25.01.2022 Martini please, Jeeves. Right away, Sir. @ Rufus Melbourne

24.01.2022 New Opening Hours: It has been requested by quite a few patrons that we open our doors on Sundays, and so we are delighted to announce that as of this week, our new hours are Wednesday through to Sunday, open from 4pm until late each day. Jeeves looks forward to welcoming you.

23.01.2022 The poodle [Rufus] ate in the dining room with the rest of the family. A cloth was laid for him on the Persian carpet beside the head of the household, and no one else ate until the butler had served Rufuss meal. - excerpt from The Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill

23.01.2022 Martini please, Jeeves. #martinipleasejeeves

20.01.2022 If you need some normality (and a stiff drink) right now, were here. Our 25-seat Parlour and open air Terrace provide lots of quiet corners for a martini or two. Our butlers are of course taking every precaution to ensure the health and wellbeing of all guests. Wed be delighted to welcome you in. Also, in further good news, please enjoy this image of an extremely cute puppy.

20.01.2022 Thankfully our heated English Terrace provides plenty of outdoor seating as we comply with the new government recommendations for indoor spaces this weekend. Our butlers would love to mix you a drink. We remain open for business. Press on, chaps! #supportlocal #supporthospo

19.01.2022 Looks like this is the only kind of Aviation well all be indulging in for awhile. As long as we are all trapped within these borders, your local businesses would love your support... Including us! Jeeves would be delighted to welcome you for a quiet drink this weekend. Our doors remain open and there is plenty of seating on the Terrace. #supportlocalbusiness #supportlocal #supporthospitality Photo by @ari_mond

19.01.2022 It is not quite time for us to reopen just yet, chaps. We are still negotiating some finer points of the new government policy and we await further advice to ensure we are compliant. But cheer up, we wont be far behind if we can help it! Stay tuned for further details as they come to hand. Our butlers very much look forward to welcoming you soon.

18.01.2022 Happy World Cocktail Day, everybody. You may have to mix your own martinis for now, but rest assured Jeeves will be ready and waiting to do it for you... just as soon as we are allowed to reopen. We miss you all terribly. #martinisoonpleasejeeves

16.01.2022 For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else. - Sir Winston Churchill. Were open and remaining glass half full - of gin, naturally.

15.01.2022 We have just the perfect corner in our cosy whisky room for evenings like this.

14.01.2022 Not just yet, chaps. We will regrettably be unable to open anytime in the next few weeks.

We do look forward to welcoming you all back just as soon as we can.

11.01.2022 My darling Clemmie, in your letter from Madras you wrote some words very dear to me, about having enriched your life. I cannot tell you what pleasure this gave me, because I always feel so overwhelmingly in your debt, if there can be accounts in love What it has been to me to live all these years in your heart and companionship no phrases can convey. - a letter from Winston Churchill to his beloved wife, Clementine. Lets keep the Valentine romance going all weekend. Were open today and tomorrow from 4pm until late for champagne, caviar, oysters, martinis and more. Jeeves looks forward to welcoming you.

11.01.2022 And that’s a wrap for now, friends. Some encouraging words from our inspirational muse, who endured far worse than what we are being asked to do...
