News: UK Christmas Luncheon 2011

Christmas Luncheon 2011 - Saturday December 3rd - 1230 for 1300

This year we are having our Christmas Luncheon at the Royal Naval Club and Royal Albert Yacht Club. The Club is located at 17 Pembroke Road, Portsmouth. It is convenient to the Isle of Wight ferries and Portsmouth Harbour train station. There are two large car parks at Clarence Pier, another off Penny Street and plenty of on street parking.

About the Royal Naval and Royal Albert Yacht Club

The Club established its roots way back in the 1860s when it became a sanctuary and watering hole for naval officers who were generally a long way from home. The Clubhouse stands within the old fortifications at one of the best sites in Old Portsmouth, overlooking the Governors Green and with views over the Green and Long Curtain Battery to Spithead and the Isle of Wight. From the Club's tower it is possible to see from Cowes in the west, to Selsey Bill in the east. In the late 1800s and early 1900s it became a very well known rendezvous for Kings and Princes alike but more particularly those who liked their victuals and good wine. A glimpse at the still existing menu book of those early days shows the splendid quality of the meals.

Today the Club caters for members of all backgrounds and ages and not necessarily naval, and whether their interests are social or sailing they can expect the same exemplary standards of service laid down by our forefathers.

Attached is the full Christmas Lunch menu, an order slip for you to indicate your menu choices and directions to the Club. If you have questions about the Luncheon, please contact me.
