We just love hearing your feedback! The lovely popped by for a visit, heres what she had to say about her time with us 🤗

"Finally had a chance to pop into my new local(ish) wine bar

A glass of refreshing Crêmant to start - lovely on a summer’s evening. Followed swiftly by a glass of the iconic Chardonnay, and a cheeky Viognier too.

I was very happy to see they also had one of my favourite whites from South Africa on the shelves ⬅️ old vine white blend is just *chefs kiss*

Looking forward to visiting them for a tasting soon. Also, those cheese boards looked yum!"
