wine
We are a very small, family owned and run, independent restaurant and bar, set in a beautiful, thatched 16th century cottage in the middle of Quorn.
Conversation, good food, a classic and quirky drinks lists, a ghost and some cracking wines await.
We look forward to seeing you soon.

Simon has always had an interest in wine and over the last 12 years, he has compiled and supported commercial and specialised wine lists for outlets as varied as JD Wetherspoon, Accor Hotels, Turtle Bay and the original bad boy of British cooking, Marco Pierre White.
We trust you will enjoy our hand picked selection of wines, and if you'd like to enquire about a private wine event or attend one of our tasting sessions, you can contact us here.
Our brand new list launches on the 25th July. A balanced offering, celebrating traditional and modern wine styles, upcoming, as well as established wine regions; a wide range of grape varieties - some well known, others more obscure - exciting new winemakers and much more......

simon is available to do private wine tastings as part of your time with us - prices start from 30pp, including wine.
“As a certified WSET educator and Diploma holder, I've been lucky enough to run countless wine courses for both people in the trade and wine lovers who just want to know a bit more about what they're drinking.
In the wrong hands, wine can be a critically boring subject and it's important, I believe, to adopt a no bollocks approach and inject some colour, humour and life into what really is a fascinating drink.
I also do tastings and after dinner Q and A's at large corporate and private events, most recently with Marco Pierre White and Blur turned Cheesemaker, Alex James”.
