Sam's Club House at The Belfry

Located in 500 acres of grounds within easy reach of Birmingham, the prestigious Belfry resort has recently undergone a £26m transformation that is sure to boost its prestige as a Mecca for golfing events. New chef/director Glen Watson is responsible for the hotel’s bars and eateries, including the refurbished Sam’s Club House – a more casual alternative to the flagship Ryder Grill. Pitch up at the bar or gaze over the fairways from the main dining area, where please-all international food is the deal. Fill up on sandwiches and wraps, woof down a bowl of pasta or devour one of the stone-baked pizzas; alternatively, order duck spring rolls followed by steak and ale pudding, chicken curry or a flame-grilled steak with a bottle from the international wine list. A special area is set aside for watching worldwide sport on TV.
