Wc Wine & Charcuterie

WC is an atmospheric and intimate wine bar, serving delicious cocktails, heavy pours of wine and scrumptious meats n cheeses. Amazing staff with great vibes, 100% would recommend for a cute date or small groups.

The coolest of cool of Clapham...a must visit to do the cocktail list whilst chatting and nibbling on a plate of meat & cheese

Absolutely love the wine and food here! Great Date place but also great to catch up with friends!

In the summer you can sit outside which is lovely but I love the indoor cave style.

I was out and about again, this time for the launch of WC Wine & Charcuterie. You've guessed it, it's a wine and charcuterie bar inside a refurbished 100 year old public toilet, right next to Clapham Common tube station. I like to think that they went through a few options in the pub first before deciding what to specialise in - "Wedding Cakes? Walkers Crisps? Wychwood Cider? Wensleydale Cheese? I've got it, WINE AND CHARCUTERIE"



WC follows The Attendant and Bermondsey Arts Club down the London bog route, though planning apparently started a few years ago and just took a long time to sort out. It was worth the wait as they have totally transformed the space into a beautiful, cosy wine bar, extending old cubicle walls & doors to create booths, and using old wine crates in a variety of ways. There is also a rather pleasant garden up at street level, enclosed by white picket fences



They apparently unearthed a number of gems when they were refurbishing, including some rather raunchy letters that are on show for all to see in the men's bathroom (which uses original urinals). You can also find some entertaining old school graffiti scratched in to the wooden booths if you explore closely with a light on your phone.




I guess I should talk about Wine & Charcuterie now? Well, the thing is, I'm no wine expert, and we were drinking bubbles when we went, but I have no doubt that they have a very strong wine list. More my scene is the Brixton beer on tap.   


As for food, you have several options.



Small plates including - Chadwick’s Black pudding Scotch egg & pickles £4, Iberico Leg w/ gherkins - £8, and a special - Foie gras parfait for 2 with Pedro Ximinez jelly, cornichons bread - £10.



Charcuterie board at £15 - Coppa, Hungarian paprika & chilli, WC Ham hock terrine, Wild Boar Salami, Bresaola, Smoked duck breast (£2 supplement)



Cheese board at £15 - Brie de Meaux (cow, France), Cantal, (cow, France), Drunken Burt, (cow, Cheshire), Golden Cross, (goat, Sussex), Fourme d’Ambert, (cow, France)



Superior Cheese & Charcuterie at £25 - Smoked duck breast, Jesus De Lyon, Truffle Salami, Pork Rillette, Brie De Meaux with wild honey, Fourme d’Ambert, Piccalilli, Mixed Olives, Sourdough & oils



There's also a mezze platter, a ploughman's board, oysters and salads - plenty to keep you happy.



All in all, we were very impressed, though a return visit is required to fully explore the food and drink. WC is not a gimmicky bar in a toilet It's an atmospheric, classy wine bar, perfect for dates, or pre dinner / cinema drinks, and a great addition to Clapham Common.

Came in here last Thursday with my family and I was astounded by how good both the food and service was. The atmosphere was just right, the music on point. Everything seemed under control and our food and drinks came out nice and quick. A good selection of wine is available, and the cocktails (especially the Mexican Butterfly) were very tasty. In terms of food, the baked camembert is a must! They serve it drizzled in honey and with a stick of rosemary on top - showing fractionally just how much care they put in to the venue. Definitely recommend coming here! Special thanks to the tattooed girl for her excellent customer service

Visited afterwork with my sister in law and had a couple of nibbles alongside some lovely drinks. This small and inviting space is intimate and cosy. It really has a lovely vibe and is certainly one you’d need to book in advance due to the limited number of seats available. We had a lovely time and will most certainly be returning.

Intimate atmosphere, best suited for dates atmosphere & food-wise. We had a few servers but our first was Yash, who was lovely and personable. To get here you need to walk down stairs and space (unless you get a booth) might be a bit cramped with a walking support.

One of my favourite places in London. A true hidden gem right next to the tube station. The wines on offer are all great and the food is absolutely amazing. My go to, to take out-of-towners for a brilliant time.

This is one of those places you don’t want to review because you don’t want other people knowing what a gem of a place you’ve found. Thanks for looking after us so well - I wish I did have an “in” on those red sambas.
