Whimsy on wine
Do you know what’s complete tosh? When eateries say they spend a lot of time on their wine list. The truth: one merchant will supply all of their wine and will often write the list for them.
We want this to be one area where we really are radically better and for our guests to be able to discover new wines and wine areas. In summary, we:
- taste regularly with 8 merchants, each regionally specialised, the only way to have satisfactory variety and quality. We aim for a list of about 60 wines.
- have at least 7 people who take part in these tastings: it is not seen as the droit de proprietaire. Sadly.
- have taken wine exams. This doesn't mean we know more than our guests, but we can help and should know the wines we list.
- offer up to about 20 wines by the glass and, even better, by the carafe. Meaning you don’t have to compromise on which wines you choose.
- have always limited the profit we make on better wines so that all wines on our list are more or less affordable. So you can happily drink classed growth Claret for under £60 or Meursault for £50.

Take a bottle or two away
The wines you see on our list are very rarely seen in shops. In fact, if we see one of our wines in a supermarket, we usually delist it.
So if you have liked what you've drunk, we are happy to sell you any of our wines at a very reasonable price, usually just our cost price plus a pound or so. Brilliant if you’re staying nearby.
