We are so happy to see that the Chariots Bar is open again! As always the food, service and beer were all great, but it now comes with a beautifully renovated and stylish patio area. It really is an amazing experience everytime we go there! Thank you.

COVID protocols are important. Bureaucracy is not. Unco-ordinated, box ticking, inflexible covid form filling makes no sense. Doing so bending over a cracked table in the foyer is not exactly a 4 star experience. Especially when the next interaction is to ask you why you are here (ask first if there are numerous options) and then redirect you to a different site where the process must be repeated. Staff just doing what they are told. This is a management issue.

Excellent venue-caters for any occasion you could think of-has superb array of function areas, friendly staff and able assist and suggest creative solutions-don’t be fooled though, you get what you pay for-no more, no less. The chefs and catering guys know their stuff and come highly recommended. Convenient location, easily found, ample parking and great security makes this a preferred banqueting spot.

I do like the wanderers club setup. I mostly play action football at Wanderers Discovery park but the facilities available and the club as a whole is always well maintained, monitored and a great safe experience going there.

Adhere to rules and regulations of covid, it has more courts to accommodate players. The ladies rooms are so clean

They treat the regulars brilliantly, fast service, charismatic waiters and the manager even sits down and chats. But the new customers or those they don’t know or deem less important, they basically ignore. Would not recommend it at all. Unless you want to wait for hours and literally beg for service. Even though the restaurant has been revamped, the service is still abysmal and the same problems have come through. The food is decent but it doesn’t make up for the service.

Was a great day, we went there for the PnP Wine Show. Everything was well planned and organised.The price for tickets was a bit steep, but if you had to look at the amount of wines available for tasting it was actually well priced.The biggest let down was that they didnt have enough food stalls.

One of Joburgs oldest sporting clubs, offering a wide variety of sporting facilities (including lawn bowls, squash, a hockey Astro, tennis courts, 5 a side soccer & more) to members and their guests.The clubhouse has both a pub (offering a slightly fancier than normal pub menu) and a formal restaurant.There are several function venues that can be hired and the venue has some very pretty garden areas.A childrens play area is also available in the garden.

You have to carry your ticket with you at all times, because they check it everytime you go out to purchase food and drinks.The vendors selling food and drinks are extremely expensive. Take all your savings with you....especially when you take your kids. They need to regulate these vendors, as you feel that you are in another country.🍗🍟😡😡

Large sports complex with multiple fields and venues for different sporting codes. Note that parking for large events can be problematic. The traffic on Rudd Road tends to back up because cars entering through the main gate drive in one by one. Key tip is to get onto North Road from the Melrose Arch side to avoid this.

Have been several times to the venue and has always been good. There is a variety of chairs to choose from and different areas so you can choose which type of environment you like.I have had the pasta, pizza and Fish. The fish is good, not the greatest. Pizza is good with a variety. Pasta is good for the price.

Good conference facilities. I was writing an exam in one of the conference rooms. The exam was 8 hours long so it was very important that we were comfortable. Absolutely no complaints.

Weve watched rugby matches and the world cup rugby final there, South Africa won emphatically. It was great and the team of waiters in the Wanderers were as great. How often de trays waiters were carrying were bumped due to the crowd in the bar I cannot count, beer was spilled, bottles knocked over and glasses broke but the waiters kept on smiling.Excellent service, good simple food at a fair price.

Review №87

We visited a showing of the art, prior to a sale by Strauss and Co - Art Auctioneers at the Wanderers Club. The venue is well suited to an Art Exhibition, with lots of space and good lighting. The venue also catered for the exhibition, with tea and coffee and some snacks. The venue also has a restaurant with tables outside for those who are happy to brave the winter chill. The menu catered to a range of tastes and the food was well prepared and tasty. There were some delays in the service offered, but generally the staff were responsive and polite.The gardens surrounding the club are impressive and the views of those enthusiasts playing bowls was also entertaining.That venue is certainly worth a second visit.

A great place for people who want to stay active. Green grass, fresh air, nice place. I was there for the JP Morgan Corporate Challenge so there was a shortage of parking. Im not sure how the parking situation is on a normal day
