Attended a wake held at the cricket club, the buffet provided exceeded our expectations! There was such a big selection of sandwiches, quiche, sausage rolls, chicken drumsticks & samosas all beautifully laid out in a beautiful venue room. The staff were fantastic and the drinks were a very reasonable price. Would have no hesitation to recommend for any occasion. Many thanks!

Had a great day today at Fordhouses Cricket Club. Jan and Colin who run the club were so welcoming and friendly. The weather was perfect, great atmosphere with lots of friendly people. Great facilities and great game of cricket too. Highly recommended for all ages and families in the community.

Went to watch my grandson play football. Good pitch considering all the rain we have had. Social club staff very polite and friendly. No animosity because we were from the opposing side.

Held my dad's wake here, which was especially appropriate as he played club cricket around Wolverhampton for 30 years. The arrangements were made with Colin & Rob, both of whom were extremely helpful. There is a good size car park which has easy access to the large function room, which was important to us as we had several people with mobility issues. The food was good and there was plenty of it, together with tea and coffee and the bar was open for those that wanted to toast my dad. Overall excellent.

Nice clean club house. Sizeable function rooms. Very reasonably priced bar. A good sized car park at the front with another good sized over flow to the rear. I was here for a birthday party which was ideal for this venue. Only one complaint was that the room was a little warm.

Just wanted to say thank you to Rob and everyone who helped us organise our mom's wake at the cricket club at the end of Nov. We could not have asked for anymore. The buffet that was provided was excellent and to the room itself. we where even able to take our homemade cakes in. Thank you all. Would definitely recommend the cricket club.

Just held our mother's wake there in a lovely room that holds around 40 people which is perfect for smaller gatherings. It meant the atmosphere was wonderful. The buffet supplied was excellent and we were even given "doggy bags" to take home the rest rather than go to waste. Plus it is just a short drive from Bushbury Crematorium which makes it ideal for a wake. Cannot fault them. Thank you.

I would highly recommend Fordhouses Cricket Club as a first rate venue. Good choice of menu for buffet which was of a good quality and more than ample for the numbers catered. A big thank you to Rob who was most accommodating and he could not do enough for us. From the outset we had every confidence in Rob that he would deliver all that we had asked for, he went over and beyond our expectations and made it a memorable occasion.
