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.

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.

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.

Absolute brilliant night, 1st class service from all the staff, from being greeted to ensuring our food served hot with a smile, to ensuring our ice bucket was topped up, the food was to a very high standard and quality, enjoyed every course, a great DJ who kept the dance floor full throughout the evening, not out first visit but we see improvement year on year, wondering how it's possible, this venue has an eye for detail and an understanding of proples expectations..... 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.

We had our Christmas Party here last night, It was fabulous, I was expecting it to be very crowded but it wasn't it was just perfect, there were 20 of us and we went for the £55 package which included a three course meal, free drinks all night, a magician and a disco. 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!

Went to the spa with lunch. The spa treatments were excellent. The spa facilities were ok, some of it wasn't working and we were not shown how things would work ie, if someone would find us for our treatments and lunch. We had vouchers that I sent via email and were taken from us at the spa. The communications between the spa and restaurant could be better as the waiting on staff didnt know what was on our voucher and we had to find the images of the vouchers to show what we had

We had our wedding here in early September and everything was perfect! It was exactly the relaxed vibe we were after, and exceeded all of our expectations. Milly was super helpful, friendly and organised in the run up and the whole team worked really hard on the day to give us and our guests the best day. The food, service and atmosphere were all fab and the lovely weather meant we could enjoy most of the day out in the garden which was an extra bonus! Thanks Milly and team xx
