A little bit of paint, and a little bit of w**e… 🍷🎨

Join us next Tuesday for a Paint & Sip with Its Easel If You Try. The pieces on the easel? A bottle of w**e pouring into a glass. We couldn’t think of anything more fitting and might even keep one for the bar walls…

No need to be the next Picasso - just bring your creative side, maybe a friend or two, enjoy a glass (or two) and have a lovely evening all round!

🎟️ Tickets are available via the link in our bio. Spaces are limited, so get yours booked!

A couple of frighteningly good w**es… 🍷👻

These two look like they’ve crawled straight out of a scary movie. Meet today’s spooky by-the-glass specials:

🍷 Monk Dominik – A dangerously drinkable Czech red, bursting with red fruit, soft tannins and a little spice.

🍷 Zweigelt – A juicy, cherry-filled Slovenian red, served chilled. The perfect way to give yourself a little w**e-induced shiver.

🥂 World Ch*****ne Day. A very good excuse, if one were needed.

There’s sparkling w**e, and then there’s Ch*****ne. Born in France’s Ch*****ne region, made using the traditional method and aged on its lees, it’s a w**e of finesse, complexity and that unmistakably creamy mousse. From Blanc de Noirs to Blanc de Blancs, non-vintage to vintage, it’s earned its place as the benchmark for bubbles and the drink of choice for life’s little (and not-so-little) celebrations.

We’re rather fond of the two bottles we’ve got at Basil’s:

🍾 Ch*****ne René Jolly Blanc de Noirs Brut has been our house Ch*****ne since day one. Made entirely from black grapes, it’s a characterful, beautifully expressive fizz with generous fruit and the structure to make it just as good a companion to a plate of food as it is an excuse to raise a glass.

✨ Ch*****ne Frerejean Frères Premier Cru Extra Brut is for when you fancy pushing the boat out a little further. A more refined, drier style, with freshness, precision and lovely complexity. Elegant, understated and a rather special pour that we might open by the glass today…

Two Ch*****nes, two different expressions of the region, and absolutely no need to wait for a special occasion. 🥂

🇪🇺 18 countries and counting…

Well, look at that. Another country has joined the party, taking our full By The Bottle list to 18 countries.

But where is the new kid on the block from? 🤔

We’ve kept this one under wraps (quite literally), and we’re giving you just one clue: it’s a country in Europe. That’s it. No hints about styles, grapes, regions or anything else. You’re on your own with this one.

Fancy winning the bottle? Here’s how to play:

🌍 Follow Basil’s of Reigate
🍇 Comment your country guess below
🥂 Tag the person you’d share the bottle with

Competition closes for guesses at 5pm Thursday 22nd October and all correct answers will go into the hat with the winner drawn later that evening.

You have more than 30 remaining countries to choose from. How hard can it be?

Bonne chance! 🍷

🍷 VAT’s the problem. 10% is fair.

We love taking inspiration from our European neighbours at Basil’s. From the w**e we pour to the way we bring people together, there’s plenty we think the UK can learn from the continent.

And here’s another thing many of those countries get right: recognising the value of hospitality, with lower VAT rates than we have here in the UK.

Right now, Tom Kerridge is spearheading a campaign to bring hospitality VAT down to 10% at the next Budget later this month - and we’re firmly behind it.

Why does it matter?

🍷 It gives independent businesses like Basil’s a better chance to thrive and invest in their teams.

🍷 It helps protect the pubs, bars, cafés and restaurants that bring our high streets to life.

🍷 It supports the people behind the scenes, from bar staff and chefs to farmers, w**emakers and local suppliers.

Because hospitality is about so much more than what’s in your glass or on your plate. It’s about the people you meet, the relationships that prosper, and those little places that make a town feel like home.

We’re proud to play our small part in Reigate, and we want to keep doing so for years to come.

So, as this Budget approaches, we’re adding our voice to the campaign.

VAT’s the problem. 10% is fair for hospitality.

BEAUJOLAIS NOUVEAU IS BACK! 🍷🇫🇷

Thursday 19th November - save the date.

We’re doing it all over again, and this year we’ve ordered BEAUCOUP de Nouveau. So, quite frankly, we’re going to need your help drinking it!

Here’s the deal - two 2026 Beaujolais Nouveaux, both pouring by the glass for just £7 (£35 a bottle), some French and a little entertainment once again.

Same deal as last year: book yourself in for a couple of hours of joie de vivre and celebrate the arrival of the year’s brand-new Beaujolais.

We were very busy indeed last year, so if you’re thinking of joining us, we’d recommend booking early.

Jeudi 19 Novembre. À bientôt!

🎄 Basil’s is getting creative again this Christmas!

We know. It’s still September. We’re not quite ready to put the tree up either… but you’ve been asking, so here we are. 😉

Our 2026 Creative Christmas Programme is officially LIVE, with a whole host of festive workshops coming to the bar this winter.

🌿 Festive Table Garland Workshops with Clare Ross
✨ Christmas Wreath Workshops with Kate Derbyshire, back for her third year
🕯️ Christmas Table Decoration Workshops again with Willows

Each workshop includes all the materials you need, a glass of w**e and some nibbles — so basically, everything required for a very enjoyable bit of Christmas preparation.

🎟️ Tickets are on sale now via the link in our bio and on our website.

And a little warning… these workshops have a habit of selling out rather quickly, so if you’ve been waiting for us to announce them, this is your sign to get booked in.

🍷 Let the festive creativity commence!
