Season 2, Episode 2: Matthew Rivett of the Oriental Club
Description
In this episode, during a brief raid into London during the Summer, Nick talks to Matthew Rivett, Secretary of one of the world's most prestigious Private Members' Clubs, the Oriental. Matthew tells of the difficulties facing a Members' Club which can't open to its Members; the quick thinking which has resulted in the incredibly successful Oriental Club Curry Express, which is currently delivering hundreds of grade A curries around the United Kingdom, direct from the Club kitchens (now available to non-Members). There's a ghost story or two, tales of walking the eerily quiet corridors of Stratford House during lockdown, what makes a gloriously-traditioned yet pioneering Club and what it takes to become a Member of the Club first founded by the Duke of Wellington. Happy New Year, folks.
