Recent refurbishment has transformed this popular basement wine bar, leaving it better looking & more spacious than before, with dramatic lighting illuminating its warren-like rooms & lovely brick arches.

The brassiere-style menu puts sharing platters, sandwiches & salads alongside a few more substantial mains - steak & kidney pudding, crayfish & salmon fishcakes with lemon mayo, or Lancashire cheese, sweet pepper & spinach tart.

The easy-to-follow wine list offers masses of choice by the glass, including a Château Léoube Provençal rosé at £6.25.
