John Gordon's in Cheltenham

This place is just brilliant, I see that others have commented on the prices, if you are only interested in the price go to Weatherspoon's!! John Gordon's is a great experience, a lovely atmosphere, friendly and highly informed staff who will guide through the extraordinary range of drinks, If you are in Cheltenham and you miss it - big mistake!!

every thing about this Bar is great.. The cigars is a good range... the staff are the tops a very samples of drinks.... you must try it...

Popped here with my dog for a coffee. Lovely friendly staff and excellent coffee. I sat in the courtyard which was very attractive and my dog was made to feel extremely welcome.

Friendly & helpful bar staff, allowed samples of beer before buying, was upsold on ordering a local gin as a double. Leaves a nasty taste in your mouth when it turns out to be £23 for a pint of German draft lager, a double gin & tonic & a packet of crisps?! Not felt that ripped off since a trip to a bar in Paris! Still, will only do it once to unsuspecting visitors from out of town giving it all the sales talk. Next time we are in Cheltenham will give this place a wide birth!

Always helpful and friendly, the staff at John Gordons make any visit very relaxing and pleasant. Whether you choose downstairs, ground floor or outside in the atmospheric cloister, you will be comfortable and content.

This is a great place , cosy and all previous visits were always enjoyable . However last night January 14, we had a terrible experience which has ruined our view of this place. I ordered a vodka tonic , and my husband ordered two shots of a 15£ highland park whisky . However upon tasting my drink it was Smokey and definitely not a regular vodka tonic. Either the glass was not properly cleaned and stjll had remnants of a peaty whiskey or the vodka was smoked .The barman refused to acknowledge nor replace the drink, despite his own lady colleague , and nearby patrons, saying it did smell odd . He refused to taste the drink (understandable ) but how could he then be so certain he was right - we tasted it ! Not really the way you treat returning customers who were clearly not trying to get a free drink- our first round was over £40 and I did not drink my “vodka tonic.” If we had been treated well, I am sure we would Have had at least another round . If you were at a restaurant and your dish was not as you ordered it would have been replaced . Not at this place - last night ! It is a pity such an institution can be ruined by the barman that insisted he was right, and he was not . I think I know what a vodka tonic should taste like - it’s not my first :) we will return when there is another member of staff behind the bar.

I was on my own, away from home on my birthday and popped in on my way back to my hotel. I was made to feel hugely welcome and the kindness of the young lad and lady behind the bar really lifted my spirits. I will return!

I took my brother here for an Islay whisky tasting session on his birthday. We both loved it. The bar staff were welcoming and knowledgable and the whisky was top notch. Can definitely recommend it for whisky lovers or even just the whisky-curious (you get a tasting notes sheet with your five whisky samples, which is helpful). We’ll probably go back and try the Speysides next time!

This drinking place is at part of Gods Country the atmosphere is good and the staff freindly sit out side to see the wotld go by

Came in for a few drinks with friends over the weekend and the staff were quick and very chatty (in a good way) very friendly

This has to be one of the best drinking places in Cheltenham.. The staff are the best if in the town you must go..

lovely staff and a great drinks selection to keep all happy! They were filming something whilst we were in, wonder what it could be

Great staff, great service and a wonderful experience overall. Can't wait to go back! Definitely recommend

we dropped by for a pre lunch drink - great service and lovely staff - this was our first place to visit after not going out for so long - they couldn't do enough for you! will definitely be back.

John Gordon’s has great Italian Kimbo coffee, amazing whiskey selection, awesome spot and superb service

We came here on a busy Friday night but were seen too immediately, our sever was friendly and gave us some great drinks recommendations that were honest and not just trying to up-sell us. Overall experience was fantastic and we would definitely come back!

When lock down was about They where open 3 days a week for Shop service. Now open to sell from the bar.. I just went for Cigars easy. The Top man is the best. Give it a try ,,,

This bar has supported us through lockdown, and we will continue to support them going forward. Sincere thanks to all the staff, Ant, Will and Adela

This is a coffee/bar I've frequently visited over the years and never had a bad experience. On my visit today I needed help with the track and trace and was using my magnifying glass to read through instructions. As I could not follow the instructions I asked a rude young man for his help on 2 occasions. He insulted me by saying in an arrogant and aggressive manner that there's only 4 questions anyone can do it and that I was doing it on purpose and that I was being awkward.I genuinely needed help with the instructions as it's very hard to follow with poor vision.He then said I was banned. Well, does he really think I'd return to a place to be treated so badly.The same place that puts money in his pocket, clothes him and helps pay his bills!!!!Feel sorry for the lady lovely having to work with such a bully.

