English Wine Week....

23/06/2026

Thank goodness it’s English Wine Week. 🥂

In this heat, a chilled glass of English wine is exactly what’s needed.

One bottle we’re recommending from our list this week is Dart Valley Reserve from Sandridge Barton in Devon: crisp, refreshing and ideal for lunch on the terrace, a drink in the garden or a cool glass during the match.

To book, please call 01780 410355 or book online here: https://www.theolivebranchpub.com/book-a-table
