Set over two floors, the ground floor will house the wine shop and tapas bar, which will have an open kitchen with a dining counter; banquet seating for up to nine covers, and an elevated wine tasting table for 10. A narrow staircase will lead to a basement wine bar, with additional seating, a second tasting area, a corner bar and a preparation kitchen counter.
Jason is working closely with award winning designers, Russell Sage Studios, to create an urban and contemporary interior with metallic finishes throughout.
Notably, all serving staff will be sommeliers, offering each customer a personable and informed experience when ordering both food and wine. Sommeliers will also be on hand at The Social Wine Shop, offering tastings and guides for the buyer. The shop will also stock glassware, Coravin wine systems and wine accessories.
Social Wine & Tapas will be open seven days a week, from midday to late (the wine shop will open at an earlier time of 10am), and will operate a no reservations policy.
Small Contribution. Big Impact.
The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.
We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.
A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
