RNC & RAYC GARYS GALLEY

Whilst the closure of Pubs, Restaurants and Clubs has presented a huge financial challenge to the hospitality industry the voyage that the Royal Naval Club & Royal Albert Yacht Club has been on during these times can only be described as adventurous!

Not only has the front of this iconic building in Pembroke Road undergone a much needed makeover but internally much renovation work has been done to present a fantastic contemporary look without losing its rich heritage providing a wonderful venue for weddings and other private hire functions. The club Chairman Keith Toomey has been working ceaselessly to ensure that the reopening of the Club goes without a hitch, “I’m really excited to be welcoming the members and the public back to our new look club, in recent weeks we have booked three weddings and two anniversary parties for members of the public. The Club is proud to share its rich heritage and outstanding first floor sea views for private functions”. The kitchens have also been busy with a home delivery service called Gary’s Galley. The Head Chef Gary has been cooking at the club for twenty years and prior to this served in the Royal Navy for many years so changing course to switch from serving outstanding meals to Royalty, Admirals and

Generals was something he took in his stride.

Head Chef Gary

Gary said: “Having overcome the initial challenges of ensuring the food was delivered to people’s home without losing any of its integrity we have been overwhelmed by the positive feedback and complimentary emails”. We have also been fortunate in working renowned local butcher Buckwell’s who have been supplying various items for our menus.
