This was our first visit to an English winery and our first tasting of English still wines so…read morenaturally were very excited to see and try them. The winery is located in a beautiful countryside town and/or is also just 15 minutes away from the train station. Upon arrival, you see the vineyards and cute tasting room. Chris and David, owners, meet you and take you in a tour and taste you through their wines. The three still wines they are serving are stunning, well structured, aromatic wines that you can drink, pair food with or age. They also pour some of their neighbors' sparkling wines, all of which are also top notch. The winery, vineyard, tasting room and owners are top notch and a must visit. You will not be let down.

The Wine Tasting Shop offers a quality wine tasting experience for an affordable price! I was…read morehighly impressed by the tasting experience and recommend it to anyone in the London area. I attended my tasting on a Wednesday afternoon. This particular tasting was a BYOB (bring your own baby)! It was an awesome opportunity for moms to get together with their babies, de stress from motherhood over a couple glasses of wine. I however, did not have a baby (as I was solo traveling) and was welcomed widely by the staff and all the moms. I even got to hold a few babies lol. This tasting was extremely affordable we were offered 4 wines throughout the 3 hours as well as small bites for £25 . The staff were extremely extremely knowledgeable and true experts at their craft. They talked extensively about the wines, their origin, ways to pair, fermentation and more! Their passion really allowed for a good experience. As a solo traveler in London looking for a fun midday midweek activity I was left extremely impressed and happy! Highly recommend.

So far so good. The…read moreWine Tasting Shop emphasizes try before you buy but they do charge 50p a try. I've only been in there once but the wine they recommended for our pasta was rich and the perfect compliment. The staff (I've only met one but she talks very personally and highly of the owner too) really know their wine and are proper extroverts. They'll recite a novel for you on their wine selection so you can find exactly what you're looking for. They really pride themselves on vintage wines. They have done a great job of networking with and seeking out very unique, kind of "indie" wines. One of the coolest things about this shop, and something I have yet to experience, are their wine tasting events. Occasionally they will invite a wine maker to promote his wine and offer free tasting. For a list of their events, visit: http://www.thewinetastingshop.co.uk/calendar I can't wait to attend one and after I do I'll be sure to give an update to this review.

The cheese plate featured an orange cheese that was tasteless. The blue was lovely. I ordered charred lettuce and it was sopping wet and over cooked. The artichoke hearts were salty and presented with too much sauce and were so charred that they were tough and difficult to eat. I'm usually not a fan of these restaurants where you order via app. Not sure the quality had anything to do with that. But it is nearby our hotel and easy.

I like the concept of grabbing your own wine, grabbing some small plates and hanging out. There are tons of wines to choose from, even a good selection from France. My cousin from Switzerland recommended some French wines and I enjoyed everything, especially the malbec. My favorite food item was the hangar steak share plate. It was an epic plate with tons of meats and more foods. The place itself has a cool ambience and vibe. Staff was generally friendly but they seemed to prefer regulars.

Well, I'm really "digging" the interior of this store - you actually feel like you're being transported back several hundred years; which actually is quite true, as this store has been around for a very very long time! Anyway, what I kind of disliked, was that the person who got my order ready, was quite a snob - very uptight British and made me feel as if I wasn't a worth customer. (Maybe he didn't approve of me coming into such a posh store with a hooded sweater?) Also, their website is really awful: I was trying to find out, where the store would be, but the website is impossible to maneuver through. It's all online selling, but there's no apparent link that will point you to where the actual store is! Well, thanks to Yelp I actually found it! So, three stars for this experience, but I might just come back another day again, as their selection of wines is incredible!

Tip: You must visit this food hall. It's awesome!…read more You know what? When there's a listing for a department store food hall, you know that it's good. No, not good. Fantastic! I was at this food hall in December 2013. It's located on the ground floor of this large department store. The displays are extremely fancy and captivating. I recall seeing mini cakes that looked yummy. Even the fruit in the display case, as in apples, pears, and more, looked amazing and in pristine condition. The pastries looked scrumptious. I could smell the croissants! You can get sandwiches, from egg salad to lobster rolls. Feel like steak and chips? Yep, you can get them here, too. I frankly couldn't tell you what you can't get here. I felt like a dream seeing so much good food, but it wasn't. It's definitely worth a visit, whether you end up browsing like me because the prices were steep or you end up splurging. There was a wine section that had shiny bottles of fancy wine varieties. You could get cheese to complement your wine. Everything in this store looked beautiful and elegant. I would do a few things differently when I return to this food hall: - I'd do afternoon tea. I'd actually splurge to experience tea here because I didn't realize that I could until after my Harrods visit. - I'd find a hotel room with a fridge, so I could bring back pastries, macarons, sandwiches, and more. - I'd dine here to experience the entire food hall experience instead of dining at a restaurant within Harrods. The more I reminisce about where I've been in London, I want to return! (55)

I like the idea of their food hall. It's super big variety of all kind of foods. Really was…read moreinteresting to see all of that inside of Harrods. I decided to take the most expensive sandwich- lobster roll on brioche bread. Ops sorry I'm lying, wagyu was more expensive but it was looking way dead. So lobster roll was super dry, small piece of lobster on the top wasn't that good, if to be honest he was close to be spoiled. And inside of my sandwich it was an egg salad with small tiny lobster parts. Brioche bread was old. Honestly I'm happy that I received this experience, I will remember that forever : ) will I recommend to go there - YES No seats are available so just figure out where you will eat that overpriced food

On weekdays they do happy hour from 5-7 pm and their cocktails and wines are really cheap during this. We ordered an Aperol Spritz first and then moved on to white wine which all tasted good.

So even if you go for just one glass of wine keep that in mind!
