We like to think there’s something for everyone here at The Cork Dork, having received many fond comparisons since we opened, from a candle lit Parisian cellar bar to your Nan’s living room! Whatever it reminds you of, you’ll be warmly welcomed at our cosy wine bar and bottle shops in the heart of Chalkwell and Rayleigh High Street. 

We have an extensive wine list with over 170 wines, all of which we proudly serve by the glass. To compliment our wines we serve cheese and charcuterie boards, which have been carefully curated for your enjoyment.

We are very dog friendly at The Cork Dork and welcome small and large dogs with open arms and lots of doggie treats for all. 

Children are also welcome at The Cork Dork, but unlike the dogs, they have a curfew. No children after 7pm, thank you for your understanding. 

We look forward to welcoming you soon, 

Danielle and Benedict
