Exclusive Members Clubs are part of the fabric of Palm Beach. Gaining membership of institutions such as The Everglades, The Beach Club and Mar-a-Lago is a bridge too far for most and patience and good connections are key. It is not a money thing, because those without resources would not be in the vicinity anyway.

A new club came to the heart of Palm Beach recently called Carriage House. It was unusual in that gaining membership did not afford access to golf, tennis, pickleball or even a swimming pool with lunchtime dining. The sport is in the cocktail bar.

I was invited by some kind members before Christmas and it struck me as a very promising concept. There is unity in the sartorial elegance but a whiff of revelry to the whole place.

We are very grateful to the owners of Carriage House for allowing us to film in their bar.We recognise that this access is not normally accorded to non-members, be they human or canine.
