We’re very excited to announce a series of collaborations with some outstanding guest chefs, every Sunday in October!

On Sunday 4th, Tida of @eat.moo.noi joins us for a Northern Thai pop-up, combining the best of local produce with the big, bold herbal flavours of Northern Thailand.

On Sunday 11th, Chiara and Claire of @big.dip_ give us the trattoria treatment with a menu of old school Italian classics; cosy, comforting, and nostalgic.

On Sunday 18th, George and Neil of @aretecooking treat us to a seasonal, produce-led menu; rustic, generous and full of flavour.

And finally, on Sunday 25th we have some extra special plans for @ante_coffee ‘s 4th birthday, with a surprise guest yet to be announced…

Kate’s last dance! 👋

At the end of this month our fearless leader @kateharrisonfood will be stepping down from running the kitchen at SPRY.

From the moment we met Kate we were so impressed with her passion and determination, yet when first joined the team downstairs in @ante_coffee we had no idea that soon she’d be leading the team upstairs at @spry_wines, and cooking some of the most delicious food we’ve ever had on the menu. Her impact on operations across both floors cannot be overstated, and she will be sorely missed by everyone, team and customer alike!

This means that we’ll be looking for a new Full-Time Chef to come on board at the end of August.

If you think you’ve got what it takes to fill her kitchen-clogs send over your CV and covering letter to hello@sprywines.co.uk.

And if you’ve not tried Kate’s cooking yet, you have until the 28th of August before she heads up north for pastures new. by @spry_wines

Wild After Party! 🥳🍷

We’re thrilled to be hosting one of two official @wild_wine_fair after parties this Sunday, 26th July!

After a day at the fair, head over to @spry_wines where we’ll be welcoming winemakers, importers, and wine lovers alike for an evening of food, drinks, and conversation.

We’ll be open from 4pm–11pm, with our full food menu available until 9:30pm. Expect a special Wild Card wine list featuring rare bottles from the cellar, alongside an exciting by-the-glass selection you won’t want to miss! 🦄

No Wild ticket? No problem. Book a table via the link in our bio, or take your chances and walk in on the night. 🤞

A huge thank you to Jo & India for bringing Wild back to Scotland and inviting us to be part of it. We’ve wanted to get involved ever since attending our first fair back in 2019, so it’s a real privilege to be hosting this year.

And if you’re heading to the fair, make sure to stop by our tasting table at @timberyard10, where we’ll be pouring the latest releases from our own import portfolio.

See you on Sunday! 🍷

Sfaíra x SPRY 🌀

On Sunday the 17th of May we will be serving a special tasting menu created by @ante_coffee chef @helenageo.

Elena has been with us since 2024 and has taken the kitchen at Ante to the next level, now for one night only she’s bringing her own signature Mediterranean flair to the kitchen at SPRY!

With her unique Cypriot‑Finnish heritage Elena has grown up foraging and cooking from an early age, with a respect for the fresh, seasonal, and wild ingredients that are central to everyday life from both her maternal and paternal backgrounds.

That foundation has continued to influence her development as a chef during this chapter of living and working in Scotland, where she brings together Mediterranean influences with locally sourced produce.

Expect intentional, visually thoughtful food, inspired by memories like her mum’s koupepia and lemons preserved from their garden, built around seasonal fare and hand‑foraged ingredients.

The menu is priced at £65 with an optional £55 drinks pairing. Due to the nature of the event we cannot cater to dietary requirements.

Booking via the link in our bio! 🔗

Kamil Barczentewicz in Edinburgh! 🇵🇱🤝🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Sunday 19th of April we will be joined by a very special guest, a leading light in the Polish wine scene, and one of our own imports, Kamil Barczentewicz! ☀️

Kamil’s project is a benchmark for quality when it comes to Polish natural wines, and is now a core feature of the wine-list at SPRY.

After traveling the world (as near as Austria and as far as Chile) to learn his trade, and attending oenology school in Bordeaux, he returned to Dobre where he and his family have planted 12 hectares to noble varieties; Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Gewürztraminer, and Bläufrankisch 🍇

The vines are situated on a steep limestone hill in the town about 3km from the Vistula river in East-Central Poland. The wines are a pure expression of the terroir and vinification a thoughtful process carried out mostly in oak vats and concrete eggs.

Kamil will be with us from 5pm in the bar to chat all things natural winemaking and share with us the deepest lineup we have had of his wines yet! 🥂

Citrons, Kulus, Navels, Cedros, Marshes, Limequats, Floridas, Melogolds, and Wilkings 🍋🍊

As the winter citrus season slowly draws to a close, we’re getting ready for summer by preserving and pickling as much of these beautiful fruits as we can get our hands on.

All of the amazing produce pictured has come from the Todoli Citrus Foundation in Valencia. Since 2013 Vincente and his team have been working tirelessly not only to save ancient varieties from extinction, but also partnering with government and educational organisations to research into new, alternative, pesticide free treatments for their trees.

Thanks to @shrub.london for supporting this amazing farm and making these unique varieties available all the way up in sunny Scotland! ☀️

Lucy Chilvers at SPRY 🍷

Next Wednesday we will be joined by one of the most exciting winemakers in Catalunya!

Lucy Chilvers discovered natural wine working at restaurants down in London, but was bitten by the winemaking bug and was inspired to learn more. She enrolled at renowned winemaking school, Plumpton, where she met fellow classmates @sophieevanss and @titchhillwines.

Upon finishing her degree, Lucy worked with many influential growers including Radikon in Friuli. After a couple of years back in the UK, she felt the call to produce wine in Europe. Finally finding a home and cellar in the Catalunya region of Spain, she now farms 4.5 hectares of vines organically, and produces wines with zero additions.

Lucy will be with us from 5pm on the day, pouring her current releases and chatting all things winemaking! 👋 by @spry_wines
