The role will include:
• Washing up and keeping the kitchen clean and organised

🍷 NEW FINE WINE OF THE MONTH 🍷

Taking us through the rest of July and August is the rather special 2005 Château Maison Blanche from the Médoc.

From one of Bordeaux’s finest modern vintages, this Cru Bourgeois has aged beautifully. Expect ripe black fruits alongside developed notes of cedar, to***co, graphite and forest floor, with polished tannins and a long, savoury finish.

Now drinking at its peak, it’s a wonderful example of mature Médoc—and a rare chance to enjoy a wine of this age by the glass.

🍷 125ml | £15

Available now and throughout August