Small but friendly with a great atmosphere. We popped in for a quick drink before heading off for a meal and we weren’t disappointed. Table service after texting your details to comply with Covid regulations.

Lovely coffees and hot chocolate service was great and the environment is really cool. This will become a regular watering hole for us in the future.

Situado en el exclusivo distrito de Montpellier de Cheltenham, muy cerca hay una gran variedad de bares; restaurantes, elegantes salones de belleza y salud y boutiques de moda.John Gordon's es aclamado con razón por los conocedores como un minorista especializado en vinos finos, whisky, ginebra y otras bebidas de todo el mundo. Su deliciosa y pintoresca cafetería y bar de vinos es un oasis de tranquilidad y un servicio discreto, excelentes cafés y vinos y deliciosos bocadillos.

Went there for a couple of Gin & Tonics! Probably 40 different guns and three different tonic. Great atmosphere and slightly quirky but great knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended

Great selection of Gins and Whiskeys, stopped in there one morning and found you can get a decent cup of coffee as well.

Popped in and ordered a delicious and unusual Korean iced coffee. Will the manager gave us lots of info on how it was made and it tasted just divine! An unusual recipe that was perfect for a hot day!

Fantastic selection ! Had a lovely Glenfarclas 15 Quirky area downstairs and arcade that we will be back for in the summer on our next visit. Great atmosphere . Steamy Windows.....

Ubicado en el corazón de Montpellier, a la vuelta de la esquina del Hotel Queens, este pequeño bar / bistró dio en el clavo. Me detuve el fin de semana pasado mientras esperaba que mi pareja (ella trabaja en el hotel) termine su día.Comencé con una pinta de cerveza negra y cuando ella me envió un mensaje para decirme que estaba a punto de terminar, pedí las dos tablas disponibles: charcutería y queso, más el vino: queríamos vino ese día lluvioso. . .Todos los productos en los tableros eran frescos y de calidad. Dos grandes son ideales para dos personas + 1 botella de vino.El ambiente es super. Adela (¿obtuve el nombre correcto? [Camarera pelirroja]) fue amable, cálida y la hizo sentir genial a través de un servicio atento y amable. Pero el anfitrión principal - embajador de la barra fue Barley con diferencia. Vea su foto mientras lo abraza un cliente y descansa cómodamente.La lista de vinos es corta y apropiada para acompañar la comida en el menú. Si busca + 50 vinos, este podría no ser el lugar para usted. Sin embargo, si los cócteles y, a juzgar por las botellas mostradas y los pedidos de los clientes, la ginebra (y tal vez las maltas) son sus favoritos, entonces está en el lugar correcto. Sin embargo, si desea un buen equilibrio de opciones en vino - cócteles - ginebra - maltas más un ambiente acogedor y comida honesta, este es su bar.Nota: El negroni (tuve que probar uno de mis favoritos para ver si pasaban la prueba) fue mezclado a la perfección por la chica que vino después de Adela. En la próxima visita veremos cómo arreglan mi favorito: martini muy seco y seco. Si uno domina los clásicos, uno puede jugar y mezclar; -)

John Gordons is superb venue in the heart of Montpellier. An old fashioned looking premises with a huge selection of drinks. Staff are always friendly and helpful, good outdoor area too. Highly recommended.

En el corazón de la encantadora zona de Cheltenham en Montpellier, este es un pequeño bar encantador, que se asemeja a un cruce entre El Vino y Gordon, pero más pequeño (aunque tiene una planta baja que parecía prometedora para las noches). Personal agradable, excelente comida de bar (tuvimos, variadamente, baba ganoush con pitta (excelente), Camembert derretido con tostadas (para morirse) carne antipasti (buena) y queso de cabra sobre tostadas con tomates asados (sin quejas), buen vino por el vidrio, agradables tés de hierbas, grandes ventanales y pisos de madera y un ambiente generalmente agradable. Si se encuentra en el área recomendada para el almuerzo (creo que los nuestros eran oficialmente 'bocadillos', creo que nada peor). - tienda - ronda - chi - chi - joyería - tiendas o post - literario - festival - auto - mejora / recuperación de la indulgencia.

