No17 wine bar occupies a prime spot in the centre of the historic town of Westerham. It is a quirky, modern wine bar and brasserie boasting a welcoming atmosphere and chic decor. No17 is dotted with eclectic pieces, there’s a gorgeous private courtyard to the rear of the venue, and a speakeasy-style private dining room is hidden behind a bookcase downstairs.
What to eat
They’ve got a lovely selection of sharing dishes, anything from your usual nachos to a whole baked camembert. If you’re meeting with friends, it’s the perfect choice whilst sharing a bottle of wine. If you’re there for a more formal occasion then they’ve also got a delicious selection of main courses, including Brussels sprout and roast chestnut hash with smoked streaky bacon, onions, carrots & poached egg, or potato skins loaded with either cheese & bacon or cheese & caramelised onions served with home made salsa & guacamole.
What to drink
The wine list is vast, and most of the wines offered are organic or biodynamic and hand-crafted by small wine growers. These are sold by the bottle or glass. A selection of some 68 gins and a choice of rum, as well as plenty of bottle beer, cider and soft drinks are available if wine isn’t your tipple of choice. A mixologist is on-hand at No17 to create cocktails from the specially designed menu – we recommend a French Martini or an Old Fashioned.
