I ...Sorry, I wasn't clear in my above comment. I meant that apart from being "a solid British eatery serving familiar dishes for not very much money", the wines on offer are one of the selling points of the place.<br /><br />Even someone really ignorant about wine like me (I just down anything and everything) can tell that it's special to have (for example) the following wines by the glass - 1944 Rivesaltes, (last week) Margaux etc. The wine list is interesting and reasonably priced too.

The seats in the wine bar are fine, though perhaps I have a more amply padded backside than you. <br /><br />Shame you didn't try any of the seafood; they were my favourite dishes when I went.
