The Kennels

We arranged out joint 80th birthday party for 40 of our friends and family last Sunday, the champagne reception in the library, followed by lunch in the conservatory, with the advantage of the use of the patio afterwards for coffee and further drinks. The arrangements and planning were handled by Emma Schaverien to a standard, rarely achievable today, our waiting staff were impeccable, further ensuring that the day.went incredibly smoothly, so much so, we shall be certainly be booking our 60th Wedding Anniversary Party there, in the not too distant future. Meanwhile, we shall keep the memories going by the occasional Sunday lunch.

The Kennels is a fantastic member's clubhouse for the whole estate. It has views across the fields and up to the main house. The restaurant is a fantastic place to have a lovely meal. Had dinner in the main dinning room which was lovely with fantastic and attentive staff. A must for all members to vist no matter what one of the Goodwood clubs you belong to.

Great location with fantastic service. Good range of staff which were all very helpful. Lovely location too steeped in history. Ample parking across the road Great wine selection was knowledge staff to offer guidance Food was great and speedy to come with a good selection on the menu. Would recommend and would go again

Hospitality at the Kennels, for Goodwood Festival of Speed. Simply incredible. The food at the Kennels was exemplary, the event organisation was simply outstanding, and luckily for us the weather was wonderful too. If you like cars, this place is a Mecca and must be visited at least once in your lifetime.

The kennels is a private members club (£170 pa for social membership and included with Gym/GGRC/Flying club/horse racing subscription). Most might attribute a stuffy atmosphere to such an establishment but quite to the contrary there are many raucous functions that I have enjoyed immensely. The recent Oktoberfest was great fun and involved lots of beer, dancing, beer, pretzels and yet more beer. If you value a relaxed atmosphere in a beautiful location, go and have a look. It's not cheap but quality of this standard isn't. The value is in the experience and the decorum. ------ Update 2020: Still going here, still as good as ever. The cakes, scones, beer nuts,...in fact all the foods are to die for.
