding live singing and band nights. There is also regular function and private party trade and potential.the club's capacity is for 170, accommodated in 1 main hall with 2 bars, but there is scope for partitioning to form 1 smaller lounge on entering from the foyer served by a bar, plus a larger room served by a 2nd bar. The club would suit applicants who have an interest in putting on live acts while also providing day-time trade during the week. Applicants will need to implement a business plan to win back this neglected day-time trade and to expand the evening operation.
