Cocktails have taken a bit of a reputation battering in the last 20 years so we are claiming back their crown as the slick, suave and sophisticated drinks that they are. Think more Mad Men than The Only Way Is Essex. There are no Slippery Nipples to be seen on our menu, just a classic selection including “proper” Martini’s, Old Fashioned’s and Negroni’s

Nobody makes your Bloody Mary as well as you do. So come in and ease your way through the weekend with your favourite brunch sharpener, just how you like it. We give you the premium vodka, you add the tomato juice and decide on the rest from a frankly ridiculous range of sauces, seasonings and garnishes.
The Tuppenny Absinthe Fountain – Party like it’s 1899!
150 years ago, no hip bohemian hang out was complete without an absinthe fountain, so we are pleased to be able to bring you one, and dispel the myths surrounding this fine old spirit. Lengthened with iced water and sugar in this most traditional way, it becomes a deeply complex and satisfying drink. Definitely not for smashing back in shots. Sip. Savour. Smile. For 2-4 people at a time.
