About this menuAround 260 bins. Glasses from £6. English sparkling and Champagne. Burgundy, Bordeaux and the Rhône in depth.

Two hundred and sixty bins, from a £6 glass of southern French white to first-growth Bordeaux and a shelf of Sassicaia. Burgundy and the Rhône in depth, English sparkling alongside Champagne, and a by-the-glass list long enough that you never have to commit to a bottle.

Glasses are poured at 125ml, 175ml and 250ml. Vintages change as bins run out; the team will tell you what has landed.

How the list is arrangedThe way you drink from it, not the way a wholesaler would file it

By the glass.

Everything on the first list is poured by the glass, the still wines in three sizes, so a table can drink across the list rather than around one bottle. Tasting notes are there because that is where you are choosing a single drink.

By the bottle.

Grouped by country, then by region. Burgundy, Bordeaux, the Rhône and Tuscany run deepest; there is serious Rioja, and more English wine than most lists on the mainland carry.

Ask us.

The cellar holds more than the list shows, and bins change as things sell out. If there is something you are after, or a budget you would like us to work to, say so and we will find it.

A few times a yearThirty-six guests in The Cellar

Wine evenings.

Seven courses, a five-wine flight and a guest host, for thirty-six guests in The Cellar. Announced to the list a month before they go public, and they have sold out every time.

Also downstairsPrivate dining for 8 to 36

The room behind the glass.

The two private dining rooms in The Cellar look directly into the wine room, and are named for two of the great vintages: The 1982 for 8 to 16 guests, The 1945 for 12 to 20. Menus and pairings are planned with the kitchen.

On selected dates, Thompson’s tasting menu is served in the same rooms, with a flight alongside it.

Before you order.

The questions the floor team are asked most. Anything else, call 01983 526118.

Can we bring our own wine?

We don’t operate a corkage policy as a rule. If you have a bottle with particular meaning, call us before your booking and we will see what we can do.

Do you serve wine by the glass?

Yes, extensively. Glasses are poured at 125ml, 175ml and 250ml across white, rosé and red, with sparkling at 125ml and dessert wines at 100ml, starting at £6.

Is there a sommelier?

The floor team know the list well and are glad to guide you, whether you are choosing a £30 bottle or something from the back of the cellar.

Do you have English wine?

Yes. Wiston Estate Brut and Rosé and Folc English Rosé are on the by-the-glass list, with more by the bottle. Island and English producers appear whenever they earn their place.

Can we pre-order wine for a private dinner?

Yes, and it is the easiest way to run a party. Agree the wines in advance with your menu for The Cellar, or a set amount per head with a bar tab afterwards.

Is the list on the page the current one?

Yes. This page is the live list; vintages change as bins sell out and the page is updated with them. A printed copy is on the table.

Pull up a stool.

The bar serves from 9am, until 10pm Thursday to Saturday and 5pm on Sundays, and the whole list is available by the glass or the bottle.
