Eight wines by the glass.
Eighty by the bottle.

The cellar
Below the shop

“A good wine list ought to read like a guidebook — not a catalogue. We try to keep ours that way.”

The Story

A corner of Stockbridge.

“I wanted somewhere people could try the bottle before they bought the case — and somewhere I could open the wines I really wanted to drink, not just the ones that would sell.”

Isla opened Cellar Eight in 2016 after a decade in London restaurants and a year in the Loire. The shop sits on a quiet corner just off Raeburn Place — eighteen seats, a small counter, two hundred bottles on the wall.

Half wine merchant, half neighbourhood bar. The list leans towards growers we've visited and producers who farm carefully. There's always something from the Loire, always something from Etna, and always something nobody's heard of.

The shop

Two hundred bottles,
by the case or the one.

The wall behind the bar is the shop. Take a bottle home for the corkage price you paid on the table, build a mixed case, or have a tasting note written for a gift.

From a regular
“The only place in the city where I've been handed a glass of something I'd never heard of, asked what I thought, and then sold the bottle to take home. No theatre, no lecture — just proper hosting.”
