We have secured a prominent site opposite the station to create a deli & wine bar with a focus on French, Italian & Spanish produce. Mornings will start with a brisk service of coffees and baked goods for people travelling to the office, before it settles into the morning trade of speciality meats, cheeses & deli items which are so lacking for the local community. Lunchtimes consist of takeaway sandwiches & salads curated by our kitchen team using the best ingredients from our deli, before settling back into our afternoon retail trade. From weds-sat at 5pm, the lights are dimmed and the candles come out for our evening wine bar service.
