\n The club has previously provided in-house dining for members, but the new arrangement will make all three meals available to the public.\n<\/p>\n

\n David Whitehair, formerly chef at the Beeston Ploughshare pub, has started work to prepare the menu.\n<\/p>\n
\n Mr Whitehair, widely known as Scooby, was recommended by the partner of a golf club member. The club said he was taken on straight away after a meeting.\n<\/p>\n

\n A club spokesman said: “We are delighted to recruit the services of David as our new caterer for Dereham Golf Club.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We are looking forward to seeing the dining experience move to the next level.”\n<\/p>\n
\n As a self-employed caterer, Mr Whitehair will employ people to work at the restaurant, with the number of positions not yet confirmed.\n<\/p>\n
\n He said: “I am excited about the new challenge. It is bringing something new to the golf club, I am really looking forward to seeing how it goes.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I have been working in the area for about 30 years, so I know a lot of people who are looking forward to come and visit.”\n<\/p>\n

\n Members as well as the public will be able to visit the restaurant once it fully opens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dereham Gold Club is set to open a new restaurant for members and the wider public.
