Tucked beneath the bustle of South Audley Street, Farm Shop Mayfair's Wine Bar is one of the neighbourhood's best-kept secrets - a candlelit cellar that trades on exceptional provenance. The daily changing menu of seasonal small plates, house-cured charcuterie, and generous British and European cheeseboards draws directly from the shop's own Somerset estate, offering a masterclass in farm-to-glass dining.

Come 5pm, the casual daytime ground-floor café transforms, extending the wine bar upstairs with a menu anchored by premium rotisserie chicken and impeccably matured cheeses, from sharp Somerset cheddars to gooey Vacherin Mont d'Or. The main draw for enthusiasts, however, is the extensive, globally minded 150-bin wine list. Available by the glass, carafe, or bottle, the selection includes exclusive bottles produced right on Farm Shop's Somerset estate.
