Wildes, a family-run bar opened in a Regency basement in the Parade in 1976, has been relaunched as Cellar Club by business partners Gareth Dore and Ben Philpotts.

The venue was relaunched this summer following a substantial investment by its new owners. As well as introducing new technology allowing customers to serve their own craft beers and wines, the venue has created its own permanent kitchen residency, The Vegan Burger Club, which offers a range of indulgent burgers, hot dogs, wings and puddings, all without a trace of meat or dairy in sight.
