Vinos, finos and manzanillas are the order of the day at this slavishly conceived Noho version of a Spanish sherry bar. Boss Tim Luther previously worked in the wine trade, and is clearly an oenophile who knows his onions.

More than a dozen types of sherry are (for the most part) available by the 100ml or 375ml measure; a standard Tio Pepe is an eminently affordable £3.50. All types are clearly and intelligently described, with suggestions of food to complement them – yes, there is a full selection of tapas and, yes, they are indeed authentic. White wines are categorised by grape – albarino, godello – and reds by flavour. Serious and far wealthier Hispanophiles can pick out a UK rarity, such as a Llicorella pedro ximénez (£37) from Catalonia.

Note, too, the Basque spirit pacharán, sloe-flavoured and capable of delivering serious hangovers. Hanging hams lend that Iberian touch.
