An evening at the front row
Oak panelling, a West Country ale, the second half, the table still set.
The Clubhouse
Three rooms, one evening
Phrontrow holds three rooms under one Georgian roof. The main Clubhouse — oak panelling, framed shirts, match-day programmes — is where the broadcast lives. The Salon-bar is warmer and informal: cocktails, English sparkling, cask ales and cider. The Private Snug is reserved for small gatherings of 8–14. From the first whistle to the last coffee.

Matchday
From tip-off to final whistle
Our matchday is structured around the game. Early seating, a pre-match programme, live broadcast across four calibrated screens (three primary, one secondary), a half-time kitchen rush, and a post-match captain's tea when the second half is done.
Gallagher Premiership live every Saturday. Doors open from noon for the pre-match programme; kick-off at 15:00 or 17:30. The matchday menu serves in under 12 minutes, and half-time service clears for the second half.
Six Nations fixtures live across February and March — Saturday and Sunday kick-offs. A warm welcome to visiting supporters from Wales, Ireland, France and Scotland, with a themed menu rotation matched to the weekend's fixture.
Investec Champions Cup weekday evenings, November Autumn Internationals on Saturday afternoons, and summer tours when the clubhouse is open. European-supporter menu themes on Champions Cup nights.

Supporters say
Saturday afternoons at Phrontrow have become part of my routine. The screens are calibrated, the Sunday roast is properly done, the front bar never gets loud enough to drown out the second half.
Bath season-ticket holder
I booked the Snug for a client's birthday. Everything was arranged — menu, wines, a dedicated host who knew the fixture list and politely steered us to the best seats.
Private event organiser, London
I travelled up from Cardiff for the England–Wales weekend. Found the clubhouse by accident. Returned on Sunday for the roast. Both times treated like a regular.
