What Damien Shaw doesn't like about The Cellar Tasting House Wine Merchant:
Went on the recommendation of family. However, employees/ owner are rude and on their phone all evening distant from their cliental. Wine is cold despite their supposed pride in high quality wine, would be a zero star but unfortunately that isn’t an option. Would love...to support a local business but when the employees/ owner think they’re above you it brings a poor atmosphere and abysmal customer service. View all feedback. What Michael Schuett likes about The Cellar Tasting House Wine Merchant:
Absolutely fantastic place for a glass of wine but not exclusively there is beer and an excellent range of cocktails available too. I simply couldn’t recommend this place enough, become somewhat of a local for me. View all feedback.

With a chessboard to die for, a great selection of wines and friendly knowledgeable staff. A great place for a romantic date or drinks with friends.

The Cellar is a gem in Lymington, offering a variety of wines, gins, and cocktails. The cheese and meat board is delicious and the owner provides great recommendations. The cozy atmosphere and excellent service make it a must-visit spot. On the other hand, some customers have complained about rude staff and limited portions on the cheese platter. However, most patrons have had a positive experience, praising the food and wine. Prices are reasonable, and the overall value is good. Whether you're a wine enthusiast or just looking for a great place to relax, The Cellar is a recommended destination in Lymington.
