We had the absolute pleasure of hosting chefs (and a very special GM) from across Soho House today as part of one of their team perks called Cookhouse.

Their visit was all about learning what we are doing down here at Sète, tasting the wine and food, but also to discuss what it is actually like to create, open and run a small restaurant down at the seaside.

It turns out they are all hoping to open their own place one day, and they asked me;

“What is the best advice you could give someone who wants to open a restaurant”

and I said

“Don’t do it”

We all had a good laugh 🤭

but I also said;

- Surround yourself with great people (both in and out of work)
- Cultivate lasting relationships with your guests.
- Make sure you have a really good understanding of the numbers, know every penny going in and out of the business.
- Don’t be afraid to take a risk, my greatest learnings have come from failure.
- Constantly ask questions and never stop educating yourself. I am always asking my mentors and peers about this business and I am better for it. There is no shame in asking for help.

Thank you so much for coming guys! You were SO much fun. Excellent questions and your enthusiasm left us all energised and inspired ☺️

It’s not always an easy industry, but it’s days like this that remind you what it’s all about.

We love wine. That’s a fact.

What we love even more, is introducing people to NEW wine, different grape varietals they have never heard of and countries they would have never thought to order wine from.

We have a “try before you buy” policy at Sète - anything that is open you can sample before committing to a whole glass.

And in doing that, we’ve convinced Chardonnay haters to give her a second chance. We’ve talked “big red wine” drinkers into enjoying a light red that has a depth of flavour, without the weight they are so accustomed to, and we’ve turned Prosecco sippers into Pet Nat enthusiasts.

So we want to bring that same sense of fun, new tastes and WINE to the comfort of your own home.

Starting at £60 a month our bespoke monthly case includes:

Approachable tasting notes (think, foam bananas and pineapple gummi bears)

Pairing suggestions (like late night Macca’s, leftover roast dinner, Peter’s Fish & Chips).

Hand-selected wines with a focus on France, Germany, Austria, South Africa, California and beyond.

With a consideration for the seasons and wine WE like to drink, taking your personal preferences into account.

Plus extras like a 10% discount in the bar and restaurant exclusive to Club Du Vin members.

Just in time for the gifting season - link in bio to read more and subscribe!

PS - We will start with local delivery and add National very soon!

£45 includes a delicious glass of Glühwine + all materials and equipment.
