My daughter attended her prom here, it's a beautiful venue but the food was inedible (dry and over cooked). We paid £40 for a ticket and get the impression that because they are teenagers it didn't matter. Very few ate the food and as my daughter is diabetic and needs to eat and given the price this was appalling service.

Just had my first experience playing vale royal golf course. As a visitor the only addition I'd like is just a map on the score card showing the layout of the course. Tried to use satellite views on Google when possible but I just think it's a nice touch to have a little image guide of the course in a score card. Overall great course great staff. And had a blast. Will be going back to now try to hold a decent score round there now I'm familiar with the layout and where to miss.

We recently attended a wedding here. There had been some mix up/miscommunication re: dietary requirements so there was no food for us at the wedding (as you can imagine having not eaten since 9am by 4.30pm we were just as hungry as everyone else). It wasn’t just the lack of food it was the poor communication and how we were treated by the waitressing team (one waitress in particular) who clearly did not care at all that we had no food and would not answer any of our questions. We were eventually given a main meal but it was very poor. We were given very mixed messages about what was in the food. Due to pressure from us and the bride we were provided with a dessert however this was exactly the same dessert as everybody else but chopped up, presented different and placed into a different bowl. Needless to say that at this point we did not trust the caterings team ability to cater to those with dietary requirements/allergies so we chose not to eat it. I left the wedding at this point due to the terrible experience from staff and to go and find myself some food! Shocking experience.

Excellent course for Winter Golf. Shame our 3 ball was held up from 7th hole onwards by a 2 ball who were filming themselves. They were completely oblivious to 3 people stood waiting on each tee or in the fairway waiting for the green to clear, whilst they set up the tripod camera to record every shot.(Ready Golf it wasn't) What should of been a perfect winter Golf day, turned into a slow & cold round. This shouldn't be allowed on the course when it's busy. A highly anticipated golf day ruined by oblivious selfish golfers.

Perfect start to Christmas, See you next year. Well done to the Vale Royal Abbey Team...... Thankyou from both of us!!!!

New Year’s Eve party 🎉 Bit disappointing. Not as good as previous years. All inclusive drinks was on a budget. No Prosecco or champagne offered. You had to take your own glass back to bar for a refill however you could not get a double, as the staff stated this was to discourage people from getting drunk ?? Food was a bit below par. Think presentation was lovely but quality not Staff as usual were brilliant. Probably find a different venue for next year

I am yet to try the golf course however, as golf courses go, it looked amazing.

The DJ was brilliant, he joined us on the dance floor and generally seemed like he was loving life. The magician was very entertaining. The staff were amazing, we were well looked after by Tina and the rest of the team, the bar and waiting on staff were great, especially young Louis who we wound up all night! Another young memeber of staff took the time to have a boogie with our 84 year old Vera, (Sorry didn't get his name) she's a proper spring chicken. Also have to mention Vicky who sorted our booking out, excellent communication, very quick to answer emails and queries. Thanks everyone!

Had dinner here. The location is excellent, but the bar and food service was very amateurish. The service was mainly by very young people, they tried their best but struggled without any leadership from senior staff. Lack of knowledge behind the bar meant that three staff served one guest this caused queues and frustration. When the food eventually arrived, it was unceremoniously plonked down!. As stated above, the building is very nice but the overall experience was disappointing.

We visited yesterday as a group of 120 diners and the food was very disappointing. We have visited for the last four years for the same event and have never been disappointed previously. The setting and location is perfect but the standard of food and beverage was poor. The carvery wasn’t hot, was presented like a school dinner and tasted as though it had been cooked hours before. The gravy was very watery. Starter and dessert were better than the carvery but the dessert was also served as a school dinner covered in custard (on a sticky toffee pudding?) Tea was stewed and luke warm. Beautiful venue but catering needs looking into!

We stayed for 1 night last night, our room was at top of building 4th floor it was not a very nice room for the price we payed, there was a funny smell all through the night, the noise from out side we could hear all night we did not sleep even though our windows were shut and secondary glazing were also shut. It is way over priced for what you get, we will not stay here again.

The play area is super shabby, had to watch my daughter closely as there is stuff falling off the wall and exposed screw heads etc (on the tractor thing) She had a nice time on it to begin with though. Food was pretty bad, I had eggshells in my egg which was gross, but otherwise very average microwave pub food. Daughter's sunshine rice had weird sloppy orange stuff in it, possibly very overcooked sweet potato? We then went back to the play area which is very clearly signposted under 5s, a load of older kids came in and knocked my 2yo over throwing the soft play shapes around. I asked a member of staff if they enforced the age limit and he said "usually but it's quiet" 😂 what's the point in having a toddler area if it's not safe for toddlers to play in? I think the staff member was probably scared to ask the parents to get them out. Anyway we just left. Wouldn't go back.

Been for a Sunday meal.Had to wait fourth mins for food. Then they brought my starters with my main meal. The fish was that burnt I had to leave half of it.then had to wait another fourty mins for the afters. Apple and fruit pie with no pastry or custard. Absolute joke of a place.tried it there once . Not again.
