WINE LIST We are delighted to offer to you our updated wine list for the Spring/Summer season which we are sure you will find interesting. We have added several new wines to the list including a fantastic English Bacchus from New Hall Vineyards in Essex and three new Rosé wines which make for perfect summer drinking! We also have a multi award winning Argentinian Malbec harvested 1300m above sea level and a rich and spicy Shiraz from Berton Vineyards in South East Australia which is simply bursting with fruit! We have increased the number of vegan wines in our range, and we have continued to source low sulphur wines in response to the concerns about the level of sulphites used in winemaking. As a result of this we have two very exciting new organic sulphur free ‘Prima Nature’ wines from Gerard Bertrand: an award winning Languedoc producer in the South of France. This fresh and elegant Chardonnay and smooth and fruity Syrah are both available by the glass! Please refer to our drinking guide below to assist in your choice of wine or please speak to member of the dining room staff.

Should a particular vintage become exhausted we will endeavour to offer the next best available vintage. Unless specified full bottles are served as 750ml.
