WINE TASTINGS:

If you would like to join us for a relaxed evening sampling a range of fantastic wines with one of our wine experts in our private upstairs bar, then why not come to one of our wine tasting evenings? At each event we serve a range of about ten wines, telling you a little a bit about each of them along the way. The evenings are designed to be fun and informal, and don't require you to have any prior wine knowledge.

Next Event:

'Stars Reborn - Spain vs Italy'

A chance to taste old favourites like Rioja and Prosecco alongside brilliant new wines, many from rare grape varieties. Spain and Italy are competing for the title of 'Europe's New World' - who will get your vote?

Presented by the inimitable Canice O'Reilly, and served with new seafood and charcuterie platters from our kitchen team, this promises to be yet another excellent evening of food, wine, discovery and laughter. Tickets are £25. To book places, call us on 0115 981 7070

Recent Events:

'Christmas Corkers'
Wednesday 9th December, 7:30pm

Let us guide you through the drinks of Christmas day. Starting with that highly underrated of aperitifs - a sublime sherry - we'll then move on to a festive glass of bubbly. The following white and red wines will be ideal for a traditional Christmas lunch, and will be accompanied by perfectly matched canapés to compliment their flavours. A dessert wineserved with a sample of our belgian chocolate brownie, and a rich port with stilton will finish the night off in style.

'The New World Superpowers'
Tuseday 20th October

A true Tri-Nations battle! We've got the best modern wines from Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, and will let you decide which has the winning qualities.

WINE LIST

We have gone to great lengths to put our wine list together, and each bottle has been personally selected on it's individual merits. Of course, we can't guarantee that every bottle will be to everyone's tastes, but what we can guarantee is that each one is a fine example of the variety and region that it represents. We think that our list offers a diverse range of wines from all corners of the world, with a great balance between New World purity and Old World experience. We have decided not to stock a House Wine, as we think all our wines deserve better than this. We hope that you agree.

If you are interested in learning more about wines and would like to join us at one of our informal wine tasting evenings, please visit our ‘Upcoming Events’ page, or subscribe to our mailing list for regular email updates.

GREAT COFFEE

Many factors go into making the perfect coffee. One of the most important of these is the quality of the bean. At Belle & Jerome we use a blend of darkly roasted, pure Arabica espresso beans from Central and Southern America, which are full-bodied with a hint of caramel. They are Fairtrade, too, of course. We use Brasilia espresso machines imported from Italy, and all our staff are fully trained by our manager, Adriana Gosuen, winner of 2005 UK Barista of The Year competition, and a perfectionist about espresso coffee.

Every espresso shot we make uses 7.5g of freshly ground coffee. This is slightly stronger than many other coffee houses, but creates the perfect full-bodied espresso that doesn't get lost in a latte or cappuccino. Because we use one shot in our small coffees and two shots in our larger cups, the two sizes will vary slightly in strength of flavour, with the larger size being slightly stronger in comparison.

EVENING MENU

Our evening menu is available from 5pm, Monday-Saturday. All our food is freshly prepared in our kitchen, from locally sourced products where possible.

EARLY BIRD MENU: Dine with us before 7pm, Monday-Thursday, and choose 2 courses from our special menu for only £9.95.

To reserve a table, please call on 0115 9817070.
