You may also choose from the 1000 or so wines in the shop. We can chill whites on ice in a few minutes, or choose from the wine fridge.

The difference between retail and bar price is £10 per 75cl bottle, which is around a half the difference in a typical London wine bar.

We hope such keen bottle pricing encourages you to explore and enjoy our wide range, plus of course we can subsidise prices somewhat as the bar is sharing overhead with the retail business.

Table Service - please order and pay at your table, not at the counter, thanks
