Ham Polo Club

Attended a PR event here recently to taste and learn about Argentinian wine makers Terrazas de los Andes and sister vineyard Cheval de los Andes — grown just in the foothills on the Argentina side of the Andes mountains. The tasting took place in half of the main clubhouse, under a canopy of mature grape vines bearing fruit! I imagine this would be a beautiful venue for weddings or special events. This restaurant and bar area has glass down both sides overlooking each of the polo fields.
Amazing wine was paired with a polo theme, hence the Polo Club setting, before a barbeque put on by Gaucho restaurants to showcase Argentinian food. What a great afternoon! As I chowed down on sublime steak and salads my fellow guests and I watched polo prowess unfurl before us.
The venue isn’t easy to find as there’s not much public transport after Richmond, but it’s well worth the trouble to get there. Would love to go back on a sunny Saturday next summer and lounge about like I should be there all the time!

On a sunny Sunday afternoon there’s nothing better than driving down here and having a picnic on the grass while you watch the polo. There’s a really friendly atmosphere and it’s a great sport to watch — just be prepared to duck a ball occasionally! I think admission is still 10 pounds per car and 2 pounds per pedestrian, making it a great value day out in London.
