The 30 Best Cider pairing in London

“My experience was online and I visited their website yesterday evening to purchase a bottle as a gift. Placing an order was very easy to do and it was great to see that there was a local delivery option available too which I took advantage of. Received a phone call this morning confirming my order and to arrange delivery for a time which was suitable to me. I opted anytime today and loved the fact it got delivered within the hour. Absolutely great service from Jonathan who promptly delivered my wine to the doorstep with a smile. Will definitely return and consider Banstead Vintners as my first port of call for wine purchases in the future. Prices were competitive for the wine I was after, so I'm really pleased with the experience overall.”

“Visiting from SE London and meeting up with a friend and this is one of the friendliest bars I’ve ever visited. Owners introduced themselves on entry and table service ensued with great discussion around the beers available. A small range of lovely Belgian beers was available this weekend and thoroughly enjoyed. Can’t fault this place in any way.”

“Love this place, great beer from knowledgeable staff in a great setting, also dog friendly and you can order local pizzas, what’s not to like? Will be back for more soon.”

“They have a good range of Davidoff and new world cigars with a wide selections of spirits and wines…”

“Good local shop. Open every day till late”

“I had my eye on visiting this place for a while as it’s not far from home. I love craft beer. The gentleman at store was very knowledgeable about all the beers in the store. I told him what sort of beers I liked & he selected a bunch for me to try. I liked all the beers he recommended! Also, if you live within a certain radius of the store they will deliver for free for minimum order of £35.”

“Great little bar/bottle shop. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Great range of interesting beers, wines and other drinks. Excellent beers on tap. Highly recommended if you’re in the area.”

“Fab range of beers, including local ones, as well as lovely wine selection. The staff are super helpful if you're looking for something specific or for introducing you to new beers to try. I've got a friend that's gluten free and they stock GF beers as well which is great”

“This is a great addition to Forest Hill. A smallish craft beer shop with friendly staff who really know their way round a bottle or two. Prices are pretty reasonable given the quality of the produce and the growlers always offer a decent beer for a good price with the advantage of an ever changing line up. Note that they also stock a decent selection of wine and spirits too and they often have a taster bottle open of an evening. A well run shop which is busy burrowing into the fabric of local life.”

“Superb local craft beer micropub. Has a constantly changing mix of craft and keg beers ales and ciders.”

“I will definitely be a returning customer my dog felt happy and safe straight away and he came out sparkling clean beautiful cut nails and so happy ! He’s an old boy with the heart of a puppy he was so happy”

“Is this the future of the British pub? I hope so! It's hard to find such a huge collection of ales and ciders anywhere in the UK. It's quite spacious for a 'micro', with plenty of seating and standing room. Very handy for Hornchurch FC on match days. Excellent!”

“I frequented this shop for most of my visit in Egham. Great service and very friendly staff. The selection is great and the prices are very reasonable. Thank you guys!”

“I ordered 6 bottles of wine on 23rd December knowing I was unlikely to receive by Christmas but hoping for New Year. Tim offered to drop the wine off that evening, even though I do not live close to Cobham. I did not notice his email. But the wine still arrived by courier on Christmas Eve morning, only 18 hours from ordering. For a small company I think that’s wonderful. Above and beyond expectation.”

“lovely place to head to, great selection of wines, super helpful folks in there and feel really grateful to have it on our doorstep x”

“This is everything you want from a steakhouse. Buzzing atmosphere, no bells and whistles, great staff, corkage and above all, top notch scran! The front-of-house lady was welcoming and warm. Our waiter for the evening, Phil, was fantastic all evening. The pigs head on toast was a nice warm up for the pallette, reminiscent of tender pulled pork and drizzled in that delightful Blacklock gravy. We brought a bottle 2018 Berry Bros and Rudd Zinfandel along with us (highly recommended with steak) and it was the cherry on top of our evening. The T-Bone chop was very nice. Although a little on the fatty side, it was cooked beautifully and tasted fresh. The grilled baby gems in anchovie dripping were quite nice but had a little fishy taste to it. The showstopper was the 600g prime rib steak. It was perfectly cooked and seasoned, juicy, tender, and didnt even need a sauce. The green sauce and Blacklock gravy were fantastic sauces however. The chips were spot on, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Yes the cheesecake is absolutely the go-to dessert here and it deserves such acclaim.”

“Fabulous first visit to the monthly brunch sessions on 1st Saturday of each month. Absolutely cracking. A great range on the brunch menu without being overwhelming, good choices and lovely selection of sides/extras. Enjoyed a beautifully presented plate of food that was amazing value for money! Also, try a brunch cocktail, or enjoy with juice or a cuppa. Or a pint! But do go and try. Staff super friendly and helpful but not intrusive. Lovely atmosphere and surroundings, a warm hubbub of chat, a really chilled atmosphere for a good feed after a big night out, a catch up with friends/family/neighbours or colleagues. A local for more than just locals. Dog friendly, family friendly. Just really friendly. Brilliant!!”

“Great customer service, always very helpful and have a great range of products”

“Great service greated straight away! Very helpful advice from Felix as we wasnt sure what we wanted he talked us through various options with a few samples. We will be back to make our wedding order with you for sure!”

“Great experience wine tasting with my partner and some friends and family for our first wedding next year! Ryan and James were really friendly and there were options laid out for us ready to go when we arrived. Ryan led us through the tasting expertly and was able to answer all of our questions. We were able to purchase great red, rose, white and prosecco options for the big day. Would definitely recommend!”

“The guy on the till is always helpful and cheerful. A nice convenience store on the side of the street which is open till late at night. The owner is always happy to help. Can’t recommend enough!”

“Off licence with a small amount of groceries etc, although a little pricey but convenient. Very friendly staff who showed me how to use the Evri collection/ drop off box.”

“We had a birthday meal at Franco Manca last night and it was fantastic. Firstly we'd booked for too few and they accommodated us very kindly, food was fast and delicious and our waiter was extremely attentive. I also asked (last minute) for a Tiramisu with a candle in for the birthday host and it was catered for no questions asked. The whole restaurant sang with us, and we were given free limoncello shots for the table (11 of us), and an additional free tiramisu. Was such a fun evening and we felt so welcome. Thank you!!”

“Very nice pub with good atmosphere and great good value food. Brilliant barn at the back for performances. Also lots of parking and beer garden at the back”

“Great wine and spirit selection and service! Definitely revisiting”

“Brilliant old east end pub full of locals who were welcoming. Staff were really helpful and thoughtful to bring us all extra ice to our table. Very busy on Saturdays due to market.”

“Ali is the best host ever. He really makes everyone welcome and makes the evening magical. This place is an asset to.the community and Ali brings us all together.”

“Best selection of sweets, cola bottles, mushrooms, spaceships and so much more!!”
