The Spectator Recensioni 

My first Spectator event ( theme English Wines).I felt most welcome - Jonny Ray convivial host - invited excellent Speaker Henry Jeffreys presented his book 'Vines in a cold Climate' -he also choose the English Wines matched to delicious courses.Not only enjoyed the lunch but came away with some new knowledge.Have shared Henry's book with others- cracking read.Wonderful location and good company. I will look out for another event .

I have not attended a Spectator lunch since before Covid, but I was delighted to see that the standard has not fallen in the slightest.
Henry Jeffreys was an entertaining speaker and delightfully incorrect. The wines we tasted and the food were superb.
I look forward to my next visit.

Went to the Spectator lunch for Chateau Angludet and found it incredible! Very good company and a good lunch. But the wines were amazing and the speaker from the Sichel family excellent. I ordered a case of magnums the next day!

Good venue good company good speakers and great wine! Couldn’t fault the day. Thank you.

Another amazing Spectator Wine Club event!
Very much enjoyed by me and my guest.

This was a super day on the river, on a fantastic boat, great crew, entertainment, food and wines. The shooting experience and wine producers and experts made a memorable day out. The only negative was joining, meet and greet, where I feel many of us had been left uncertain as to where to go and whether we had arrived at the right place.

The Clays, Cognac and Claret Cruise down the Thames, can't be beat either for pure enjoyment or the uniqueness of the setting. Add first class wines and an excellent meal and company - and one could not ask for more.

In a wine experience that was new to us The Spectator rank all the right bells with an excellent speaker and a congenial audience. We'll be joining them again.

IF I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS OR MINUS STARS I WOULD DO SO
Looking at the positive reviews I see most involve party events.. the negative reviews are similar to my experience.
I cancelled my free trial on 8th August... on 15th August - seven days later - the next month's payment was taken. I phoned customer services and was promised a refund (this was also promised in the email I received on 8th August confirming my cancellation).
Three weeks later I have still not received my refund.
This is completely unacceptable and I have raised a formal complaint... albeit via the standard 'contact us' function as there is no option to raise a complaint, which speaks volumes.

It was a wonderful lunch and the quality of the wines being served were outstanding. It was also a real pleasure to listen to Jonathan Maltus talk about his life, career in wine and the wines he and his team had produced.

Speccie Wine Club lunches are always great fun. Good wines, interesting company and a great setting. This, as ever, met the mark with excellent hosting for Jonny Ray and interesting words and wines from Jonathan Maltus

A cracking location, a friendly and sociable group of people, very well hosted by Jonathan Ray and an interesting and informative guide through the wines by Jonathan Maltus. His wines were excellent. The afternoon was rounded off by diving into a pub around the corner after the event had finished. Not a bad afternoon at all.

A great summer afternoon spent with good company in a pleasant garden. An opportunity to speak and chat with good quality writers, cartoonists and fellow readers of the Spectator in a very relaxed environment.

The Spectator tea party was an excellent event. The opportunity to meet not only the journalists, but also the marketing and digital media staff was extremely valuable. The supply of drinks and the entertaining failed rounded off a superb afternoon.

Fab night.

First one ever. I now realise its worth arriving a bit earlier as the starter wines are served and there's good chat!!

I felt welcomed and appreciated as a Spectator subscriber. Thank you to the editors, writers, illustrators, administrators and columnists.

Excellent company. Very generous hospitality. Delightful and friendly journalists and a superb setting in the garden. A perfect afternoon.

The Spectator may not be the best brand and best magazine in the world - but it's in the top one.

A lovely venue,a chance to have interesting chats with Spectator journalists and subscribers and good gin!

Beware of this company.
Cancelled months and months ago. They just keep making fraudulent charges against my card. Every month I lodge a dispute with my bank, the charge gets reversed and the following month they charge my card again. Avoid at all costs.
