Home About Us The Kitchen Wine Contact Us

Wines We believe that good wine is as important at a Delicatessen as fine food. Often the two are best enjoyed together. We never tire of trying to source the most interesting wines which represent the best possible value for money. Even now, with an under-performing pound and a succession of chancellors penalising the wine enthusiast, it is possible to find wines which don't break the bank and still give great pleasure. One of our best sellers costs £5.75 a bottle and is so good that it won plaudits at last years Sommeliers Awards. We want to offer our customers the best possible service in terms of product knowledge, quality and value and make the process of buying wine an informative and enjoyable experience. Throughout the year, we are constantly sourcing new wines and now stock over 100 different bottles, all tried and tested. Newly added to our selection of some of our most popular wines, after a successful tasting on 24th October 2011, are 6 new wines from boutique vineyards which are highlighted in Red below:
