While the wine selection at this establishment is truly fantastic and the ambiance of the place is delightful, I was somewhat disappointed by the steep corkage fee of £10 imposed on top of the bottle price.

In the evenings the shop serves wine by the glass (a generous serving and reasonably priced), or corkage for a bottle purchased from the shop.

You can bring your own food to eat, but my husband and I like to go on Thursday evenings when the Steak & Honour van is nearby, and you can eat a burger along...
