Functions at Northern Football Club
To hire the McCracken Suite please speak to the Manager who will be happy to discuss your requirements. The room hire is £250. We will set the room as you require using circular tables or if you prefer we can provide other tables by request. All our tables will be dressed with white linen cloths creating a blank canvas for you to decorate the room as you wish.
Our menus are included in this brochure so you can read them at your leisure, however if you would like to discuss your catering requirements we encourage people to arrange a meeting with the Manager. The catering possibilities are vast and we can offer bespoke menus from formal wedding breakfasts to BBQs. We can offer options for specialist dietary requirements so please inform the Manager of any guests with allergies and we will make sure they are well looked after.
Having booked your function, you can take advantage of our 85 inch tv screen to display your photographs - this works particularly well for birthday celebrations and wedding receptions. We can also offer the use of our PA system for speeches and background music free of charge.
For your evening entertainment you can hire our DJ for £190. Our DJ has many years’ experience and has developed a music video style which adds a visual element to your disco. This is often very popular at family events.
Drinks packages are available on request. If you would like to bring in your own choice of wine or sparkling wine our corkage charge is £8.00 per bottle. All glassware and service will be provided by our friendly staff.
