“Went to OSC Club for a funeral, nice function rooms , staff were great, everything was as it should be, highly recommend this venue for everything.”

– Keith Ball

“Went to this club following a funeral. The place was lovely and clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. It was a really nice touch to have screens up sharing old pictures. It really helped to make the day feel special. So glad of the air-con too, the place didn’t feel stuffy or cramped. Considering it was an event nobody was looking forward to, the club and staff made it feel special – thank you.”
