“Just to say how much we all enjoyed our lunch at Temple today. The food was very tasty, very well presented and won praise from everyone – very well done Liam. And the service was excellent, winning similar plaudits from us all – very well done Francis. I will have no hesitation in recommending Temple as a venue to anyone seeking to hold a similar party.”
Bob Eagle – March 2018
“We very much enjoyed the Sunday lunch on 18th February. Lovely venue, dining room open appearing spacious, and served by the Temple staff…..how nice and super efficient everyone is!”
Nigel Kenyon (Member) – February 2018
“As Lynda and I said to you this morning we would like to put on record our gratitude and appreciation for how well we were looked after yesterday. As a member of Temple I am well aware of the professionalism and friendliness of the Temple team, but we were particularly touched by the enthusiasm of Liam and Francis during the planning of our lunch party. On the day the quality of the food, the attention to detail and the friendly help and support of both the kitchen and front of house teams could not have been bettered. All our 50 plus guests were full of compliments.Add to this the location and the great value on offer, we in Temple have something very special to enjoy. Thanks again to everyone.

Lynda and Paul Cazeaux – June 2018
“Apart from the weather (a minor consideration despite the incessant rain which gradually increased towards the end of the round) this was a great day. The course was fantastic and the greens were in great condition despite the rain. The Secretary and all the staff were very accommodating to the point that coffee and biscuits were delivered to the changing room after the round – a welcome sight to 15 bedraggled golfers. The meal and setting was one of the best we have enjoyed and it was unanimously agreed to come again in the summer when good weather could be anticipated!”
Richard Jones – The London Stationers GS – June 2019
“Thanks for everything yesterday – it could not have been better – and the day turned out to be most successful. I have received many murmurs of approval – both last evening and this morning by email – so, I suspect we shall be back again next year, if you’ll have us. I’ve thanked everyone at the Club individually – saw the bar staff last night and saw Liam this morning – the food was absolutely splendid and the service was great – got the balls from the Pro Shop and all was well. Thanks again for all – ciao.”
John Pagliero (Old Honitonians Golf Society) – September 2018
” We have received so many letters, emails and telephone calls saying how much you enjoyed my 80th birthday lunch that we believe it must have been a good party. We have to say, however, that many of the compliments were misdirected. Apart from our grandchildren for whom Temple can claim no credit, most of the plaudits should be addressed to the Golf Club. As a family, we were most impressed at the facilities and service provided by Temple. Francis and Liam and their staff could not have been more cooperative throughout the planning and the event. They ensured that everything went seamlessly and we are most grateful to them.”
Keith & Margot Whittle and family – June 2019
“We had a great evening recently when 25 of us sat down to a delicious dinner. With a choice of 4 dishes per course everyone was able to select their own dish which naturally meant a lot of preparation for each person as we all had different dishes!. It was all beautifully presented and very very tasty!! Well done Liam and team. We were very ably served and looked after all evening by Francis and his very attentive staff. We shall be back and I shall be grateful if you will convey our thanks and congratulations to all those concerned on the night.”
David de Bromhead (Dinner Organiser) – August 2018
“Thank you to Temple from everyone who felt the day had been good. The course was much enjoyed and everyone thought the greens were very impressive. The catering was excellent and the staff and service first class.”
Graham Pattie (The Wargrave First Thursday Club) – September 2018
“Please pass my thanks and congratulations to everyone who contributed to the Temple Children’s Xmas party on Saturday. My grandson Ethan had a whale of a time as did the rest of the children as far as I could see. No dramas, no tears, just a group of children (and adults) having a really good time. The format was just right allowing the kids to express themselves without getting carried away. Catering and service, as ever, very good.”
Ken Harris – December 2018
“Francis, I just wanted to say thank you for the Mother’s Day lunch last Sunday. Firstly for squeezing us in at the last minute but also for how welcome you made my parents feel. They really enjoyed the Temple experience – you put them entirely at ease and also delivered an exceptional service. In fact, my mum has already informed me that we will be attending again next year!”
