Petals and Stones – Jo Burn’s Debut Novel
As you may already know, a large proportion of staff here at the Club have many strings to their bows.

Feuerzangenbowle – The Recipe
Revellers at the Club during the festive season can choose to treat themselves to a real blaze of glory: our Feuerzangenbowle!

Dia de los Meurtos
Here at the Club we enjoy the good things in life, and of course life itself. But what if here on the earthly plane we’re only enjoying half the fun? It’s an uplifting thought that perhaps once we shuffle off this mortal coil, we’ll still be around somehow to keep an eye on our loved ones and receive the same love and admiration we did when we were alive and kicking – and in many countries, this belief has been held as gospel for generations.
Talented in the kitchen?
Fancy joining the club for the Summer Season? We’re getting the garden ship shape and sprucing up the outdoor furniture. This means more covers for our little kitchen to cater for. So we need some seasonal (April or May to September) extra kitchen staff.
