The Hawks’ Clubhouse is located at 18 Portugal Place in Cambridge, which can be accessed using a membership card. 

The current Steward is Thomas Petty (CURUFC, 2024). As well as managing the clubhouse, he is reading a PhD in Psychology at Wolfson College.

The Clubhouse Rules, to which all members must abide, can be found in the document here.

On the ground floor is the Members’ Lounge, called the James H Van Alen Room, after the Hawk whose widow paid off the mortgage on the Clubhouse. It is traditionally furnished with leather Chesterfields. A small office opens off this room, while at the other end two built-in bookcases house various sporting books both current and historical, together with the Club’s election records. This room is a popular venue for private receptions. Most committee meetings take place in this room.

The basement Bar offers a selection of excellent light meals. A large flat-screen television in this room provides satellite coverage of all major sporting events. The bar itself is adorned with a number of silver tankards, purchased by former Club Presidents.

The first-floor Dining Room, with its splendid mahogany furniture, is available for private luncheons and dinner parties. It is used regularly for sports club dinners, and for lunchtime club tables. It has a seating capacity of 24, and may also be split in two for smaller but separate functions.

On the top floor, there is the Alan Burrough Room, named after a major benefactor, also known as the President’s Room. This comfortably seats eight and may be used for meetings.

Club dinners, private dinners and lounge bookings can be made through steward@hawksclub.co.uk. Further details and rules on club bookings can be found here.

Note that discounted prices are for resident Hawks & Ospreys only.
