Hi! Your old pal Natty Boy has evolved into Parched. We grew up a bit, but just like before, we provide properly made drinks that taste good. That means wine, hard liquor and things for those who aren't drinking but still want their thirst quenched. We also have a tonne of fancy things to go alongside your fancy drinks.
Parched is here to quench an ever broader range of thirsts, from natural and mind bending to cult classic. We do it all so that you can have it all.

.... Parched x Liberty Wines x Langham Present: England's Finest Fizz
OOFT, it's happening!
We're bubbling with excitement to bring you our latest tasting event, in collaboration with the legendary Langham Wines and Liberty Wines. These guys are without a doubt Britain’s finest fizz-makers, and we’re beyond lucky to have the incredible chief winemaker, Tommy Grimshaw, join us for the evening.
Langham Wines are all about quality, using only estate-grown, hand-harvested fruit for their trad-method bubbles. Each base wine is crafted with indigenous yeasts, extended ageing, and regular bâtonnage in a delightful mix of stainless steel, concrete, and used French barriques. Oxidative techniques and blending from a variety of complex base wines are the secret behind Langham’s distinctive style and there is minimal use of sulphur and low dosage too. Just how we like it! If you’re a fizz fanatic, this is the one you’ve been waiting for. Trust us, you don’t want to miss this.
Here are the details:
Dan's - 2- 4 Tottenham Rd, N1 4BZ
Wednesday 23rd April
6.30-8.30pm
Tickets £40ea
Ticket price includes 4 wines + light snacks
Parched Magazine: Issue 001
Ever read our emails and been like wow, what interesting, funny, slightly profane writing! I wish I could read 59 more pages of it!
Wish granted!
Introducing Parched Magazine - a quarterly publication of our general musings, ramblings and recommendations about wine. As with all things we do, there's something in here for everyone, whether you're a proper cork dork or a total novice. There's a bit of science, a bit of opinion, and a lot of average chat. It's a good read, if we say so ourselves. Issue 001 features an interview with Domaine Ratte by Jura expert Wink Lorch, an in-depth explanation about why you're wrong about Riesling, and a re-telling of one magical, hedonistic trip to Austria. Plus a lot more.
Go find a bottle you’ve been saving for an occasion, bust it open and enjoy.
Enjoy, winos xoxo
Everybody Loves Parched, and These
Direct Imports // Imported Direct // Producers We Love
We have the incredibly tough job of venturing overseas a few times a year to seek out fresh producers. It is hard work, and you are welcome. Here's who we currently represent...
Dan's
Opened in January 2022, Dan's has become one of the reference point wine bars of London (their words...). Here we offer the entire Parched range, as well as some other, harder to find gems that don't find their way onto the website. The vibe is ultra casual, and we're blessed with a huge, south facing suntrap on the Dalston Riviera. It's a winey dream. Cya there.
Ken's
Ken's opened in September 2023, seeing a beautiful marriage between the Parched wine business and Chef Fergus Shields' delicate, nourishing and forward thinking food menu. We offer a rotating list of 400+ wines and a weekly changing food offering. Again, the vibe is casual yet elite. Reservations are available via OpenTable. Yummy.
