Our Favourite Merchants
Our relationship with a wine merchant is driven by its brilliance in its own area. We love talking to them and drinking with them. Most of them sell to the public so do visit their websites.
Astrum Winecellars
Vinetrail
Fingal Rock Wines
Gauntleys
Raymond Reynolds
Ballantynes
OW Loeb
Fields Morris & Verdin

Whimsy on wine
The myth:
a restaurant which says it spends much time choosing its wine list.
The truth:
one merchant will supply all of their wine and will sometimes write their list for them.
To justify a mark up (or, rather, because we love it) we try to make wine an area where we are radically better. We want our guests to discover new wines and wine areas.
- We taste with a handful of merchants, each regionally specialised, the only way to achieve variety and quality.
- We have 4 or 5 people who take part in these regular tastings: it is not seen as the droit de proprietaire. Sadly.
- Most of us have taken wine exams. This doesn't mean we know more than our guests, but we can help and should know the wines we list.
- We offer up to about 20 wines by 125ml and 175ml glass sizes and, even better, by the carafe. Meaning you don’t have to compromise on which wines you choose.
- We have always limited the profit we make on better wines so that all wines on our list are more affordable.

Take a bottle or two away
The wines you see on our list are very rarely seen in shops. In fact, if we see one of our wines in a supermarket, we usually delist it.
So if you have liked what you've drunk, we are more than happy to sell you any of our wines at a very reasonable price, usually just our cost price plus a pound or so of mark-up. Brilliant if you’re staying nearby.
