The Basement

A uniquely British bar – seasonal cocktails, great snacks, no reservation needed.”

We’re really excited to be able to invite you to the basement!

Down here, the lights drop, the music warms, and the pace slows. It’s a comfortable, welcoming space, somewhere you can enjoy the Tern experience without committing to a full tasting menu. We’re open for drinks and bar snacks, perfect for relaxed evenings, spontaneous visits, and anyone who simply wants great cocktails in good company.

What makes this bar truly unique is our commitment to a 100% British drinks offering, something incredibly rare in the cocktail world. Every spirit, wine, liqueur, and mixer is sourced from within the British Isles. No airmiles. No exceptions. From coastal distilleries and small-batch gin makers to natural winemakers and creative fermenters, every bottle has a story and every drink celebrates the people behind it.

Our cocktails are ingredient-led and driven by the seasons, using house ferments, cordials, and infusions made in our kitchen or in collaboration with local producers. Flavours change as we grow, brew, distil and experiment – proving that British drinks can be every bit as exciting, expressive, and world-class as their global counterparts!

The bar itself was created in partnership with brilliant local independents and creatives. Ceramics, artwork, lighting, carpentry – everything is made by real hands, crafted with care, and designed to make you feel at home. It’s the same philosophy we bring to our food: nothing generic, everything personal.

This is Tern after hours: darker, richer, more playful, and entirely its own thing. Come for a drink before dinner, stay long after dessert, or visit just for cocktails and snacks. No reservations needed, just walk in, settle in, and stay as long as you like.
