Book Lovers' Happy Hour

 

An hour and a half of sheer delight. Tell us your tastes for both books and cocktails, and let us serve three courses of curated cocktails and book recommendations. Built for readers and lovers of luxury - possibly the best gift in the world, we think.

Our booksellers will analyse your tastes and compile a list of books suited to you, then you take your pick of one book from each course to take home. Our bartenders will pair them with a perfectly-crafted cocktail tasting menu. Any other books that you buy during the tasting experience will be discounted at 10%.

 

It's too good to be true.

 

Book today for yourself, as a gift for a deserving reader (and drinker), or as an unforgettable day out with your friends.

I reserved the “Book Lover’s Happy Hour”. It was tremendous fun! In 2026 I paid 50 pounds and that included a two hour reservation to sit down with one of the proprietors who had pre-selected books for me based upon a survey that I filled out in advance. I also filled out a survey about my cocktail tastes and over the course of the event I had three different cocktails. The drinks were absolutely delicious but even better it was the conversation and the book recommendations. Your fee includes the cost of the drinks as well as three books. This was not only fun, but it was a great deal! Highly recommend shopping with these friendly and knowledgeable folks!
