Each table is fully equipped with it's own set of accessories to enjoy the game. There is also a viewing lounge where players can relax over a drink whilst waiting for a table. We have junior, student and senior membership and our application system ensures we maintain our high standards. Our strict dress code rule must be respected at all times by both members and their guests. For members who wish to be a little more competitive they are invited to enter our various competitions.
