Enjoy wine near you with Chef & Brewer
There's something about a glass of wine that just feels... special. It's a chance to relax after a long day, it's date night made all the more special, it's a quick catch-up that turns into lasting memories. And hey, we're not talking about any old plonk here; we're talking about quality wine near you curated for an exceptional drinking experience, whether you're lounging in the beer garden or tucking into a delicious pub meal. And the best part?
You don't need to be a qualified sommelier to appreciate excellent wine. Even if you're new to the colourful world of viniculture, our Chef & Brewer wine list will have you banging on about tannins, pairings and flavour profiles in no time.
From Chianti to Cabernet Sauvignon
Fabulous food pairings
Don't worry if you're not sure where to start – follow these basic principles and the next time you sit down for a delicious pub meal, your taste buds will be in for a treat:
Match and intensity - you don't want a wine or dish to overpower the other. If you're opting for something light, like our Crispy Squid starter, consider a light wine to go with it, like a chilled glass of Pinot Grigio.
Contrast richness - rich foods with lots of cream or cheese often benefit from high-acid, light-bodied wines like Sauvignon Blanc.
Match similar flavours - matching the flavours of your dish and wine creates delicious harmony. For example, earthy dishes, like our Mushroom & Ale Pie, deserve equally earthy wines, like Pinot Noir.
When in doubt, go neutral - balanced wines are a safe bet. Look for a medium-bodied sip with medium acidity and you should be good to go! Or, better yet, ask one of our lovely team members for recommendations!
Some of our favourite wines
So, we've established that we're pretty big fans of wine, so we thought it would only be fair to highlight a few of our favourite tipples. Whether you like your deep, velvety reds or your crisp, refreshing whites, there's bound to be a glass of something special on the list that takes your fancy.

Punto de Vista Sauvignon Blanc – Chile
A fruity little number with flavours of fresh grapefruit and lime, followed by green gooseberry and melon. This Chilean, vegan-friendly wine offers a fresh, zesty drinking experience, perfect for enjoying on its own or alongside something light, like our Whipped Goat's Cheese starter.

Chardonnay is always a crowd-pleaser, and this South African wine is medium-bodied, smooth and creamy with vibrant tropical fruit, peach, and citrus notes, making it elegant and perfectly balanced.
