"There you go OP. Two compelling personal arguments as to club preference. Although I may add that Jaydee's does have stairs, probably because it's twice the size of VA, and I'm sure most Adults walk up and down stairs every day of their lives, so not sure how you would break your neck. But hey-ho. I can't speak for everyone. ![]() To be fair I've not been to Jaydees in a few years, but unless they have changed the stairs they were pretty steep and rickety and not exactly designed for ladies in heels to negotiate easily, so can understand the previous posters comment from that perspective. As for the OP - they are two very different clubs in terms of layout, facilities and overall vibe - Jaydees the emphasis seems to be on "fun" in quite a tongue in cheek, almost Carry On way (and I am not saying that as a criticism or to be disrespectful) whereas VA goes for a more classy and relaxed vibe. Personally I prefer VA, but know lots of people that love Jaydees and have a great time there, and think both have their place and their positives and negatives. | |||

"We use both clubs a fair bit but we agree. VA is decorated fantastic and is a great club. But the people at Jaydees are just so much friendlier. We have struggled to get people to talk at VA but at Jaydees everyone chats." We will talk to you at VA ![]() | |||

"We’ve done both and never had a bad night at Jaydees. We did have a bad night once at VA with a group of men hunting like wolves, following women to the toilets, just leaning in and touching when we were playing. Really put us off of returning. " Yes, agree that’s not nice. We’ve been a couple of nights with single guys and not had an issue. | |||

"Been to both... 2hr ish drive for us... Not been to VA since we 'had' to go to Jaydees when VA shut unexpectedly. Been to VA a few times and exchanged half a dozen words with people. Jaydees is way more friendly. VA is more 'dress up' which is our thing so we will definately visiit again.. but its a long drive and guatanteed fun at Jaydees so it would have to be a special event at VA to tempt us Both fun though" We have the same experiences but it’s only 15 mins drive for us. But we agree special events will encourage us to VA but any night at all is great at Jaydees. It’s the people that make a night out, and we find them nicer at Jaydees. Never seen any bitchiness there, last time at VA I heard a lady tell another ‘you aren’t pretty enough to play with us’. | |||

"We love going to VA on Wednesday during the day." We also love VA on a Wednesday. We've only been to VA once in the evening and it was dull and unfriendly in comparison to Wednesday day times, but we're not sure if it was an off night or not, seemed most people were drinking to get pissed rather than to be social and play. We'll give VA another go for an evening but if it's the same experience as the first time we won't try a third time. We both want to try jaydees but evenings are difficult for us. | |||

"Jaydees is not dirty at all. " Don’t particularly want to get into an argument but the carpet in changing area was stained and appeared dirty, why not put tiles down? Chairs around the dance floor were stained, might have just been drink but who knows. Again why not have something cleanable? This is our impression of the two clubs, VA we would visit again. Jaydees we wouldn’t. ![]() | |||

"So has VA changed hands since The Festival of Fun last summer???" No it hasn’t changed hands, club is still owned by the lovely Jules and Kim manages the place wonderfully and has done since last August. There was a different manager in for a very brief period around the FoF period, but that ended just after the festival finished. VA have the most amazing team now and work tirelessly to maintain the standard and credit it fully deserves ![]() | |||

"Every time the who’s best Jaydees or VA threads appear, it descends into the clique/groupies/regulars/organisers etc chipping in. Hilarious.... Make up your own minds people, both have good & bad points....." Exactly, the staff in Jaydees were lovely, showed us round and had no problems but it didn’t suit us. The staff and atmosphere in VA has always been great on the evenings we’ve been. Fridays, spicys bi night ![]() | |||

"We regularly attend VA's daytime event, and love it! People are friendly and welcoming and there is always lots of playing. Unfortunately in experience of going to 3 evening events it was the total opposite and we won'tbe wasting our money again." So many people have recommended the VA daytime events. We may give it a go soon to see what it's like. T xx | |||

"Like many clubs the frission ambience whatever you want to call it is strangely missing at va. By all accounts it lacks something and I agree that people are much friendlier at jaydees . The manageress was very friendly at va while taking my membership subscription but not so much after that. Staff are cold and unwelcoming." There is no membership subscription at The Vanilla Alternative. Guests just need to register, for free, via the club's website. You then pay the entrance fee each time you visit. | |||

"We LOVE VA, such a classy, clean and friendly club with fantastic facilities and an awesome team of staff. Looking forward to the clubs birthday celebrations next Saturday (29th) and all the entertainment they have lined up. They are especially welcoming to new guests and it’s always a very, sexy crowd. " Can’t wait to see you back! ![]() ![]() | |||

"It’s a shame to see that as usual, posts comparing clubs always end in a negative manner with some people using the opportunity to only give negative comments about the club they don’t usually go to... why not focus on the positives of the club you enjoy if you want to attract people there? Is it fair to comment if you haven’t been and rely on ‘hearsay’ or have only been once a long time ago? We can’t comment on Jaydees as we have never been and for various reasons it doesn’t appeal to us but speaking positively about The Vanilla Alternative, we can say it’s scrupulously clean, hygienic, and well looked after. The Owner, Manageress and their staff work tirelessly to ensure the club maintains its high standards and have ‘their’ rules for their own reasons. Both clubs will appeal to different people and you have the choice of which to go to. There is no need to put down the club YOU don’t like. " Not really a fair representation by yourselves as you host evenings there. Can’t really rely on an unbiased opinion. Where the paying customers are saying personal experiences but apparently that isn’t right. | |||

"The reason the owner of the VA is not always around herself is because she is finalising and preparing for the opening of her second venue." ![]() | |||

"We have given VA more than one visit and every one has been the same. It's not a vendetta or personal attack Jaydees is bt far a more superior club on many levels. The owners actually want be part of the scenes instead of treating it as a get rich scheme. They dont care weather you were a jumper all night or walk round naked, they rightfully so will not let any play happen in the hot tub as this is disgusting do what you want in your own hot tub but dont let other people bathe in your bodily fluids. Jaydees is cheaper and bigger. Has more rooms , has private rooms and is just a better club Change owners and revamp rules and pricing structure you will find alot of people will change their mind. I know pernsonaly for definitely a few people on here have held back quite a bit so cant all be just someone trying to big "their favourite club" up as someone pointed out. " My opinion is also based on fact, the carpet by lockers was dirty, the chairs around dance floor were stained, people who had taken no care in their appearance were walking about and acting in a way that was to the detriment of the atmosphere. The layout upstairs was awkward to navigate. To be fair to the owners they have posted that the floor by the lockers is going to be changed and the seats have been recovered, good to see they are actively trying to correct any problems. The next bit is down to personal preference and we prefer a venue where the management do care if you are walking around the play areas in a pair of scruffy jeans and a hoody. We don’t go out often and enjoy dressing well when we do, it’s an event make some effort. we love open play but nothing kills the mood quicker than an audience of fully dressed gorpers So the VA is good for some, Jaydees is good for others, what’s not to love about that. | |||

"I don’t see why there has to be a JDs or VA choice why can’t people appreciate they have two great clubs on their doorstep and be thankful for it. We have none in Essex, they should appreciate both for the hard work and effort the owners and staff put it. Everyone will have a favourite I’m sure, but seriously life is too short to be negative because you think you’re doing your fave club a favour by slatting another. Both clubs are well run, clean, friendly and welcoming....don’t be a sheeple follow your own path of discovery!" Exactly this! ![]() ![]() | |||
