Ronnie's Restaurants

At Ronnie’s of Thornbury we’ve noticed things have changed. Most alarmingly we’ve noticed our customers are buying less wine. Being a firm believer that a good meal can only become great in the presence of friends and a bottle of fine  wine, I’ve introduced our “off license” range.

The ‘Wine Merchant’s’ range includes a selection of fabulous wines that we are making available to buy at retail prices so you can take them home. And to make the offer even more attractive, you can drink them in the restaurant for a small corkage of £5. The offer excludes Saturday evenings. Buy a case of 6 and we’ll give you a further 10% discount.

I’ve taken these steps as a result of taking over a restaurant that was previously a BYO establishment. I realised that the previous proprietor and I had a common goal, which is to sell food. The wine is merely a catalyst to a great evening and a full restaurant. However my passion for wine has prohibited me from converting to a BYO restaurant, but rather brought me to the negotiating table with my wine suppliers. I believe I’ve found the perfect solution to bring you, my customer, a fantastic  selection of wine at prices that could change the way we buy wine in restaurants. Come and see for yourself and you’ll find wines on offer at half the price of our competitors.

This is a trial, but if it goes well, I’ll change my whole list. I’ve listed the wines on offer below and look forward to seeing you soon.

All the best,

Ronnie
