The main restaurant is huge and they also have a cheese room and wine tastings.
The main courses are served on wooden platters. I recommend the ribs.
Must try the triple dessert. We could see it being made in the kitchen behind the glass. One bowl has rhubarb, another had blueberry cheesecake, the middle one has chocolate and cointreau, and all have a sprig of mint on top. £12.50 for all three.
I wine we tried and liked. Le Cigare Volant, meaning flying cigar. The story of the flying cigar is on the back of the bottle. A southern Rhone blend, similar to the renowned Chateuneuf du Pape. Unfiltered. 13.5% vol. Must by law be stated on the bottle. Californian wines tend to be between 14 and 15 because they have so much sunshine. 375 ml is half a bottle, three glasses small of 125.
The owner of Vivat Bacchus, Gerrie, (I checked the spelling on their website), the pronunciation of his first name might be Afrikaans) a South African, is the tall guy on the left.
Vivat means long live. Bacchus is the god of wine.
Their address card shows a corkscrew on the front. On the back is the saying, Life's too short to drink bad wine.
We went to the Farringdon branch on this occasion.
