Wines
We have an excellent wine and champagne list and can usually source any particular wines you may require. However, if you prefer to bring your own wines we do have a corkage charge. In addition if you wish to run a bar we would be happy to do this and can also supply our own delicious ales on draught or in bottle.

Lovely beefy, juicy notes mixed with black cherry and scent of The Garrigue.
