BOTTLES Group

What BOTTLES Group does

BOTTLES Group Ltd. operates Bottles, a single-location Italian Osteria & Enoteca at 67 Brushfield Street in Old Spitalfields Market, London E1 6AA. The venue serves regional Italian food — artisan charcuterie and cheeses, fresh pasta, market-led plates, and desserts designed to pair with wine — alongside a curated list covering Italy, France, Spain, Germany and other regions, with a stated emphasis on sustainable and family-owned producers. Wine curation is delivered through an in-house partnership with BeBeMe Wine Merchants, which provides access to bottles described as exclusive to Bottles and embeds sommeliers for wine guidance on the floor. Don Julio's Cellar is an owner-curated fine-wine sub-program of rare and iconic bottles for celebratory occasions, and a Wine Club runs recurring producer-led tastings and meet-the-winemaker events.

The operation runs six days a week (closed Mondays), with reservations taken through SevenRooms and walk-ins welcome. A formalized private-hire offering covers three distinct spaces — The Bar, the Venetian Room and La Cantina — plus full-venue takeover, with published minimum spends ranging from £600 to £6,000 depending on space and day. Set menus and sharing feasts are bundled into the private-hire product. Tipsy Tuesday, a weekly 50%-off-bottles-with-a-main promotion, addresses mid-week traffic. The technology stack is operator-grade SaaS only: SevenRooms for bookings, Giftpro for gift cards, and an eepurl-hosted newsletter for direct CRM; there is no proprietary platform, app, or API.

Revenue is generated from four streams — food service, wine sales (by-the-glass and bottle, plus Don Julio's Cellar), private hire and events, and gift cards — across three customer segments: individual diners, corporate and private groups, and wine enthusiasts. Pricing is positioned as accessible rather than premium, with private-hire contracts carrying deposits (typically £20 per person or £600) and minimum-spend thresholds. The legal entity is a private limited company incorporated in England with no disclosed investors, founders or funding rounds; ownership and management team are not stated on the company's website or in the source data.
