We're delighted to announce that our shop tastings start again next week! We're kicking things off with an in depth look at the remarkable, and somewhat undervalued wines of Jerez. Why not join us on Thursday 22nd February as we taste our way from the bone dry to the lusciously sweet styles of sherries.

Sadly we’ve been beaten by the weather two weeks in a row! With 30+ MPH gusts and thunderstorms forecast for this afternoon we have decided to cancel Pizza Night this week. Fingers crossed next weeks mini heatwave materialises and we’ll be back serving delicious wood fired pizzas and cracking wines next Wednesday.
