Aspen & Meursault is an independent natural wine bar and cafe at 96 Westbridge Road in Battersea. Founded by wine science specialist Sunny Hodge, it aims to make low intervention and organic wine approachable rather than obscure or overly formal.
The food is designed with wine in mind, moving through oysters, house pickles, focaccia, hummus, cured meats and cheese. These small plates allow a table to vary richness and acidity as different bottles or glasses arrive.
Brunch is served into the afternoon, while the all day menu and more structured tasting experiences make the venue suitable for a complete meal. House cured seafood, vegetables and slow cooked dishes can feature in pairings, with vegetarian and pescatarian routes available.
Staff guidance is an important part of choosing from unfamiliar grapes, regions and production methods. Aspen & Meursault is best for curious drinkers who want serious wine accompanied by food substantial enough to support a long, exploratory visit.
Address: 96 Westbridge Road, Battersea, London SW11 3PH, England
