The Long Room Wine and Food Society holds monthly luncheons in the Long Room on the last Wednesday of each month and has been doing so since its inception in 1987.
Other special events such as the annual dinner held in April and the November luncheon, which is devoted to international wines, are conducted through the course of the year.The society has established a substantial cellar beneath the Members Pavilion and draws occasionally from this resource for "cellar days", which are held two or three times each year. Winemakers are invited to show their wines at all other functions. Outstanding cuisine is provided by a rotating band of high-class chefs.
Most luncheons attract more than 180 members and guests (maximum two per member at present), which is the capacity for the Long Room, meaning some functions are held in the Members' Dining Room. View the Long Room Wine and Food Society rules and regulations.
