Lubberhuizen and Raaff – The Providores are very proud to be the first restaurant in the UK to list this remarkable, award winning eau de vie from the only genuine distillery in the Netherlands. Cloistered within an old fire station at Varik, a beautiful rural village surrounded by orchards, Henk Raaff and Bas Lubberhuizen distil only the best freshly harvested fruit – apples, pears, plums, cherries, raspberries, blackberries and blackcurrants – into eau-de-vie of the very highest quality. Unlike the usual factory method, in which industrial alcohol is often mixed with essences, L&R’s distilling process is still very much a pure craft.

	The Providores Restaurant and Tapa Room has one of the largest lists of premium New Zealand wines in Europe. But until now, we've been unable to offer you New Zealand's very best wines by the glass, due to the short shelf life of an opened bottle. After much research, we have chosen the Wine Saver Pro preserving system for our red wines. This relies on Argon gas, which is totally inert and 100% safe. For our white wine selection, we are using the PresorVac system, sealing each bottle by vacuum and pressure pump. We do hope you enjoy this selection of special wines by the glass. Melanie Ellis, our bar manager, will be constantly changing them to allow you to sample some of New Zealand's very best premium wines.
