| Visited on sat for the Heroes night, my (TB’s) first time here but SSS has been about 5 years ago.
Staff were friendly, liked the cloakroom idea.
Impressive bar/dance/social area when you first go in, can fit a lot of people in and it was the hub of the action for all of the time we were there.
Liked the idea of some of the other areas like the cars, the second pub/social area and the shadow room (which we made the most of later!) but some seemed a bit oddly located and a bit of an afterthought just to fill some space.
The fact that the bar was cash as you went along was a bit awkward with a lack of pockets in our outfits but sure it’s not an issue on a normal night.
Whole place was clean and tidy, but felt like it could just do with a bit of a spruce or freshen up, especially the pub area which did just feel like an old boozer, complete with decor.
Some people may not be bothered about that kind of thing which is fine, as there were plenty of plus points to outweigh the little niggles, but compared to places we visit more regularly, it just felt like it was lacking a bit of love in some areas.
A few tweaks (like a smaller pub area and extra playroom, the couples room not being freezing and a bit of a restyle) along with a bit of a tart up and it could be up there with the better ones in the country.
