Me and 3 of my workmates had the roast dinner Yorkshire wraps to take away and are quite easily one of the best things we have had for lunch. I had the vegan one and it's was really tasty. Will be ordering them again soon.

The best eggs in the UK. It’s unbelievable how hard it is to get a great fried egg . Love your theme nights too. The stark night was our favourite

Last Sunday was our first visit our Burgers were delicious! The best we have had since moving to the UK. The lady that took our order was very pleasant. The only negative is the staff don’t tell you how to order and they just look at you sitting there. I had to send my son to the counter to ask if we needed to come up to place our orders.

My wife and I stopped here for Breakfast while holidaying in the area and most certainly not disappointed. Every single item on their Clubhouse Breakfast was cooked to absolute perfection, and it was quite simply one of the best cooked breakfasts I have ever eaten! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

Having left a 4star for my Clubhouse 1896 experience I was shocked to see it showed as a 1star and understandably a concerned response from the venue. Firstly my apologies and I'll attempt to change however if its not possible here is my review. Found a table member of staff promptly came over and took our drink order and returned with drinks for our food choices, we went for a lught lunch choice. While waiting it was nice to see the staff promptly clearing and cleaning tables when people left, the condiment tray was well stocked even down to drinks mats. So our double egg chips and beans twice arrived looked nice tasted great! I noted the Sunday roasts coming from the the kitchen looked amazing too, and will definitely be back for more. Again Clubhouse 1896 my apologies for the error 4stars from me

We had our wedding reception meal here last week and I can honestly say it was fabulous. The staff were extremely attentive and the food was the best. Thank you to Lee, Hannah, Jay and the team for making our special day so memorable.
