Wine Bar List

Welcome to the English Wine Bar 2023. This year we are delighted to offer a selection of exclusively English wines from ten different vineyards.
A varied choice of white, rose, red, sparkling, white, pink and a small selection of Dealcoholised wines. It is one of the best selections of English wines you will find locally.
We like to have something new for our customers to try and this year we are pleased to have a selection of local meads from Iceni Meadery.
Not all the wines in the programme will be available at all times but we aim to have a good selection.
The Wine Bar will also stock lemonade and sparkling water should you wish to have a spritzer.
