Had a function here. The food is quite exceptional and plentiful and great quality. The staff are so helpful too. I would recommend this for whatever function you desire
Had a birthday lunch in banqueting hall for 80 friends/family. Couldn't fault the service and food. Many guest were amazed. Great day, thanks to all the staff.
Lovely place and surroundings. Good food too. However one of the bar staff in the golf club could do with re-visiting Customer Service School. Lost a star as her attitude sucked.
Great place fpr a golf trip. Rooms are a little dated but for the money you cant complain. Also, the restaurant and bar is fantasic
This venue was ideal for our wake. The food was real good and any member of the many staff were more than willing and able to tend to anything you require. Well done, nice ending to a traumatic day. Thnx
Lunch with the family. Be aware that table only available for 3 hours. Nice meal with the lamb shank and beef recommended. Very disappointing fruit salad with 90% apples and pears with two raspberries split into six pieces. ( see picture ) lovely mango sorbet though. Won’t have that again if we return.
Top Meadow is a parkland golf course with a fairly rudimentary hotel on site. The rooms are perfectly reasonable, but could not be described as luxurious. However, the rates are very fair, especially when combined with a round or two of golf and dinner/breakfast. The dinner menu is surprising varied and the restaurant service is friendly and efficient. Breakfast was basic but sufficient. The golf course lacks variation and there are some long walks between green and next tee, but overall, its all in good order and a good test. I came as part of a small group, and would be happy to come again.
I went there for an 80th birthday party. Good food and hosting by the staff and enjoyable party.
