Larger then the front would have you believe, I went to Lava and Ignite on a Saturday night as one of about 20 hens. In Oxford town centre, and in very close vicinity to a lot of other clubs and bars, this one was chosen for having the shortest queue and appearing to be the least rowdy.

Once past the dinghy lobby, there are 3 rooms playing dodgy cheese, dance/house and rnb/hip hop blend with a few places with comfy chairs, tables and sofas. The place was filled with a combination of the very young with a few more mature clubgoers smattered mainly in the dance/hip hop room.

To me, most rooms were quite dark and badly decorated with the exception of the dance room which I liked. However, I really did not care for the chosen tracks or how they were mixed. FLoor fillers seemed followed by more obscure tracks frequently. I felt they flowed badly.

Drinks not on offer were expensive, especially for out of London.

Staff, espeically front-of-house, were friendly and helpful.

Overall I found the place tacky and a touch chavvy. Not my cup of tea at all. May have enjoyed it as much as some of the other hens had I been as drunk as them!
