New Club Restaurant Inclusions

We have a slew of fabulous new restaurants to share with you this week, all offering club benefits to members – so lets get straight on with it!

1. Chinese Cricket Club at The Crowne Plaza, London EC4

You won’t need bat or ball at this fragrant Chinese restaurant within the Crowne Plaza. The eccentric name is in honour of the national team (launched in 2009, the year the restaurant opened), but that’s where the cricket ends. The true focus is on a dazzling array of succulent menus that take a whistle-stop tour of the country’s cuisine, from Szechuan pork belly and dry-fried lamb to Cantonese prawn har gao, honey-glazed pork puffs and Shanghai noodles. A joyful experience all round.

Chinese Cricket Club restaurant is located within the 4 star deluxe hotel, Crowne Plaza London – The City.

Club Offer: Members receive a 20% reduction from the total food bill for lunch Monday to Friday and Dinner Sunday to Friday. For more info and booking details click here.

3. Lutyens Restaurant, Bar & Private Rooms, London EC4

Lutyens opened in the summer of 2009 and is located in the former Reuters building – the famous ticker tape is referenced in the marble mosaic floor.  The restaurant is quintessentially Conran in design, reminiscent of a dining room on board an art deco cruise liner, together with the feeling of a modern version of the much-loved classic Parisian brasserie.

5. The Restaurant at Storrs Hall, Windermere

Storrs Hall is one of the most stunning hotels in the Lake District. A grand grade II Georgian mansion in 17 acres on the shores of Lake Windermere and with its own National Trust-owned folly the “Temple” there is plenty to consume with its natural surroundings.

It is the view that first captures one’s attention at this exquisite Lake District mansion. But once seated at the elegant tables, the cuisine soon seizes your attention back to the plate in front of you. The food is a hymn to the seasons and landscape of the Lakes. The imaginative cuisine has strong rural, traditional roots but is finished to an international standard. The fine art of cooking is expertly employed in every sumptuous dish. With a view to match, this is food for the body and soul.

Club Offer: Member exclusively dines complimentary when dining with one or more guests. Dinner Sunday to Thursday. Click here for details and booking info.

6. Caravaggio, London EC3

Created in homage to a key genius of the Italian Renaissance, Caravaggio is dedicated to gastronomic excellence, aiming to demonstrate the same dedication to quality and innovation in the field of food and drink as the great Italian masters brought to painting and sculpture.  Caravaggio is one of the city’s most well established fine dining restaurants, offering superb modern Italian cuisine in elegant art deco surroundings.  Formally opened by Luciano Pavarotti in 1996, Caravaggio is the most serious Italian restaurant in the City and a firm favourite with the movers and shakers of the square mile, many of whom are regular customers.

Club Offer: Members & their guests enjoy a complimentary glass of Champagne when dining from the A La Carte menu. Dinner from Monday to Friday. Click here for details and booking info.

The restaurant has a conservatory at the back for al fresco dining with the advantage of an electric roof to enable year round dining. The conservatory features cedar wood decking and the theme continues into the restaurant with limestone and cedar wood panels.

8. The Lyttelton Restaurant at The Stafford London

With smooth ivory and grey hues set against rich floral fabrics, The Lyttelton gives one the feeling of visiting a warm and elegant friend’s home. The name harks back to the house’s 19th century owners, Lord and Lady Lyttelton, but the atmosphere is up to date, casually elegant and welcoming. Menus feature Chef Carlos Martinez’ take on British cuisine, with Mediterrean flavours and exquisite rendering; witness the smoothly gorgeous beef fillet carpaccio, the lip-smacking West Country venison loin and the Rabbit Wellington, as curiously grand and tasty as it sounds.

Club Offer: Members receive a 15% reduction from the total food bill when dining from the A La Carte menu. Lunch and Dinner from Monday to Sunday. Click here for details and booking info.
