Outstanding Christmas Party
I love Christmas, but the worst part is trying to organise a 'please-all' event for 30+ staff. This year we had our works party at the Fighting Cocks and EVERYONE enjoyed it! They all loved the food (which was outstanding), the disco was great and the staff were really friendly and very festive. Great value, and undoubtedly the best Christmas party we have had. Well done, we will definitely be back. 5 Stars
