About Sardinas

Reservoir’s favourite High Street hideaway blends an intimate enoteca with a working floral studio. Drop by for draft pours, then stay for European-leaning small plates. Locals look straight to the sardines on toast, comforting eggplant parmigiana, and a caramelized burnt Basque cheesecake. By day, the light-filled counter turns out lunchtime sandwiches on house-made bread alongside fresh seasonal stems. You can even grab takeaway tap wine in refillable glass bottles—with a discount when you bring them back for your next pour.

  • Bespoke Floristry: Operates an active floral studio on-site, arranging daily seasonal bouquets alongside event and wedding florals.
  • Wine & Small Plates: Serves European-leaning small plates like Venetian-style sardines on toast, cured meats, and warm eggplant parmigiana.
  • Tap Wine & Refills: Pours wines on tap alongside bottles to take away, featuring reusable bottles eligible for a refill discount.
  • Sandwiches & Provisions: Prepares lunchtime sandwiches on house-baked bread alongside house pickles, cheeses, and burnt Basque cheesecake.
