Hello to everyone at the club.

My name is Steve and I will be taking over as chef at the club next week. I wanted to think of a new name for the catering department, something to do with sailing and cooking, and I’ve come up with The Galley Kitchen.

I’ve already received texts and welcomes from many of you, thanks!

My first day will be doing the carvery this Sunday 18th. Mick Killkelly, of Butlers Fish, has kindly offered to come and help me, as he already knows how everything works there. I’m sure a lot of you will know him already.

After Sunday I will be in the kitchen at the normal times.  I hope in time to be able to offer you some really good food. I like to use fresh, seasonal  ingredients and will try to offer good value and a choice of something for everyone. I will post a menu up in the next few days to give you an idea of what will be available for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Any comments or feedback is always welcome.

I know Paul has already put my phone number on the website, but just to repeat it is 07947 741946. I have also created a dedicated email address for getting in touch with me: [email protected]

Looking forward to meeting you all and getting started.

Steve

Steve Bullus has now joined and will be catering for us next Sunday.

So don’t miss this excellent opportunity.

 Please phone and book with Steve, so he can sort a table out for you and also knows how many he is catering for.

Call on 07947 741946
or email [email protected]
saying your name and how many in your party.

We are sure you will all welcome Steve Bullus who will be joining us as our permanent caterer from Sunday 18th January.
Steve looks forward to welcoming members for a full range of meals at our regular opening times and hopes to offer more outside of these times where possible.
I would ask you all to support Steve as he gets used to our environment and members.

If you want to speak to Steve for bookings or parties, his contact phone number is: 07947 741946 .

Steve will initially be offering the popular Sunday Carvery on the 18th and will be requiring bookings to identify numbers. Please phone or text Steve with your name and number of required seats.

Unfortunately Lesley is a little unwell at present and therefore Lunchtime Catering will not be available until further notice. We all hope that Lesley recovers soon and look forward to seeing her.

Many many thanks indeed to all those who made our annual New Year’s Day Brunch possible, in particular Martin Swindon who stepped forward to lead the troops and cook for us and Paul Morgan who organised the whole event and collected all the supplies personally.  Janet Willsmer and Margaret Kennedy, our fantastic admin team, were on duty all morning.  General Committee members and their partners were there performing a range of roles from food prep to washing up to serving.  Thanks also to Paul’s children who, as always, were amazingly helpful and worked like trojans all morning.

The bar was also incredibly busy but nobody was kept waiting thanks to the efficient and friendly service provided by our bar staff.

Another wonderful, successful, event made possible by members pulling together from all sections of the Club!

Had enough of cooking at home over Christmas. So don’t forget that Lesley will be catering at Lunchtime everyday this week, except New Years Day. She will continue with her popular offerings (there is no Turkey), however suggested that Friday maybe slightly restricted due to the Bank Holiday.

Don’t forget on New Years day the Committee will be cooking and serving Brunch between 11:00 and 13:00.

We are pleased to announce even without a caterer there will be a New Years Day Brunch – enjoy a “recovery” brunch cooked and served by club and committee members!

Between 11.00am and 1.00pm on 1st January, Martin Swindon and members of the General Committee (and family) will be in the kitchen for one day only (in fact two hours only!) serving full English breakfasts and other brunch options including Scrambled Eggs with Smoked Salmon (no pre-orders required) at only £7.50 per person (Children £4.00).

Tickets available now from the club bar – this is always very popular and restricted to 120 people, so please buy your tickets early to avoid disappointment (no later than 30th December 2014).

The bar will be open and will also be serving Bucks Fizz, Bloody Mary’s and all your other favourites.

Lesley is already known to most of you and has offered to deliver a Weekday Lunchtime service until we identify a new permanent caterer. Although only a few days before Christmas she will also be continuing after. Christmas times are soon to be published.

I am sure you realise Lesley will have to settle in to know the expected numbers, however plans to offer the following choices at £6-£7 (there maybe a few changes before she starts so check the table talkers on the day):
