A Tour of Denvilles House
Denvilles House was constructed mainly in the 1820s on the site believed to be of the earlier Manor House of the Lord of Wade predating the later ‘Wade Court’. It is a Grade II Listed building, set in an acre of land with attractive gardens and parking for 60 vehicles.
As you enter the grounds you are presented with a view of the house itself and its magnificent Portico.
The Gardens are entirely maintained by members.
During summer months there are tables set out on the lawn in the front of the restaurant where members can eat 'Al Fresco'.
Tables are also set out at the side of the club on the patio area adjacent to the main bar where members and guests can enjoy a drink and a bar meal and take in the sun.
A new addition to the front lawn is a putting green.
On entering the club you find yourself in the Hallway with a view of the 'Flying Staircase'. This leads to the Club office.
The framed picture that can be seen above the stairs is of 'Lively Lady,' Sir Alec Rose's boat that he sailed in round the world. Sir Alec opened the original Langstone Conservative Club in Homewell House, Havant in 1969 and the 'new' club at Denvilles house in 1977.
On the right of the hallway is the Panel Room. This is a small comfortable room with
panelled walls giving it a warm feel. The panelling is from the liner 'Mauritania'.
The Panel Room is often used for private functions and meetings. It has facilities for business meetings including WiFi, and a ceiling mounted projector and screen which are often used for film shows, sporting events and ever popular Opera nights where films of opera performances are shown by one of our members.
On the opposite side of the hallway is the Restaurant 'ChefSam@33'.
The Restaurant is run as a franchise and is open to the public as well as club members.
ChefSam@33 is truly "Havant's Best Kept Secret"
The Restaurant is open Tuesday to Saturday Lunchtimes and for Sunday Lunch.
Continuing along the hallway you come to the 'Club Room', this is the Main Bar of the club and the venue for the Saturday night entertainment. Various raffles of meat, drinks,hampers etc are held at varying times during the week. Bar meals provided by ChefSam@33 are available for members, Tuesday to Sunday at lunchtime and Tuesday to Saturday evenings.
Continuing out tour, we pass through the door at the far end of the 'Club Room' and climb a few steps to the 'Card Room'.
The Card Room is ideal for small meetings, Clubs such as Bridge, Cribbage, Whist, War Games, Stamp Collecting, etc.
The Card Room has also facilities for Table Tennis.
Retracing our steps we come to a door leading to the 'John Burrows Snooker Room'
The Snooker Room is a popular facility of the club.
There are two tables available for a small fee.
Returning to the Club Room, what better way is there of finishing our tour of Denvilles House than to have a drink in the bar and maybe a meal at 'ChefSamm@33'.
