Welcome to our wine list.
I personally have a great deal of fun putting this list together and then continually tinkering with it. Endless tasting eventually takes its toll and I find myself having to take sanctuary in a little something from the top shelf (it’s just the same with magazines). Wine is much less of a minefield than it was when we opened in 1993, I rarely see a poor wine these days and so the skill is now in deciding whether or not they represent value for money.
Wine is however most definitely a product that you really do mostly get what you pay for. This having been said, I’d be (and often am) more than happy to drink any of our house wines - well apart from the sweet one! Radically and for ease of under-standing we have made the price of our house wines all the same. So no more shocks when the bill has a £7.00 glass of Chardonnay!
In the restaurant you'll find two lists - our basic everyday wine list which is a decent selection of excellent quality value for money wines which you'll fnd below.
If you'd like to graze Humpty's Hiccups, our OFF-PISTE list for those of a more extreme persuasion who want to go off in search of something rather special, you can find it HERE....
Suffice to say that wines, prices and vintages DO change periodically.
Happy Quaffing!
