Exciting Changes at 19 Fore Street!

We’re thrilled to announce that The Ginger Peanut is transforming into The Bampton Townhouse!

Since 2017, we’ve been grateful for your support, and now, as part of an exciting rebrand, Nick Payne of Corks and Cru wine shop will take over the entire building.

In 2020, Nick opened his celebrated wine shop Corks & Cru downstairs, and with so much local love, he’s now expanding into the whole building! From the wine shop to his popular pop-up deli, everything will now be brought in-house to offer the perfect Gastro-stay experience.

💬 What does this mean for your booking?
No worries – your booking is fully secured, and if you've already paid, your room is all set! We’ve transferred your reservation to Nick’s new booking system, so you don’t need to do anything. The Ginger Peanut website will stay live for a couple of weeks during the transition, and soon you’ll see The Bampton Townhouse pop up on booking platforms.

📍What’s New?
The Bampton Townhouse will offer even more wine space, local craft beers, delicious cheeses, and plenty of other treats from Nick’s deli – all available on-site for you to enjoy! It’s a wonderful new chapter for our historic building and an exciting step forward for Bampton.

We can’t wait for you to experience this transformation with your new host!

A big thank you for being part of our journey from The Ginger Peanut to The Bampton Townhouse! We wish Nick all the success as he makes the space his own, and we hope you enjoy your stay!

For questions or concerns, reach out to Nick and his team at [email protected] or call 01398 392 302.
