In the early 60’s, the roof terrace was replaced by a glass conservatory. Soon after, the Victorian shop front was added and it started to retail beer as a public house. The beers were brewed in the converted stables and dropped through a hole carved out of the ceiling of the cave for storage. The building was originally comprised of a Georgian House with stables to the back and a cave below. The Hand & Heart started its commercial life in 1866 as a brewery. We've won numerous CAMRA awards and become well known for our hearty home-cooked food and traditional Sunday lunches that have been described by some as "legendary!" and "epic!" a long history OF BEER
The cave restaurant full#
We also stock a selection of fine Champagne and Sparkling Whites, Selected Craft Beers and a very limited selection of Sake for your enjoyment.A TRADITIONAL ENGLISH PUB STEEPED IN HISTORY, the hand & heart is built into SANDSTONE CAVEs that date back to saxon times.įamous for our fantastic selection of real ales & ciders, a carefully chosen cellar of fine wines, and an extensive range of whiskeys, our pub is full of character and quirks: from the cave restaurant to the garden room conservatory, piano snug and more.
In addition, we always carry a variety of wines from France, Italy, Spain, Australia, Chile and other countries around the world. Our focus is on California/American wines, which make up about 90% of our selection. Our 3000 square-foot showroom includes more than 2500 different wines to choose from, with new arrivals coming every week. The Ventura Wine Company is proud to offer Ventura County's largest selection of fine wines always at competitive prices. The Barrel Room offers guest the ability to reserve the space for their large groups, or rent the room to host private parties, meetings or events. In 2015 The Cave completed a private dining room (the Barrel Room) and expansion of the restaurant. There is a $15 corkage fee on all bottles brought from home at all times. This fee combined with our retail prices is still way below the industry wine list standard. The attached retail store has an inventory of over 1000 wines and guests are encouraged to select a bottle and bring it over to The Cave for enjoyment.Ī nominal corkage fee of $10 applies on all bottles purchased from the retail store and consumed in the restaurant. It presents 40 wines by the glass, bottled beer, Champagne and port or dessert wines and non-alcoholic beverages that can easily be paired with the ever changing menu of small plates, pizzas, salads, and burgers created in our small kitchen. The Cave was created to bridge the gap between the causal or beginner wine drinker and the connoisseur or foodie. Nick Fisher was the original mastermind behind both Ventura Wine Company (a warehouse retail wine shop offering competitive and honest prices without the frills or club membership requirements) and The Cave's design and concept. Every first Tuesday of the month the small-plate menu offering changes as do the 40 wines available for tasting by the ounce or by the glass. Opened in 2008, The Cave has been pleasing palates and wetting taste buds since it's inception with some of the best food and wine around. The Cave is hidden deep inside The Ventura Wine Company retail wine shop, but don't be fooled by the plain exterior.