Llamado en especificaciones para el almuerzo con 2 miembros de la familia.Malbec y Chablis vinos muy buenos; comida pésima.Sin embargo, no hay agua con gas; solo aun! ¡Esto podría haberse obtenido en segundos en la tienda local!Alimentos ordenados: 1 x ensalada de cous cous con limón, 1 x panini tostado con brie, etc., y n 1 x brie, tocino y arándano, sobre masa madre, como aparece en el menú.Después de una espera considerable (¿nadie más está comiendo?), Mi hija declaró que el cous cous no era comestible (fue eliminado de la cuenta) el panini de la esposa era normal. Me informaron que no había arándano (disponible de inmediato en una tienda local), así que a pesar de la información en el menú, me decidí por la salsa picante. ¡El sándwich tostado apareció, pero no en masa madre, sino en pan de trigo común! Para entonces ya había tenido suficiente, así que aceptamos la presentación, ¡y escaseamos rápidamente!¡Esta fue, sin duda, la peor experiencia de comer que tuve la desgracia de recibir que puedo recordar! Este lugar puede ser adecuado. por una copa de vino y un poco de queso; sin embargo, si este es un ejemplo típico de la cocina disponible, sugiero que los viajeros cenen en otro lugar; Hay muchas otras opciones alrededor del área inmediata. Supongo que simplemente elegimos imprudentemente.No volveré; Sin embargo, después de esta revisión, dudo que sea bienvenido.¡Viajeros, manténgase alejado!

Just visiting Cheltenham for the afternoon and popped in to this interesting bar stacked full of a huge selection of spirits including my favourite...gin!Shelves full of the stuff. Very helpful and pleasant staff and were able to take the time to chat about the huge variety and let my wife and I check them out and sample. If only I didn't have the car.....If ever we're back in Cheltenham we will visit again :O)

We are writing this review from Coffee No.1 in Stratford Upon Avon- very relaxed - confident of NOT being ripped off.Visited John Gordons in Cheltenham for breakfast this morning and was totally ripped off -possibly because they thought we were from abroad visiting.Ordered bacon sandwich and egg benedict and 2 pots of tea and some hot water - The Bill was £24.70. The food was l luke warm and took ever to arrive.We were charged £4.00 for 2 very small pots of hot water!!!!At Coffee No.1 and every other place we have visited for last 5 years - never have we been charged for hot water.To add insult to injury we were also charged £2.25 service charge. The service was useless. Had to ask 3 times for hot water. We were the only customers there (that should have told us something) They were given the opportunity to rectify matters, but the niece of the owner said ‘I only work here’, the bearded fellow who we think was the manager didn’t care!!When we move in to Cheltenham this is one place we definitely will never ever visit again.It is people like these that give Britain the label ‘Rip Off Britain’Go to Cafe Rouge or Coffee No1 - good service without being ripped off.

Super friendly staff. Great selection of drinks from all over the world. Can we adopt the whole team, please?

Decided to have a quick breakfast as we walked past. It’s a cracking and very quirky little place but it should stick to drinks as breakfast was very overpriced and poor standardreally.Croissants which must have been from a packet but had caster sugar sprinkled on to make them look fresh that day. Both of us had eggs benedict which had way over cooked eggs with hard Yorkers.All in it was very overpriced at almost £40 for 4 coffees, 2 croissants and 2 Eggs benedict. Not great

Without any question this is the best bar in Cheltenham, there are people who have commented on the price, they are very fair, if you are one of the increasing cohort who know the price of everything and the value of nothing, get ye to Weatherspoons with the rest of the plebs! This is a top bar, with a great team running it

Amazing place to go to for food and drink. Would recommend. Best in Cheltenham. Amazing wine, whisky, cocktails,gins

Puedo mantener esto corto y dulce, ya sea para una tarde / noche G&T; o un café por la mañana y un sándwich de tocino, esta es una verdadera joya de lugar: una encantadora área de bar, un acogedor salón en la planta baja y un espacio al aire libre peculiar, pero el Lo mejor de todo es el ambiente amistoso. Al entrar me saludaron los clientes habituales que disfrutaban de un café, y el personal fue muy atento y cordial. Un gran servicio atento, nada agresivo ni ofensivo, y sin pretensiones. Sólo un lugar realmente agradable para mientras se ausenta una hora. Este es mi nuevo lugar favorito para tomar una copa en la ciudad, es muy recomendable.

