    We decided to have a pre-show dinner indoors at the Events Centre because it was raining. The staff were great, so friendly and helpful. We had light meals (fish and chips, arancini, cauliflower salad) that were delicious and arrived promptly. Good prices and a good selection of drinks. Lovely night out.

    The Centre was absolutely packed due to 2 shows being on. The staff were so busy but they were not flustered. All staff were helpful, professional & very polite. Our meals were excellent value, served piping hot within a short time frame of placing our order.

    The service was exceptional, we had only sat down around 5 minutes and the food came out, piping hot well presented and good value , I would definitely go back and have dinner before a show again. Well done, I’m a qualified chef so I am fussy with my food but was 10/10
