We’re pleased to announce, following the success of The Wanderer Bar & Kitchen at our Knaresborough site, we’re bringing this concept to Seacroft for members to experience.

During the winter months, we’ve been busy renovating the onsite restaurant ready for when the site reopens 16 March 2018. We invite you to dine and taste a great range of freshly prepared food, with locally sourced specials in the new relaxed seaside restaurant and look forward to welcoming you soon. Find out more about the restaurants here: The Wanderer Bar & Kitchen

    Unfortunately the Club's IT system does not agree with me that this is a good idea and responds to the above link with "Bad Request".

    We regularly visit Seacroft and have used the bar and restaurant there many times.  The food has always been good and at a reasonable price.  Having just looked at the menu from Knaresborough and the prices, if the same is introduced at Seacroft we certainly won't be using it.  We are there at Easter so will have a look at it then.

    We have also used the bar and restaurant, I would be interested to know if we will still be welcome with our dog?  If I remember previously we could go in the first part but not the main entertainment area

    Hope this continues, we are there in July so will check it out then

    I imagine only only those staying onsite can use the restaurant? Given the limited customer base I would think reflects on prices. We have used the current restaurant a couple of times and thought it fair value. Will wait until we have used it again under the new guise before passing further comment.

    Good to see the Club developing this sort of facility on sites, hopefully there will be more.

    We’ve tried the Knaresborough one, and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. To a degree, I guess “all have their own idea of value for money” and/or “you get what you pay for”. We will certainly use either when on site.

    The prices of the 'mains' don't seem too extortionate but we certainly wouldn't pay £4.50 for soup or £4.95 for a pudding when our van would only be minutes away.

    All sounds very interesting. An decent menu for a caravan site restaurant but some age old favourites are missing. No steak pies, no apple pie and custard no fruit crumble. These are well established favourites. Just one question. How do they make homemade black pudding on site? surprised

    I would agree that the menu prices probably are on par with a pub meal.  What the previous restaurant did well was to provide decent food at a very good price and we were happy to use it.  Site fees plus increased cost in restaurant will mean more meals in the van.  We will reserve judgement until we have been at Easter and seen what's on the menu.

    Great idea.... Restaurants so far on the Knaresborough and Seacroft sites.-- Will this idea be rolled out over the whole sites network ?.

    Great news, visited Seacroft before and the on site bar/restaurant was a little basic, food wise, we have just visited Knaresborough and thought the Wanderer a far better standard, a bit dearer but you do get what you pay for and would rather pay a bit more and have good food rather than deep fried.

    I think that C&CC have that covered with their static sales.

    I think it rather a nice idea to have a restaurant on site, as many continental campsites do. I expect there are a limited number of sites where this could be achieved. To me it is enhancing the quality of the campsite not lowering it. Perhaps Looe and Brecon Beacons could be next?

    They are aren't something we would use ,but if it's only a few sites then it's good to a variety of types of sites

    We've often had the bar food at Hillhead, hope the menu improves there on similar lines. They do a good carvery too on Sundays. A handy facility if there is nothing else close by, you don't have to drive afterwards. smile

    Not useful for me I expect. 

    I almost never eat out of an evening unless we socialise with friends. If we eat lunch it would be off site. The exception would be abroad but even then very unlikely to eat where we are staying.

    Not stayed on either Knaresborough or Seacroft,  but we have used commercial sites that have a bar and restaurant, also club sites that have a pub nearby. Found them useful, may eventually get round to staying on one of the two club sites at some point. Think its a good idea to have this facility on some sites.

    Well apart from not being a facility that I am likely to use the chances at present are even slimmer in that they are only open breakfast and lunch and from Friday until Saturday. I doubt breakfast starts early enough and I am unlikely to be on site for lunch serving.

    I wonder if they are open for an evening meal and the website is wrong? Very likely!
