Located on the stylish Hollywood Road, wine is undeniably at the heart of The Wine Gallery; with a large selection sold at retail shop prices, oenophiles have no reason to lament the high prices of their chosen bins. Believed to be one of the best value places in London, it is now possible to taste a Viña Sol Torres 2008, Spain or Cotes du Rhone, Domaine Andre Brunel 2006 for under £15 per bottle.

A day of extremely good weather warrants a drink at the pretty garden with perhaps steamed chicken dim sums and sweet soy sauce, or goat's cheese crostini with roasted endive and homemade red pepper jam to accompany. Follow on with some brasserie favourites like cottage pie with peas, homemade fishcakes with chips, tomato and onion salad and tartare sauce, and pork and leek sausages. Hot toffee cake with cream or ice cream, or a selection of Italian cheeses with walnuts and honey make a challenging finishing course.
