The Bar and Restaurants

An A la Carte restaurant is divided into three areas; the Terrace, the Galley and the Deck. The same menu is served throughout these areas with the only difference being the setting. The Galley offers a private dining area tucked away from the hustle of the club, while the Terrace and Deck have a more relaxed atmosphere.
The restaurant trades seven days a week, opening at 08h00 in the morning and closing at 22h00 in the evening, Sundays until 18h00.
The menu is well balanced and offers a wide variety of choices. Chef Marco also provides daily specials as well evening specials every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings. The Sunday roast is popular with members and the wine list offers a good selection from house wine to boutique wines.

The yacht club has two main bars, the traditional Men's bar and the Ladies bar. The men's bar is a smoking bar and provides the club with memories of years gone by set with its collection of plaques, memorabilia and photos of famous boats from yester-years. The ladies bar is situated in the water side of the club and overlooks the marinas. The bar trades till 11 pm and has a reputation for stretching time when the club gets into full swing.

Friday evening entertainment ranges from one-man to six-piece bands.
On the last Friday of the month we have the club's house band The Rockers entertaining us till late.
