Review of Himley Hall Dining Club
Whilst I and the people I was with enjoyed our time at Himley Hall Dining Club, this wasnât one of the best Dining Club experiences Iâve been to. In my opinion, this was no different to that of any other free Digbeth Dining Club event. So to be charged for an underwhelming experience felt like a kick in the teeth.
Thereâs a few reasons why I say underwhelming. Firstly, for paid entry I would have preferred better entertainment. The DJ did create a nice atmosphere, but live musicians mixed in would have offered something everyone could enjoy.
Iâd also argue that the sound system for the music was not set up for the scope of the event. One incredibly loud speaker was used to fill the venue with music. From a distance, this was perfect. But god I felt sorry for the venders adjacent to the DJ booth. Ear-plugs weâre definitely needed. Next time Iâd recommend placing the speaker away from where people are ordering food, as being in proximity to it was an ear-splitting experience.
The venders as always do an immaculate job given the popularity of these events, and considering the dayâs scorching temperatures, they were on top form. Shout out to guys at Island Lounge for some great jerk chicken. One suggestion would be to include more drink stalls, as long queues deterred the people I was with from enjoying a cold alcoholic beverage.
I was also quite disappointed at the communication regarding parking at Himley Hall. On the event page, it said that information about parking would be communicated at a later date. That never came, not to my email, not through Facebook, or any other social media that I could find. So, when I arrived and discovered that I needed to pay another £3.50 for parking, I was a bit put off. Anyone who knows Himley may know that itâs not exactly an easy place to get to as a pedestrian, so a car is almost a requirement for a trip to Himley. While I appreciate that Dudley Council do charge regular visitors for parking, events are usually an exception to this rule. In fact, at a previous event held at Himley only a week before, parking was free for event attendees.
Himley is a lovely setting for an event like this, and I would like to see it happen again. But the creases mentioned above need to be ironed out before it happens again.

Review of Himley Hall Dining Club
We love events at Himley and are never disappointed. The music was great. Variety, perfect. We were however very disappointed that we were abruptly told by 3 members of staff at 6:10 that we needed to leave. We were still eating with full plates and cups at this point. We felt pressured to get up and leave our food.. especially when tables were being packed away around us. Unfortunately this did spoil the day for us. Other than that⦠a good day ð¤·ð¼ââï¸ð
