This is a club, which means that the bar may be only open to members.
The venue has a public licence meaning you do not have to be a club member in order to use it.
With an outdoor terrace and great views of the Royal Harbour and the seas beyond this is a lovely place to sit back and relax, either alone or indeed to enjoy with friends. Once inside, the bar and seating area has a modern formal décor interspersed with pennants (burgees), crests, trophies and images of boats under sail. It is worth noting that during daylight hours when the bar is open the Blue Ensign is always flown from the flagpole on the terrace.
Check direct with site for the availability of the weekday food menu.
Historic Interest
The building dates from the latter half of the 1800s and became home for the Temple Yacht Club in 1896. Three years later at Queen Victoria’s command the club became the Royal Temple Yacht Club and was granted use of the blue ensign flag. During world war two the building was requisitioned as the officer’s mess and wardroom of the shore based HMS Fervant. This base was a naval command centre and an underground munitions storage facility.
