We have decided to close our doors. Our last service will be on Friday 19th December. I have some private events early in the new year, but we will not be open to the public after the 19th December.
It has been a brilliant eight years. So many wonderful nights. I am very thankful for all the support our customers have shown us over the years. So many of you have championed the restaurant and a great number of you have afforded me the honour of knowing you in ways that far exceeded my expectations. I shall always treasure those experiences.
I am looking forward to a new and very different chapter in my career. In the interim, I am hoping that you would like to experience Vins again before we close. We are running several focused menus during our last six weeks. You can still order a la carte, but we wanted to offer a compelling and accessible opportunity for you to spend some more time with us and have decided to offer each menu, in full, for £34 per person. Our first menu draws on my Cypriot heritage, is shown in the image above and is available from Wednesday 12thNovember. Please look out for menu changes here and on our site.
I hope to welcome you in again at least once more!

Flatbread, octopus terrine, taramasalata, lemon mayo and sometimes pea shoots and other times rocket. But something green and peppery, for sure.
