Sports club hopes to have restaurant as part of its team

Fancy running a restaurant with one of the best views in the city?

A wave of improvements totalling £500,000 is taking place at Ashbrooke Sports Club, which has a long history in the city dating back to 1887-and was even once home to SAFC.

The registered charity still has a broad sporting offering today, hosting football, rugby, squash, bowls, table tennis and cricket clubs, as well as being used by local schools, fitness clubs, holiday sports clubs and more.

But it's also entering a new chapter with its wider hospitality offering, its bars undergoing their biggest makeovers for years-including the toilets, which were much in need of renovations.

As part of the team's drive to get more people through the doors of the historic site, they're looking for a hospitality operator to take on the cafe/restaurant unit.
