Clubhouse

- Lunch MUST be booked in advance by calling the bar no later than 10am on the day.
- Members without a booking will not be allowed in the Smoke or Dining Rooms.
- Lunch can be booked up to 7 days in advance.
- There will be a maximum number allowed in the public rooms :-
- Once bookings for a certain time of day reach that number no further bookings will be taken.
- Members are asked not to linger over lunch to allow tables to be prepared for the next sitting at the table.
- Members must not delay lunch waiting for other groups to come in. A strict table layout will be in force and large groups will not be possible
- Table service will apply at all times. A member of staff will show groups to their table. All food and drink will be served to your table. These tables will be located throughout the public areas of the clubhouse. Exact details of how the table service will be operated are to be decided.
- At no time is a member or guest allowed to approach the bar area.
- There will be no entry to the clubhouse for members and guests who are not having lunch.
- After 3pm members may have a drink in the public rooms, but normal dress code rules apply. There will be no access to the Clubhouse for coffee etc. before 11am this is to allow the public rooms to be fully prepared for lunch.
The casual bar will remain closed. The outside drinks area will continue to be open from 11.00am until 7.00pm to allow members to have a drink without the requirement to put on a jacket & tie. This service over the lunch period will be dependent on numbers having lunch and the ability of the staff to man the two areas.
