Kepplewray is an ideal place to bring a group from your CU. It is warm, comfortable, has great food, and has all you need for a stimulating weekend away at prices even students can afford
Here's an excerpt from a letter from a satisfied group:
“I am writing on behalf of the Staffordshire University Christian Union, who visited the Kepplewray centre from 11-13 February, to thank the staff of the centre very much for the welcome we received on our arrival and for making our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as it was. I think I can speak for everyone who attended when I say that we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay with you, and were reluctant to return to Stoke-on-Trent when our visit was at an end!
Thank you again for allowing us to use the Kepplewray Centre for the weekend, and I hope that we would be able to return and visit again some day.”
First the important bit - food. Here's a sample menu for one day from our vast range of home-cooked pies, pastas, pizzas, curries, BBQs etc. We are also used to providing for special diets:
| Breakfast | Packed Lunch | Evening Meal |
| Fruit Juice Cereal Toast Bacon and egg Tea or coffee |
Sandwiches with choice of 10
fillings Crisps Chocolate biscuit Fruit |
Vegetable Soup or Fruit Juice Chicken casserole with herb scone, potatoes
and sweet corn Fruit crumble & custard |
Groups can help themselves to tea/coffee and cold drinks at any time, and there are always home-made biscuits or cakes for those who get peckish between meals.
