ADAM AND THE AA
This month we acknowledged 7 years of Adam’s dedication to possibly the smallest restaurant bar in Surbiton. Thanks to the shared passion of Sarah and Adam, The French Table Wine List was yet again selected from over a thousand entrants, as one of only 298 establishments to be awarded the AA Notable Wine List Award.
