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.

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

39.25

Prosecco Cuvée 1821 D.O.C, Zonin

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

89.95

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.

Attractive fragrant of wild strawberries and red cherries with a pale pink in colour, lovely juicy, zesty finish on the palate

6.75 / 31.50

39.75

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 2023, France

Crisp and clean as a whistle, like delicate Sauvignon Blanc

6.75 / 31.95

Chablis AOC 2022 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

42.75

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.
