Bar & Catering

Overview:

We have a large three storey clubhouse, which includes a bar and lounge area, and a function room (known as the Dowsing Room) which has full catering facilities and can accommodate up to 100 people seated.

Our bar is open to members and their guests 7 days each week (outside of Covid restriction times - revised times are detailed below), both lunchtimes and evenings. We are also open lunchtime on both Christmas Day and Boxing Day, with the bar traditionally operated by the Commodore and Vice Commodore respectively on these days.

The main function room (Dowsing Room) is also available for hire at a modest fee to members for their own functions: celebrations, weddings, wakes etc. (click here for further details).

Sue Stripe is Benfleet Yacht Club's "Steward" and has full responsibility for the smooth running of the bar.

Bar Opening Times:

Due to current Covid restrictions, the club bar is currently closed until Tuesday 13th April.

Under the current Government Roadmap, the bar will re-open on Wednesday 14th April with the following days & times until further notice.

Wednesday, Thursday & Friday Lunchtimes - 11:30 to 14:30

Thursday & Friday - Evenings - 19:30 to 22:00

Saturday & Sunday - 12:00 to 18:00.

To comply with the Government's Roadmap, in the interim all drinks will have to be consumed outside whilst seated, until Roadmap Step 3 (with current advised timing no earlier than 17th May). To provide some form of protection and comfort for members and their guests, we will be erecting covered areas in accordance with Covid Regulations.

Catering:

New caterer 'Nichola and Stacey' - starting at BYC on Saturday 17th April.

We are delighted to announce that we have been able to secure a new caterer who will be joining us on Saturday 17th April.

Nichola along with her assistant, Stacey will be providing a selection of 'Bar Meals' at the club, initially at weekends only, and on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday lunchtimes commencing at a later date.

Nichola is also a professional cake maker, so expect to see many of her products on sale at Benfleet Yacht Club.
