Our Menus
In the nineteenth century, the Club’s then Chef – Richard Terry, wrote one of Britain’s first Indian Cookery Books entitled Indian Cookery, and this continues to influence the menus of the Club today. Many of our Members have lived in the East or often travel to Asia and are well versed in authentic cuisine.
Today, menus are contemporary whilst retaining a selection of well-loved Club Classics. Some dishes draw inspiration from the Club’s history, with strong Eastern influences, including the famous Curry feasts. There are also British and European elements to our menus, ranging from traditions with a modern twist to newer creations.
British Suppliers & Seasonal Produce
We are passionate about sourcing only the best ingredients for the Club kitchen and the food is firmly focussed on seasonality and local, high-quality produce.
The Club Cellar
Members have access to an extensive Wine List that has been many years in the making. The Club tends to partner with long-standing, trusted vignerons, agents and importers, resulting in wines that are both of superb quality and value.
Oriental Club Members have access to a Wine List that has been carefully curated over many years – one of the many benefits of Club membership. With over 20,000 bottles of wine in the Club’s Cellars, there are many gems to discover. Wine has always held a special place in the hearts of Oriental Club Members and this Wine List is a testament to that.