Been visiting John Gordon’s for many years. You always get a warm welcome the food service & choice of wines are excellent. It is a great atmosphere & quirky bar . Thank you for a great afternoon.

A trip to cheltenham would not be complete without a stop here. Just the greatest selection of gins and a great athmosphere! I love the little snug at the bottem of the stairs!

Places come and go in Cheltenham but there are those which do their thing well consistently. John Gordons is one of those, consistently doing their thing well. A few different beers, a great range of wine and an enormous range of Gin's and spirits. They have had a slight change in layout which works really well. Great as always.

I’m not surprised why this bar was voted ‘Best bar in Gloucester’ and ‘fifth coolest bar outside London’. We came before last year and it still gets better. Biggest selection of whisky and Gin in Cheltenham too. They even have a separate gin bar and the only bar to present them properly. Other bars never get the glass right either. Staff are fantastic and very knowledgeable about the spirits. You can buy a bottle of your favourite tipple too. Bought a Japanese whisky for my sister in law. Highly recommend this place. Good music too, if you like blues and jazz. Classy!..

Always great to see Gordon and sample the finer drinks of this world...Great atmosphere...should always be in the list.....

We popped in here and enjoyed some lovely G&Ts; to round off our evening. The staff were knowledgeable and helped us choose our gins and pair them with appropriate tonics. It was crowded at street level but there is additional, comfortable seating downstairs. A little pricey maybe, but worth a visit on a special occasion.

Me encanta este lugar, excelente personal, excelente ambiente, excelente decoración, excelente música. . . !

Spent a weekend away as a birthday celebration and had an amazing time here,delicious wine and great atmosphere located in the heart of the town!

Este es un lugar tan increíble, se siente como en casa. ¡Se admiten perros, gran variedad de bebidas disponibles, té, café y pastel durante el día! Personal excepcional, siempre sonriente, encantado de ayudar y nada es demasiado. Gran ambiente y ocupado en un fin de semana. Fabuloso para el almuerzo íntimo.

Popped in to this little gem for a pie with a fantastic glass of red. Atmophre was great with a wide range of wine and spirits.. Also Coffee is really good !

Visited Friday and had a beautiful evening with friends, largely due to the angelic voice by the solo pianist coupled with great wine. Knowledgeable staff and very cheery. Will be visiting again.

Always buzzing, this place is the centre for all things gin in Cheltenham and even offers a 2nd bar open at the weekends. Great place to go along and try out new flavour gins.

It's been a long time since I've been in John Gordons. From the outside it looks like a a well stocked and busy place with plenty of custom. I was tempted in by a flyer for live music, specifically blues. We found a table in the undercover courtyard area where the band was setting up and I went in to get drinks. "No cocktails tonight" was the response to a request for a dry martini. The bottle of white wine we had instead was pretty much at room temperature - it's time in the fridge must have been fleeting. At least plenty of ice was supplied on request. The place is scruffy and dirty on anything more than a superficial acquaintence, the ladies' loos spectacularly so I'm told, "They were awful" was the verdict.

Fabulous corner Montpellier location, opposite the gardens, with an astonishing selection of gins & vodkas & mixers. The main bar overlooks the gardens or sit outside and watch the world go by. At the weekends the back bar is open & there is the cosy downstairs bar for those winter evenings when you really don't want to know what the weather is doing outside :-)

Nice atmosphere in a cosy bar right next to the best area of Cheltenham. We will be back in the future for sure

Fantastic selection of gins to choose from - almost too many! Staff really friendly. Nice location near the parks. Well worth a visit and to the shop afterwards.

Great spot to relax and enjoy a great selection of gins, and bar staff that could make some great suggestions as one drink turned into two, then three... great to sit in the window and watch the night life pass by

Perfect place for after dinner drinks (this visit) or a lazy afternoon lunch (last visit) if you do not want to be overwhelmed. Great selection of Gins and Whiskeys (more Vodka would be nice) and a very nice menu. Really friendly staff also

We popped in for a light lunch. Good selection of drinks and food. Friendly service and nice atmosphere. Will definitely return.

Popped in .. £4.80 for a pint .. fair enough ... House white wine and small bottle of lemonade ... £10.20! That's taking the mick out of your customers I'm afraid. Plenty of cheaper bars along this road, go to one of them instead.

