Having arrived at a surprise birthday party on Saturday 1st July at the Phoenix club in Newton Aycliffe and seeing how much hard work the family and friends had done on the birthday boys behalf it was very disappointing to see the DJ who was recommend by the club basically threating to turn the music off if he wasn't paid in full. The family were very shocked and distressed with this behaviour as they had just arrived in the room, also during the night when asked to play up to date songs he's reply was that he was playing to an older crowd and just played what he wanted even though it was a 30th and not a 70th birthday with an average age in the room of between 18-35. He also stopped playing at exactly 11pm and just disappeared from the room and as the family and friends started to tidy and do what the club had asked by putting table and chairs away and tidying up the bar staff were busy taking their drinks of which some were full drinks and all before 11:10pm just after they had bought them at 11:00pm. You can see why this club is struggling if they treat people like this we will defiantly not be using this club for any more organised events or even for a normal night out.

Although it's no longer called the Legion...its now The Pheonix, it's a fab little club with lovely people running it and equally lovely people that enjoy a night out in here. I used to go years ago (in my younger days) lol. I love my Friday nights sitting with a cple of friends while enjoying whichever act is on and listening to people having fun on the kareoke! Even getting up myself sometimes. .. its cheap beer great company fab atmosphere, what more could you want!!

this was a great place to eat it has changed caterers now food is often cold and parts missing meat is thin and not a lot of it £6.95 now and was £5.95 its a pound more, but worse value for money my direct family of 7 and 5 children, mother in law and wife's sister and family of 4 would all often visit here, but no more the British Legion has gone seriously down hill I wouldn't recommend this venue now to anyone

pura buena comida a precios muy razonables el lugar está impecablemente limpio, como es de esperar de un club británico legión y, a diferencia de la mayoría de restaurantes los precios del bar son muy bien de precio

popped in here for lunch, the menu is varied and every thing is home cooked, a very tasty mince pie and chicken dinner was what we had, the service was quick and efficient and the price was very very reasonable, just over a tenner for two meals and two drinks worth every penny. will deffo go back...very soon.

Been here a couple times for cocktails, brilliant price. 2 for 1 and can even go back and get your second cocktail after the first so it doesn't go warm. Very helpful, definitely need to try the food

As a vegan (I am also lactose intolerant), this was a poor experience. The only meal on offer was beans on toast, which came with butter and was told there was no margarine (I had already asked for ma
