Valentine's Day - Three Course Candlelit Dinner
A selection of our wine bars will offer the perfect romantic, candlelit setting to indulge on this special occasion, featuring a specially curated three-course set menu .
The Boot & Flogger wine bar was recently named the No. 1 ‘best-reviewed in London’ by DesignMyNight – a proud recognition of our legacy and passion.
When John Davy opened The Boot & Flogger in 1965, he operated under the historic Free Vintners’ license from the Worshipful Company of Vintners’, (the license dates back to a charter of 1567 granted by Queen Elizabeth I), allowing him to sell wine only – no beer or spirits. At a time when quality wine by the glass was typically reserved for luxury hotels like The Savoy and The Ritz, most pubs offered little more than ‘plonk’. The license gave Mr Davy the freedom to do something entirely without the formality or cost of a grand hotel.
The Boot & Flogger became London’s first true wine bar, setting the standard for a new kind of drinking experience and inspiring several more Davy’s Wine Bars across the City and West End. Its launch marked a turning point in London’s wine scene, and we’re proud to continue that legacy today.

"Favourite wine bar and restaurant in London. Amazing food and huge selection of wines with a professional service. All at reasonable prices. This is the benchmark against which I measure other establishments. "
"I have been coming to the Boot and Flogger for about 30 years. In all that time, it has remained a wonderful place to meet friends and entertain visitors. Please never change! This week, my Italian friends visiting from Rome declared it their favourite London dining experience. The manager and staff remain wonderful hosts and could not be more helpful. Thank you all. You are a very special group of staff in a very special place! "
"Love this place! Can't believe it took me so long to find this place, a fantastic find. I have now already been there twice within a month. Fantastic food, great wine list, excellent atmosphere, we will be back."
"A unique venue which feels like being in another more gracious time. Traditional good food and a wonderful calm ambience."
"This wine bar has retained a lot of its historical charm and feels like you're stepping into history. We were sat in the "cellar" section but didn't feel like we were completely isolated as staff were super friendly and attentive. Recommend checking it out for the decor, food was great too!"
"The party enjoyed the food and said the service was top class and they were very attentive "
"Recently had a dinner for 13 people in one of the private rooms. The food, service and venue itself were all fantastic and we will certainly be back again. "
"This cosy wine bar has left the best impressions! Attentive staff, delicious dishes, good presentation and a reasonably priced menu. I would recommend it to anyone and will certainly return in the future. "
