I adore this place. They have such a nice selection of wine and spirits and CHEESE and jams and pickles. The location is super pretty, and 100% worth the slightly spenny prices in my opinion
The establishment presents a rather unique combination of an off-license, a cheese shop, and a pub, which is certainly quite distinctive. Additionally, the premises unfortunately had a rather strong aroma of aged cheese. Furthermore, the prices were quite high, especially considering the location in Northampton, seeming more akin to those found in London, but in a less affluent area.
I have visited twice and each occasion I felt very welcome and at ease. I enjoy my whiskey and rum and was impressed to learn more (especially when I think myself as a connoisseur). That being said the owner is humble, welcoming and well.. French, which means I may be slightly biased but cannot downplay my personal experience. On my return visit I went with my partner just before midday and enjoyed some more of my favourite spirits with the guidance of another well travelled and knowledgeable staff member. I would recommend the whisky tasting which I personally haven't done yet but will do on another trip. I know there are cheeses and charcuterie which I am sure are nice but I cannot personally verify.
Visited with friends for a retro pudding evening presented by the Pudding hole, great fun and relaxed atmosphere with a large selection of beers on tap and lovely wines.
Had been on my list to visit for quite a while. Good meats and cheeses, and beer options. I'd love to come back for wine. Unfortunately the bread was a bit sad. Need a bit more effort to add accompaniments to the boards as other than the high quality meat and cheese they are a bit basic. Unfortunately we had much better similarly-priced boards elsewhere (not local, Hampshire) the following week which lowered my opinion of this place slightly.
Great place, cheeses, meats and the wines and spirits are brilliant. Just somewhere “good” to go in the centre without having to worry. Great idea and owner Florian and his wife are great “hosts”. The taster sessions also run there are great to attend (whisky tasting session done). Just 10:30pm comes round too soon!?!
This place is a hidden gem in Northampton ❤️ Excellent wine and delicious cheese boards! All the team are welcoming and friendly! They offer tasting nights and French classes too, just a breath of fresh air in Northampton.
Huge selection of beers, wines, spirits and more! Relaxed atmosphere. The staff are great, Helpful and friendly!
I have frequented this place multiple times since it has opened this year (2022), the selection of wine and beers is unparalleled in Northampton. I have also purchased some of their wines available in the shop, all of which were well received. I am looking forward to going to one of the many events that they host in-house for some speciality tastings! Thanks V&B, look forward to my next visit!
This is our second visit since opening! Brilliant venue to spend a Saturday afternoon or evening. The wine is spot on, reasonably priced. The ambience is great, the service is first class and the cheese boards are a taste of cheese heaven. Great new addition to Northampton. Excellent location.
