  Celebration of life

We used Dainton as a venue for a celebration of life after a funeral. The whole event was managed superbly. A lovely venue with multiple areas to be able to chat with people and share memories. We used the main room, bar and terrace. The buffet menu was adapted to our tastes, and we had great service from the bar and events team in helping with music and a slideshow. Thank you to Emma and the team for helping to make a difficult day that little bit easier by honouring my brother.

  Company Christmas party

We booked Dainton Golf Club for our company Christmas party, it was excellent from point of booking right through until the end of the night. Emma is very helpful and quick to respond to any queries. The staff at the venue were all great and attentive too. The venue was decorated beautifully, the 3 course meal was fantastic and great value.
Highly recommend and look forward to booking our Christmas 2025 party with you!

My family and I attend this establishment every year for our Christmas celebrations and will continue to do so. The staff are friendly and helpful and there is great communication when making bookings. The food is also excellent and parties are well planned. I have also attended other family events here. Would recommend.
