Artisan cheese and bread adds to the appeal to making this a one-stop shop for the perfect ingredients to make that dinner party even more special. Wined up here is an independent wine merchant established in 2007. They stock over 250 wines from around the world which have been carefully chosen to over deliver. They also stock a wonderful range of artisan cheese, craft beers, cigars, specialist spirits and fresh bread baked on a wood-fire oven.

Not the place to visit if you're after a bottle of cheap plonk for a budget night in, instead it beckons when you want a special occasion wine for yourself, to complement a memorable meal, or to offer as a gift. The name theme continues with many of the wines; film aficionados are sure to be tempted by Francis Ford Coppola's 'Director's Cut' Chardonnay at £14.65 or his Pinot Noir at £17.75. If you're a fan of full bodied Aussie beauties opt for the intriguingly titled 'Cockfighter's Ghost' at £15.50, a Tasmanian Pinot Noir. A townie with countryside cravings might weaken at the sight of 'Ten Minutes by Tractor' (another Pinot Noir from Oz). When you are recovering from the night before, and still have a healthy wallet, your tipple of choice could be 'Dead Arm' Shiraz (Aussie again) at £27.25. For the dedicated oenophile, or enthusiastic imbiber, there's an excellent choice of wine-related accessories to choose from encompassing bottle openers, wine savers, glasses, silver champagne buckets and exquisite swarovski butterfly stoppers. The very knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming owner holds tutored and informal tastings on a regular basis.

Surbiton is a little off my usual track but Langleys does something on a Wednesday night that makes…read morethe journey very much worth while. Wednesday night is ladies night and to all tables of ladies only this means FREE WINE - yes you have read this correctly - free wine ladies (sorry boys this does not include you!) and let me just say they are not shy with their pouring or their refilling. So last Wednesday myself and 9 other likeminded ladies braved the journey to outermost Surbiton in the quest of free wine! And I have to say it was absolutely worth the journey. The staff here are lovely, welcoming and friendly. They were as I've already said really generous with the wine but the best thing of all was the food which was fantastic. On Ladies Night there is a set menu costing £25 for three courses and of course the free wine (I think you are getting the impression of how much I like free wine;) The menu consisted of a choice of four starters, five mains and five desserts. The choices were really good both particularly for carnivores but there was a really nice veggie and fish option as well. I had Chicken Parfait to start, Pork Entrecote for main and Langleys messed up ( a sort of Eton mess) for dessert and I loved every course. My fellow diners were equally impressed and I have to say I will be going back again - admittedly only on a Wednesday as Surbiton really is a bit out of the way for me!

So tasty and nice atmosphere! Definitely recommend the bottomless brunch on the weekend.read more

What better way to enjoy a summers evening than kick back by the river with a glass of wine or a…read morepint of the cold stuff? I've found Kingston to be a little hit-and-miss when it comes to bars and pubs but Woodys is the perfect spot for those long warm summer evenings us Londoners like to take advantage of. We visited for a friend's birthday last month as she'd spotted the pub on her jogging route and we were all smitten by its charm. Inside is a mish-mash of furniture with arm chairs, kitchen chairs, dining chairs and an old piano sitting in the corner. They even have a box of toys for the kids (although the Mr Potato Head may attract the likes of me also) so mums and dads can relax while the kiddies play. The prices were reasonable and while I hit the wine menu many of my chums opted for their cider. The food coming out of the kitchen looked tasty although we didn't eat there, and the staff were extremely friendly and attentive. The whole place has a lovely vibe and indeed, as the manager says, it feels like an extension of your living room. If you're out and about in Kingston and fancy a beverage head over to Woodys for a lovely chilled out vibe...and perhaps a bit of play time with Mr Potato Head.

Woody's is an ok bar in Kingston, its nice that its one of the last of the independents, but there…read moreis a number of things wrong that serious deride from the experience. The entire bar decor could be described as shaby sheik run amok. The crowd is an odd crossbreed of hipsters and wanna be yacht club members (60+). Its not a great place to go and have to good of a time, you might disturb the status quo. Its obviously the victim of wanna be middle class gentrification, and also don't go hungry, you won't find more than a bag of crisps. The location is great, and at least they have a clean toilet. Don't disturb the blonde bald dragon (barkeep) and keep to the status quo (tightpants and bangs over your eyes) and you might just fit in nicely at Woody's.
