A Wotton-under-Edge wine and tapas bar is going from strength to strength and is ‘Traveller’s Choice’ on Trip Advisor and in the top 10 per cent of restaurants worldwide.
The Wine Shack at No 7 was opened on Long Street in June 2021 by Claire and Angus Wilkinson and offers 60 different types of wine.
“I’m very proud of the wine list which we review quarterly. The wines are from all over the world and selected with the help of a sommelier. We even have vegan wine,” explained Angus.
Claire oversees the food side of the business which offers a wide range of tapas, such as chorizo in red wine and honey; baked aubergines, tomato, basil and parmesan; calamari and whole baked Camembert cheese.
“Many of our tapas are homemade, as are some of our desserts. Also on offer are sharing boards, suitable for two people, featuring cheese and charcuterie; a Spanish board; fish board and a vegan selection,” added Claire.
The Wine Shack at No 7 is open Thursday to Saturday, 6-11pm, with last orders for food at 9.15pm. “We also do Prosecco lunches, usually on the first Saturday of the month. We have a range of events throughout the year, including music from local bands and wine and cheese tasting,’’ added Angus.
