We have teamed up with Donald Russell to create a Steak Night Dinner menu guaranteed to satisfy the taste buds of all meat lovers. We caught up with them to discover more about their heritage, the provenance of their meat and learn about how they came to be awarded the Royal Warrant.

On the back of two tournaments, there was no stopping us here at Centurion Club as we hosted our very own event – our Club Championships.

It’s not every day that guests come cycling through our gates, but Wednesday 29 June was different as we welcomed the charity team from the On Course Foundation, who took a pitstop with us as part of their journey up the Country.

Stepping into the Director of Golf role is Peter Holland. A seasoned golfer with over 20 years experience, he tells us why he's back in his home county and shares his plans for Centurion Club.

Preparing a risotto is a labour of love, but 20 minutes of undivided attention (and a lot of stirring) and you'll be richly rewarded. Topped with buttery and soft turbot and garnished with vibrant, crisp Samphire, this delicious dish makes for a perfect midweek supper or dinner party main. Creamy, fresh and with a bit of bite, it's one that you'll go back to again and again.

There's nothing wrong with a traditional sugar and lemon pancake on Shrove Tuesday, but this year, why not try something a bit different? A sweet breakfast stack with fluffy American style pancakes will always be a big hit, but the savoury variety is worth a try too. Here are two simple and delicious recipes - one sweet, one savoury - one for breakfast and one for dinner perhaps! It is pancake day after all, so why not?

Mild-mannered and modest our Head Chef, Calvin Hill, isn’t really one for self-promotion. He’s most at ease behind the scenes, in the kitchen, surrounded by his team of talented chefs, and would rather let his food do the talking! But with his new seasonal menu proving to be a big hit with our diners, we insisted on finding out a bit more about his cooking style, inspiration, passion and overall flair for fine food.

The thought of getting out of bed, let alone out onto the golf course is hard enough on a dark, freezing winter morning, but with the right preparation, the right clothing and a hefty dose of positive mental attitude and motivation, it can be done! Not only will you feel accomplished, but your golf game will stay in check for when the warmer, lighter days arrive. 
Head Coach, Mark Gregson-Walters has put together some advice for surviving golf through the winter. From tips on how to mentally prepare through to physical exercises and the correct clothing.

At the centre of this dish is the hearty and versatile Aubergine. The mildly smoky flavour gives this delicate vegan dish a unique and distinctive taste. It’s easy to prepare in advance and is as pretty as a picture, so guaranteed to wow your dinner party guests.

Centurion Club, located on the outskirts of St Albans, Hertfordshire, played host to the European Tour's inaugural GolfSixes event May 6-7 2017, with both the venue and the format receiving rave reviews throughout the golfing world. 

Some of the most exciting talents in golf are set to take part in the innovative new GolfSixes event on the European Tour in May and, to celebrate that, the special advance ticket sale for the event at the Centurion Club to the north of London on May 6-7 has been extended by a further six days.

Robert Green visits Centurion Club St Albans Hertfordshire to experience the latest restaurant offering from the Galvin brothers, Galvin at Centurion Restaurant.

Rural Hertfordshire has yet to develop a reputation as a gastro hub. There are cosy country pubs serving good food and a smattering of smart hotels for those who like their dishes served on crisp linen. And lots of chain restaurants. So the news that Chris and Jeff Galvin are sprinkling a little Michelin-starred magic dust over the restaurant attached to a swish golf club just outside St Albans has caused much excitement among local food enthusiasts (of which, I admit, I am one) and, I imagine, those who enjoy a round of golf (not guilty, m'lud)

Restaurant at Centurion Club, St Albans Two of the UK's most esteemed restaurateurs, Chris and Jeff Galvin, have just launched their first venture in the Home Counties at the impressive Centurion Club. Just opened, Galvin at Centurion Club will showcase the classic cuisine and timeless dining experience for which the brothers are renowned.
