SPECIAL NOTICE - LIQUOR LICENCE: ON CONSUMPTION
|
The club has an on-consumption liquor licence, therefore members and their guests may not bring their own liquor onto the club premises, as this is regarded as an offence in terms of the Liquor Act.
|
|
No corkage fee facility is available for wines in the Crow’s Nest Bar upstairs. The facility will still be available when you are ordering a meal from the restaurant downstairs. Arrangements to pay corkage can be set up with Carl when you want to bring your own wines for a function, provided that it does not appear on the wine list.
