Our Members’ Lunches are a relaxed way to enjoy the Club beyond the drive. Hosted throughout the year at a carefully chosen selection of restaurants, pubs, and partner venues, each lunch is timed to suit the season and designed around an enjoyable daytime journey from the Clubhouse. These gatherings are intentionally informal, offering good food, unhurried conversation, and the chance to spend time with fellow members in settings that feel easy, social, and distinctly Auto Vivendi.
Email eva@autovivendi.com to register.
*Lunches are subject interest and last minute change to venue may be required based on numbers. We aim to arrange set menu cost where possible which will be charged at cost and added to membership re-chargables.
