Every year, Members and guests look forward to the annual Wine Tasting Supper with Mr Bryce Fraser of Corney & Barrow, wine merchants to the Club.

I am delighted to confirm the details for this event, which will take place on Thursday 31st August at 6.30 for 7.00pm.

This year, Bryce has personally selected a TOP SECRET array of fantastic and eclectic wines to accompany our menu. I am sworn to secrecy but can happily assure Members and guests that they are in for a real treat and a perception-challenging evening.

In total, Bryce will offer seven wines throughout the meal – two whites, four reds, and a dessert wine. The ticket price for the evening is £55.00 per person, which includes provision of these wines. This represents astonishing value for the wine alone and we are, as ever, grateful to Bryce for his trademark munificence.

Here are the details of the evening’s menu:

Fillet of Rock Turbot in Kataifi Pastry, Parsley Mayonnaise, Pickled Cucumber, Apple and Dulce
