Lounge & Bar

Our new oak-panelled bar in the lounge has been one of our latest additions, in keeping with the period of the house we have transformed a disused broom cupboard into our well stocked bar, we can serve you your pre-dinner aperitif, your well deserved G&T when you return from the fells and of course a fine Cognac, malt whisky or liquor to accompany your coffee at the end of the day.

A few things to say about our wine-list; we make two promises:

Firstly, every single bottle of wine carries the same mark-up. It doesn’t cost us any more to order, cellar, look-after and cork an everyday wine or a grand cru classe. What this means is the most expensive bottle on the list is actually the best value and probably only half what you would pay for it elsewhere. Pay a little bit more and see if you can taste the difference. We think you will.

Our second promise. If you don’t like the wine, send it back. Ask for another bottle. You won’t see it appear on your bill because we don’t want your meal to be spoilt by a bottle of wine you don’t like.

Last year we introduced a few organically-certified wines into our list. They have proved very popular and given our focus on purchasing locally-grown organic and free range food, it seems logical to extend this to the wines we offer. The lack of chemical pesticides used in their production and the consequent high-risk from disease that these wines (and their wine makers) potentially face, is inevitably reflected in their price. However, we think these wines all taste wonderful and do offer real value for money considering the environmental benefits my personal favourites are the Australian Cabernet Merlot and the Petit Chablis.
