Light House Bar & Wine Store

Off licence does a fantastic range of craft beers from small manufacturers giving a better variety of flavours than you get in most places. I didn’t know so many types of beers existed before a visit here. Well worth a look for something different and makes great gifts

The Light House is the baby sister of the Bureau shortly further on down the village. Owned by the same man, yet they’re very different places. To compare, the service in the Bureau is attentive and high quality. In The Light House its slow and boring. Plus, the prices were a rip off. Last time I visited we ordered some nearly nice white wine, now I know for a fact it is sold downstairs in the companies off licence for £5 bottle, so why were we charged £17.00, just to come up a flight of stairs? Sorry, I don’t think so. The Bureau may be more expensive but at least you get a good deal. To go on, the seats aren’t comfy, there’s creepy old men lechin about and the toilets …*shudder*
Why slum it? OK there’s the price difference, maybe. But for the sake of a couple of quid? Maybe the Bureau is just more my scene. For one there’s a way better smoking area, plus you won’t get your drink spilt over you by the hallions at the bar who’ve just been turned away from the Bureau.
It isn’t my cuppa tea but it’d be boring if we were all the same.
