Clubhouse, weddings and functions

After the round, a view over the course

The bar and restaurant look out over the course and Cambridgeshire, with home-made food from local suppliers. The clubhouse is licensed for civil ceremonies, so a wedding can have its ceremony and reception in one place. Chelsea, the Events Manager, plans each one, and Head Chef Martyn writes the menus.
