This is a club, which means that the bar may be only open to members.
Located alongside the busy A34 Kingsway, this club was established early in the 20th century. A major refurbishment took place in 2010, opening up the whole building as one through room. The bar is central with one side being a very modern lounge with an impressive trophy cabinet along the far wall. The other side of the bar has more seating but doubles as a function room; live sports are also shown. The function room can be sub-divided by a solid wooden folding partition, turning the large single room into two separate rooms both served by the one bar counter. While the driveway into the sports ground is immediately off the A34, the club building is set back somewhat, and being double-glazed is thankfully free of traffic noise, even outside for those standing on the terrace smoking or vaping. Four sports are played here: Cricket, Lacrosse, Tennis and Bowls, all teams taking part in local North West leagues. A small beer festival is held annually here in late May, with around a dozen ales available. The bar is available to all, not just members.
If you encounter Wainwright Gold being sold on handpump here, be aware this is a brewery-conditioned beer. It is part of Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company's (CMBC) Fresh Ale line-up. Fresh Ale is a keg beer that's brewed using a similar method to cask ale, but is NOT cask ale.
This venue has been flagged by CAMRA volunteers as using a misleading dispense method to serve beer.
This is a 'Fresh Ale' - a keg beer served through a cask handpump. Find out more here Handpump Hijack.
If in doubt, we recommend that you Ask if it's Cask before making a purchase.
This Club serves 1 changing beer (occasional guest beer such as Hobgoblin, etc) and 0 regular beers.