Cute little bar which we were told opens out the bs k to a much bigger bar / restaurant of an evening.

Great choice of beers, friendly service. Fabulous location with plenty of bars nearby. You must visit this.

Very pleasant seting for an afternoon drink on a warm sunny day in town. Great selection of gins to explore.

Check your change!!! It may have been an honest mistake but I don't think so. Barman owned up far too quickly!!

This was our first holibobs as a couple and we popped into this fine wee bar for a prosecco brekkers. The staff were delightful although if I was nit picking the pronunciation of some of the Islay drams could be better seen as this is a whisky bar and Islay drams are the pinnacle of single malts. I sat on wee smooches lap and smooched her which creeped out a few folk as she’s much smaller than me. We went back twice over the weekend as it had a great atmosphere. Definitely recommend

The best place to go in Cheltenham for drinks. Amazing selection great service and food. 10/10 would recommend people to go their.

Excellent bar service, it had to be to cater for 16 men all ordering different drinks the barman handled the service with style

I hired the Gin Bar and Arcade for a private function. The staff were great, nothing was too much trouble. We had a full band and dancing and an acoustic act later in the evening. it was a fabulous venue, really quirky and offered lots of unique spaces to suit everybody. Fabulous drinks selection, it was a very memorable night and my guests had the best time.

My sister and I were in town for the day shopping. We called in and sat down, looking forward to coffee and possibly looking for lunch later in the day. I had injured my ankle the previous day so remained in my seat whilst Janet walked to the bar. Another couple were examining several bottles of spirit on offer and were being looked at most attentively by the girl behind the counter. I soon realised that the third person on the customer side was not a customer but another member of staff who was also offering his expertise to the would be purchasers. Very attentive staff indeed! Janet received no acknowledgement of her presence at the bar until another gentleman came from the rear of the premises and engaged her in conversation about the gins on offer as well as the bar to the rear. In fact she was shown round the bar by this man. Meanwhile I sat and was continuing to get more frustrated at the lack of response from staff out front! On her return to the table with still not a flicker of attention we decided to leave , assuming that as far as these two staff members were concerned our custom was not welcome. We didn't expect to be fawned over but at least looked for a nod in our direction and "we'll be with you in a moment" ...Alas nothing of the kind so we moved to a much more welcoming coffee shop further down the road. I cannot review beyond this encounter so have no idea on the quality of any of the fayre on offer. I wonder if the couple bought anything after such an investment in staff time!

Called in for a quick coffee whilst shopping in the Montpellier District.A bit of a dark interior decor-wise but service was very good and the coffee hit the spot.Can sit at tables or in the window and watch the world go by or there are some tables in the covered precinct outside.Shame we weren't there later on to partake of their gin Menu.

Incredible selection of Gins (and other spirits !) Sit inside or outside in an arcade - so still undercover or outside in the open.

I came as part of a large group and there was a great selection of gins and mixers. It was a nice atmosphere and the staff made us feel very comfortable. Knowledge of Gin could have been a little better and the gin was v expensive (£17 for a double) but overall I enjoyed it.

Very friendly service and staff. We stopped for a light lunch. The cheese board was awesome. The bread was oh, so good.Lots of sitting options to choose from. Not busy at lunch time.

The staff here are really knowledgable about the drinks they serve. Moreover they are always enthusiastic, friendly and importantly patient if you want to try something new and need some advice or options. Plus they specialise in whisky and gin, what's not excellent about that!

Great Gin - with knowledgeable and friendly staff. This bar offers a unique style experience. A bit pricey but well worth it.

Best range of drinks for a pre dinner drink, and very helpful staff if you can't make your mind up. A plus that they sell the bottles too! It gets busy quite quickly but there's seating downstairs so that helps.

Great little bar/pub that happened to be right opposite the hotel we were staying in. Very old school, but also 'happening' if that makes sense. Will definitely visit next time were in Cheltenham

Tardis like bar with awesome service and a unique style a sophistication suited to Cheltenham. A little pricey but we were pleased to pay for a special occasion at the jazz festival.

The staff are always polite, highly efficient and serve with a smile. Great Jazz and Blues music. Terrific atmosphere, and a great place to be for afternoon coffee or an evening out with friends. With regards to previous two derogatory comments below, I just so happened to be there when the so called gentleman (rude and drunk) insulted the staff and a 24 year old bar girl. It was appalling behaviour. He was promptly and politely asked to leave and was lucky not to have been arrested for abuse. I'm a bit surprised he still felt his behaviour was justified and wrote what he did. I know from overhearing at the time, that he certainly wont be back. Ha!.. We all had a great time anyway. Thanks guys.

