Bleeding Heart Tavern

New Zealand Wines to Dine for - May Promotion

In May, Bleeding Heart Restaurant, Bistro & Tavern will be offering 10 different grape varieties from seven different New Zealand wineries by the glass. As well as the usual suspects – Sauvignon Blanc & Pinot Noir – there’ll be Pinot Gris, Viognier, Riesling, Chardonnay, Syrah, Montepulciano, Tempranillo & Cabernet Merlot served alongside the three à la carte menus in the restaurant, bistro & tavern. When the sun is shining don’t miss out on a glass of terrific Trinity Hill Rosé on the Bistro’s terrace. Call to book.

Newcomers who don’t realise that this tavern is related to the Bleeding Heart restaurant & its sibling bistro are likely to do a double-take when they overhear its Gallic staff describing the merits of homemade beef & ale sausages, beer-battered haddock with chips & mushy peas or Adnams ales in a heavy French accent. To their credit they do try not to sound English, nor do they adopt a Yiddish inflection for the braised salt beef with potato & onion latkes. Breakfasts add home-baked croissants to the ‘full English’ repertoire. Downstairs is given over to a grill & rotisserie.
