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):

Scott unfortunately sustained an injury in the kitchen yesterday and therefore will not be able to cater today.

Unfortunately Scott will be leaving us on the weekend of the 13th December (after the Adult Christmas Party) as he has taken a job closer to where he lives. We wish him every success.

We are currently looking for alternative catering to ensure that we can continue to have food when we are expecting it. This in the interim may be a multiple of different people, however all will come with previous good experience.

Please speak to the our Secretary for any Functions being booked that may require catering.
