Dining

New autumn menus at the ClubOur new menus are here. Pop into The Club Room for a relaxed lunch: a cheeseburger with little ship sauce, a grilled chicken ciabatta or a bowl of Crown Prince squash soup. The Coffee Bar serves everything from espresso to a rich 45% hot chocolate. For something more special, The Dining Room has a seasonal autumn menu with potted Morecambe Bay shrimps, braised ox cheeks with truffle mash, pan-fried stone bass, and Cox's Orange Pippin apple crumble to finish. Wines from The Club Bar go well with all of it, with English sparkling and Champagne alongside favourites from France, Italy, Spain and beyond, many by the glass. We look forward to seeing you.
