What Our Guests Say
"Make your own Gin they said...and what fun we had!
Platter to start was sensational, a couple of pre tasting guns to get us in the mood. We then learnt about the gin business and proceeded to make our very own gin. Such good fun and great hosts Thanks Paul for an excellent gin making experience 5*"
