Banquet 1408 Wine List

The right wine with the right food is a simple statement but difficult to define. In reality the right wine is the one that you enjoy drinking. The perfect wine will not only taste great, but also enhance the flavour of the food that you are serving along with it.

We have worked together with Lay & Wheeler Wine Merchants to put together a list of wines which complement our menu. Each dish - steamed, pan-fried, deep-fried etc, has been tasted alongside a range of wines which we hope will enhance the flavours.
