Our wine list is carefully selected, and offers a wide selection of bottles from both the old and new world. Each bottle has been chosen for its own merits, and all are an excellent accompaniment to our menu. Like our menu, we aim to alter our list throughout the year, so winter can be seen to offer more juice, warming red, or a rich, buttery white; whilst during the summer months we have crisp, dry whites, soft light reds, and sumptuous rosés.

Whilst we try to cover all areas of the world and grape varieties, we cannot cover all bases, so if there’s something that you would like to enjoy during your time with us, we will try our best to source it for you. We do require about 10 days notice for this, as sometimes we have to allow time for our suppliers to ship the bottles from the country of origin before delivery to us. A deposit for this service is required, which is of course redeemable against your reservation. Should you require this service, please ask to speak to Louise or Nicola, who will handle all your needs.