I have read the reviews about staff being unfriendly here and have to say i completely disagree. Whenever I go in for a drink the staff are extremely pleasant and chatty and very helpful in terms of recommending drinks! Slightly pricey but as expected in this area of Cheltenham.

Came in last week and were greeted with bored looking staff, who then seemed pretentious when they came to serve us. Drinks hugely overpriced. Better places in cheltenham. Won't be back, sorry.

Complain about the poor attitude of the staff and 20 minutes later the door staff man handle you out of the bar. Not a place that does customer service I guess. Avoid it there are far better places near by that will appreciate you money

I would have expected to be able to order my favourite gin, alas not available, how very disappointing!!

This place is fab, if you want a drink and a cigarette in a friendly environment this is the place to be. The choice of whiskey is unreal and the wine menu is great. Pop in if you can, you won't be disappointed!!!!!!

Amazing variety of drinks and service! Talked is through all the different whiskeys and wine. It has a downstairs seating area which is really cosy!

Spent many a good evening here enjoying the fine wines and whisky on offer - always a great selection to choose from.

One of my favourite bars of all time, located on the Promenade, between Imperial Square and Montpellier Gardens, in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England.Renowned for its charm and atmosphere and by its extensive range of fine whiskies, ranging from moderate to expensive in price. The staff and owners are always happy to discuss the various styles, types and quality of the many and various types of whiskey they stock. They also stock a carefully selected range of beers, wines and other spirits. Currently with a downstairs bar and outside seating in the Montpellier Arcade, as of mid February 2017 they will have extended through into cosmopolitan Montpellier Street where I gather they will be adding an extensive range of gins to their offering.Always a must when we have friends and guests in town.Highly recommended.

Every time we are in Cheltenham, we spend most of our nights in here... why would you go anywhere else when they have all the drink you'll ever need! Your variety is out of this world and I knew from my first visit, "I'll like a gin and tonic please..." and your response was "which gin, we have over 60..." I was in heaven! Not only do you know your gin, also what compliments it. My partner is very impressed by your rum collection! Great to see you have expanding to the room across and loads more gin! Love the music, the atmosphere, friendly, knowledgable staff, all walks of life in here-having an amazing time. Will see you agin!

Brilliant evening spent trying out different types of gin.The new gin bar is only open certain nights a week, delighted we found it. The barman was very knowledgeable and found us different gins for our different tastes. We returned one lunchtime and visited the main restaurant and bar as the gin bar was closed. Again very attentive staff and enjoyed the sharing plates/

Amazing bar, fantastic range of wine with staff happy to advise and offer tasting. Also an impressive range of gins. Lots of seating downstairs, very nice atmosphere and snacks smelt amazing!

this is a good drinking and light lunch venue we enjoyed a few G&T's on a summers evening we have found it a bit "clicky" though with a large group of regulars making you feel a little outcast . would recommend though

Popped in as it looked kind of authentic and independent - it was.Limited beers but great and I assume it was a wine shop at some stage as it still had an air of it about it. Plenty of gin and whisky options and friendly welcome.They did some good although I didn't eat or see anything served.Only concern in a big night out is that there appeared to be only one gents loo - a big ouch for the middle aged beer drinker.I will certainly return.

Asked for recommendations on a reasonably priced bottle of medium sherry for Christmas. Bought a £26 bottle (not cheap), on their recommendation, but on opening and taking a tiny glass at home it was sickly sweet. Undrinkable. Took it back and was prepared to swap for a £12 drier one and didn't even want the difference refunded. Just something I could drink. They refused to do the exchange. The reason people choose bespoke wine merchants is for their expertise and recommendations which they should stand behind. Laithwaite's wines will exchange an empty bottle if you didn't like it. Recommended or not. Will always shop with them from now on. Lousy customer service guys. You just lost a customer.

Extortionate prices, husband came back from bar with large Chardonnay and half pint pilsner and it came to £12.50!!! Thinking he had been overcharged for his half, turns out the wine was £8.50 a glass... definitely won't recommend and won't be back.... circus bar couple of doors down just as nice and damned sight cheaper!
