My favourite type of place of all has to be places which are a mishmash of different things - and they're doing a great job of it here.
The front of the shop is small but has a large selection of great looking wines, and actually a good selection of craft beer too - some common favourites but also a few I hadn't seen anywhere before. You can also takeaway wine in a refillable bottle for £6 which is cheap & cheerful out of the box wine, there's something about filling up a refillable bottle and taking it home which somehow feels so much more fun than just buying a bottle that can be drunk now or saved for years! Who knows, maybe it's the obligation of having to drink it then and there which makes it feel somehow special - ,even when it's the cheapest wine in the shop!
The back then is the wine bar, which is exactly that in that there's a bar and they serve wine. But it's not a wine bar in the trendy glitzy sense that usually comes to mind! You can also get coffee of course, I tried a croissant which was ok but not fresh.
From the fridge at the front there's a few deli things like cheese and meat, and happily also a few beers so you can get them cold!
Overall it's a great addition to the area and brilliant that they're so adventurous with what's essentially a little shop on a high street!
