The British Club

Our usual hangout for the family, love the pool, the service and it takes you out of the hustle and bustle of life. The kids love the food at the Verandah Cafe and their usual favorites are: - butter nun - chicken wings - pasta Particularly good are their range of Indian food: - Murg Makhani (tandoori chicken Tikka double cooked in butter and cream tomato sauce) - Murg Tikka Masala (basically tandoori chicken) Buffet options are also available, both for adults and the kids. For drinks, we particularly love the lassi (yogurt drink). Finally, the club has superb and excellent service. Always attentive and looking towards the needs. It’s always good to also show your appreciation towards them :)

Been a member here almost five years. It’s easy to get to for me because it’s very close to my place. Roads leading in and out are narrow though. You’ll need a car or just take the shuttle in and out. The restaurants are interesting and you usually have a good variety to choose from. The menu also evolves from time to time so there’s some creativity involved. The food is generally pretty consistent and tasty across the four restaurants for the prices and there will usually be more than a few bright spots (dishes) at Mountbatten, pub grub at Windsor, smaller bites at sports bar and everyday dishes are the verandah. Service staff wise at the restaurants I would say that there is room for improvement. Mostly the experienced male waiters don’t even smile when you arrive or serve you. They’re also not very communicative and struggle to make good recommendations. The redeeming grace are the few usual ladies and one or two select male staff who are more smiley and communicative and make you feel more at ease. Be prepared that the rest will be more mechanical and younger ones more inexperienced. You’ll feel more accepting. In terms of sports and games there’s swimming and tennis, squash and the ubiquitous club fitness gym and attached chinose spa with sports massage. Experience is quite meh. Don’t expect to be treated like royalty. One friendly instructor here had left. So sad. There are regular children programmes held for kids like art and craft or activities tied with festivals so it can be quite interesting if your kids like these kinda activities. Some areas of the club are more run down and displaying their age definitely and there are others that have been refurbished and simply given maintenance. However, given the easy entry (as term member) or even lifetime member (as compared to the newly renovated American Club) it’s still generally acceptably British so far.
