Bow Wine Vaults

Bow Wine Vaults since it opened in 1987 has increased steadily in popularity over the years. Frequented by celebrities, sporting personalities, regular businessmen, and locals.

Our recipe for success has always been to produce the very best food, the best wine, the very best bill and to make the customer feel very welcome.

“Charming management and staff help craft a “warm feeling” at our “casual” City “comfort food haven” where “delicious” Eclectic eats and “fab wine” are offered in our “busy” ground-floor brasserie and our “cosy” downstairs restaurant; in fact, there’s only one “problem”: you will not want to leave.”

We very much look forward to welcoming you and showing you why Bow Wine Vaults is one of the best places to eat and one of the most popular City restaurants.
