Tappit Hen
Right in the heart of the City and steeped in wine history, The Tappit Hen is a Wine Bar and Restaurant located near Cannon Street and Bank.

Today, the ground floor bar is the perfect place to explore the wine list including a by-the-glass fine wine selection using Coravin and an extensive collection of Port and fortified wines. Modern British cooking is served in the restaurant with small plates in the bar and all dishes are prepared using carefully sourced seasonal ingredients.
