Oliver Shah in the Sunday Times tells us Richard Sharp "is a regular at Oswald’s, a private members’ club in Mayfair, where he has dined with Nadhim Zahawi."
Opened in 2017, converted from the former MichaelJohn hair salon, it sits across the road from the Faraday Museum on Albemarle Street. The name comes from founder, Robin Birley’s royal portraitist grandfather, Sir Oswald Hornby Joseph Birley MC RA.
It boasts lounges, bar, wine cellar and a cigar terrace. Founding members may store and drink their own wines in the Club, and get online access to the records. Current head chef is Gianluca Cossu, born in Sardinia, charged with producing a 'wine-friendly menu'.
In 2019, Wine List Confidential described the club as "surprisingly boisterous", with tables often sending blind samples across to other tables, to test their wine knowledge. "A bibulous Nirvana for well-heeled oenophiles".
