Brilliant place for snooker/pool. The place has a live bar for hot and cold beverages. Staff are friendly and the place is well maintained. A few TV screens are also well placed. Highly recommended.

Visiting from Canada. This is a must see snooker club! We received a warm welcome from Joe at the bar. Played on the beautiful Predator match table and enjoyed every minute. Joe took the time to show us Stephen Hendry’s table which is in a private room. Absolute top notch service and equipment. The club is a must see! Thank’s Joe for the hospitality
