“We wanted to say thank you very much to you and the whole team at Temple for allowing us hold Grace’s christening reception at the Club on Saturday 8 February. The welcome everyone received was fantastic and all of the guests were amazed by the room and views. I would recommend hosting events at the Club to anyone. Also, please pass on our thanks to Liam for putting on some great food. And to Francis for all his help and being so accommodating. We really enjoyed the day.”

“As Lynda and I said to you this morning we would like to put on record our gratitude and appreciation for how well we were looked after yesterday. As a member of Temple I am well aware of the professionalism and friendliness of the Temple team, but we were particularly touched by the enthusiasm of Liam and Francis during the planning of our lunch party. On the day the quality of the food, the attention to detail and the friendly help and support of both the kitchen and front of house teams could not have been bettered. All our 50 plus guests were full of compliments.Add to this the location and the great value on offer, we in Temple have something very special to enjoy. Thanks again to everyone.

“We very much enjoyed the Sunday lunch on 18th February. Lovely venue, dining room open appearing spacious, and served by the Temple staff…..how nice and super efficient everyone is!”
Nigel Kenyon (Member) – February 2018
“Apart from the weather (a minor consideration despite the incessant rain which gradually increased towards the end of the round) this was a great day. The course was fantastic and the greens were in great condition despite the rain. The Secretary and all the staff were very accommodating to the point that coffee and biscuits were delivered to the changing room after the round – a welcome sight to 15 bedraggled golfers. The meal and setting was one of the best we have enjoyed and it was unanimously agreed to come again in the summer when good weather could be anticipated!”
Richard Jones – The London Stationers GS – June 2019
“Please thank Liam, Francis and their staff for the most excellent Carpe Diem Christmas lunch yesterday. We were very well looked after and the lunch was extremely good value. The starters were particularly appreciated. We all left very satisfied.”
Keith Whittle – December 2018
“We had a great evening recently when 25 of us sat down to a delicious dinner. With a choice of 4 dishes per course everyone was able to select their own dish which naturally meant a lot of preparation for each person as we all had different dishes!. It was all beautifully presented and very very tasty!! Well done Liam and team. We were very ably served and looked after all evening by Francis and his very attentive staff. We shall be back and I shall be grateful if you will convey our thanks and congratulations to all those concerned on the night.”
David de Bromhead (Dinner Organiser) – August 2018
“Recently our “Boyz Lunch club” had a spectacular meal at Temple. Liam really did us proud with a fine dining menu that included lobster, fillet steak and chocolate souffle which exceeded the best to be found anywhere within a 50 mile radius. No exaggeration !! Our party of 5 dined in a screened off part of the Willie Park Jr. Room and enjoyed lunch accompanied by that fantastic outlook over the course. In any decent local eatery one would be talking £60-£80 per head without wine. The Temple price was an absolute bargain. Please pass our thanks to Liam, Francis and their respective teams.”
Bam Marks – September 2018
“Thank you so much for everything at the AGM last Sunday and all Temple does for Archie and Finlay. They were both very chuffed with their amazing crystal trophies. They did not know so it was a lovely surprise. They were over the moon. Send my thanks to everyone and see you hopefully next week at skills in the course. Many thanks Emma”
Emma Smith (Mother of junior members Archie and Finlay Creffield) – November 2017
“The recent SATam Christmas Dinner was an outstanding evening. The food was excellent, both traditional and vegetarian, and the reception and service were as friendly and efficient as ever. On behalf of SATam, please pass my thanks to Liam, Francis and their respective teams.”
Jim McLean (SATam) – December 2018
