Wine List

We follow three criteria in choosing our wines: they must be delicious, they must work with our food and they must be good value.

All our starters, mains and desserts are matched with wine and we usually offer the best matches by the glass. If the best match is not available by the glass, we will show the best match by the glass first, then the best overall match (by the bottle) second.

We also offer some exceptionally good value wines from our suppliers in a section of Bin Ends. While these wines are not matched, please ask our staff if you have any questions.

Champagne & Sparkling

Good quality sparkling wine shouldn’t be saved just for special occasions, there’s something about it that works particularly well with Indian spicing.

Prosecco Spumante, Ca Morlin

Clean and dry style old school Prosecco with a crisp finish

37.25

Prosecco Cuvée 1821 D.O.C, Zonin

This super clean and crisp Prosecco purely from 100% Glera. Touch of green apple and lime on the palate with a delicate mousse

This wine is complex, with very fine bubbles, a creamy mouth-feel, flavours of raspberry, strawberries, some hazelnut notes and a long finish

59.50

Champagne Brut Premier, Louis Roederer NV

A pale golden colour, delicate with a complex tone. Rich yet subtle bouquet with hints of hawthorn, almonds and toast. Clean finish with a creamy structure

69.95

Rosé

We’ve chosen three very different styles of Rosé, all of which make good food partners as well as working nicely as an aperitif wine.

Monastrell Rosado, Castaño 2021, Yecla, Spain

Spicy red fruit and cherry on nose with a clean, soft dry finish

29.95

Chateau Beaulieu Rosé, Coteaux d'Aix-en 2021, Provence, France

Delicate blend of Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah, wild strawberry character with hint of sweet spice, and a clean, soft finish

7.50 / 35.75

White

Crisp & Dry

These wines all have refreshing acidity and tend to be weightier and richer as you move down the list. They will make a happy marriage with fish and seafood in particular.

Cotes de Gascogne, Domaine de Saint Lannes 2021, France

Crisp and clean as a whistle, like delicate Sauvignon Blanc

6.50 / 31.95

Assyrtiko, Ktima Kir-Yianni 2021, Macedonia, Greece

32.95

Pinot Grigio, Gasper 2021, Goriška Brda, Slovenia

Aromatic, mineral expression with white flowers, fresh almond and touch of green citrus on palate with a zesty fruity clean finish

32.25

Chablis AOC 2021 Pierre et Alexandre Ellevin

Notes of peach and apricot, underpinned by a mineral structure. In the mouth, a stony sensation complements this pure, rounded wine

40.50

Soft & Fruity

We found that these wines, although mostly on the dry side, are softer and with their more pronounced fruitiness make very versatile partners for spicy dishes of all types.

Sauvignon Blanc, Kim Crawford Marlborough 2021, New Zealand

7.75 / 37.25

Rich & Fat

These wines are glycerine-rich and so have noticeable ‘legs’. They are also packed with aromatics and this makes them ideal partners for richer, weightier dishes like poultry and meat from the tandoor.
