 We are a licensed premises, so no drinks can be bought onto the premises for the function and all drinks will need to bought from the bar. We have the facility to run a tab for your guests or run a cash bar at club prices. Being a licensed premises the usual rules apply in terms of the guests being of age to purchase alcohol, so yes, ID doc’s will be required if they look underage to the barman.

 The club would also like the opportunity to quote for the catering as we have a fully equipped kitchen and excellent chef with function experience on staff . To do a lamb on spit with 3 salads, savoury baked potatoes and rolls would be approximately R100 depending on requirements (starters , deserts, etc).

 We can also do snack platters, munchie baskets, sandwiches, etc at various prices per head. For more info on this option, speak to the chef directly.

 If you prefer al a carte [ CLICK HERE ] to check out our club menu, but this option takes more time, especially if there is a large group that need to eat at once as our kitchen facilities are limited to about 20 pax per sitting. If you are interested in this option, please contact the club for more details and prices.
