There is history here, the site having served as a wine cellar for over 150 years, most recently as Oddbin’s fine wine store.During the day the vaults serve as our office, warehouse and tasting room, as well as shop where the general public can buy our wines. At night it becomes a beautiful, atmospheric, candle-lit wine bar.In the bar we charge £14 corkage on the retail price, except between 12 and 4pm where no corkage is charged. Our list is ever changing, not only showing wines that we import ourselves but also wines that we have tasted and are passionate for, supplied from fellow importers. We also offer a small amount of old Bordeaux, Burgundy, Port and Madeira from our private cellars.

    Lovely evening , friendly service and a lovely gluten free menu which actually makes you feel like you have similar range of choices as the main menu. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because I ordered a gluten free pasta and the pasta was not cooked so was too hard to chew. Waitress dealt with it straight away with apologies but it did mean that my friend had nearly finished her meal by the time mine was ready done. Not a huge issue and would definitely visit again! Thanks for a lovely meal and a great evening!

    The table could’ve been better positioned- we were a table of 4 seated in the middle of the restaurant. There were plenty of other better positioned tables that we could’ve been seated at

    A hidden gem in the heart of the city! We came for a family meal (2 children, 3 adults) on an early Saturday evening and were treated like royalty. The service was exceptionally attentive, always there but never too close. The food was some of the best Indian we have ever had, and the portions incredibly generous. As we left in a hurry to catch the train, they offered to wrap the rest of our food up which was gratefully received. The leftovers were as good as the restaurant served thing! The children were never an inconvenience, but treated like the rest of us which made for a stress free experience. As we left the restaurant got busier and busier with people and groups coming as walk-ins and bookings alike. We couldn't recommend this restaurant anymore. It made a perfect end to a lovely day. Thank you!
