Truffle
A quiet room in Lymm, gathered around good bottles and slow afternoons.
Small rooms, honest food, bottles worth talking about.
Truffle is a wine bar, a delicatessen, and a place to unhurry. We pour by the glass, cut cheese to order, and pack a hamper the way you'd like to receive one.
You don't need to know your Burgundy from your Barolo. You need a stool, an hour, and the willingness to be surprised.
Four small ideas we keep coming back to.
Everything we do fits under one of these. If it doesn't, we probably shouldn't be doing it.
Bottles you won't find on a supermarket shelf.
Small growers, honest importers, and the occasional lucky find. Always something new to try.
Wines, cheeses, charcuterie. Small sharing boards.
One glass and one cheese, or a table between friends. Nothing over-plated.
No jargon. No pressure. Ask anything.
Or ask nothing at all. We're happier when the wine does the talking.
One glass, or a long afternoon. Your pace.
We don't turn tables. Stay for the second bottle. That's rather the idea.
Growers we know. Bottles we've tasted.
Our list is built one bottle at a time, from small producers, honest importers, and the occasional lucky find. Nothing on it we haven't earned a story about.
Reds you can lean into. Whites that read like poetry. Orange for the curious. Sparkling for the way home.
The everyday, made a little better.
Cheese cut to the gram. Charcuterie sliced to order. Oils, tinned fish, chocolate, sourdough, and the sort of small pantry things that turn a Tuesday into something.
Choose three things.
We'll build the rest.
A sharing board at Truffle isn't a menu. It's a short conversation. Choose three cheeses, three charcuterie, or a mix. Bread, pickles and honey come with the room.
Ribbon-tied,
hand-packed,
sent with a note.
Because "a nice bottle" deserves better. We put together small hampers for birthdays, thank-yous, moving-in, and the occasional apology.
Delivered locally. Collected in person. Wrapped with the care you'd want on the receiving end.
A short walk from The Cross, Lymm.
Sit at the counter. Take a corner table. Stop by for a bottle to take away. All the same to us.

Notes from the bar.
New bottles on the list, small dispatches from producers we visit, occasional recipes, and the odd opinion.
A quiet week in the Loire.
Small producers, big honesty. Notes from a trip that reshaped half our white list.
Why we chose Lymm.
A short letter about the town, the building, and what a wine bar can be when it isn't in a city centre.
The cheese we can't stop cutting.
One raw-milk Cheshire, one glass of Gamay. It really is that simple.
