It’s a serious start, reinforced by Honey Spencer’s brilliant wine list […] Other restaurants should come and study the Nuala wine list to see how it’s done.’ – Jay Rayner, Guardian

‘This is a woman who truly lives and breathes the wine industry. Her knowledge on each glass and the way it interacts with the dish was unparalleled. Best of all, however, was the ingenuity with which she approached each drink – whether that was serving mead in lieu of a dessert wine, or digging out a skin contact pinot grigio produced in Slovakia.’ – Molly Codre, Independent
