About this restaurant

  • Great for fine wines
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Charming
The Grape Variety is a neighbourhood, independent wine bar, shop and restaurant, selling great wines and food from around the world, located just 2 minutes from Chipstead Railway Station.

We opened in the spring of 2018 with the aim that a wine bar should cater not just to experts, but to all, so we created one where our guests could unwind at the end of the day with a great wine in a warm, friendly and genuine environment, whilst getting sound advice about which wines to enjoy, as well as to take away.

For food, we offer quality artisan cheese and charcuterie, alongside dishes such as baked Camembert, bakery sausage rolls, hot chorizo and potato, hummus with a spicy sauce, Spanish pâté and the like. On Thursdays, enjoy our wood fired pizza pop-up and our legendary Quirky Quiz runs every other Wednesday. We also host various pop-ups, such as art classes, comedy nights, brunches, wine, cheese and gin tastings throughout the year. Follow us on Instagram to stay updated.

    We went here for Mother’s Day while ‘the kids table’ were there. Everything about our visit was excellent! The people that work there clearly love their job, chefs food was fantastic which sadly was cold upon arrival but swiftly rectified and they even took 10% off to apologise. Is beautifully decorated inside. A hidden gem, will defo be back. :-)
