"What a great experience tour with such interesting stories about the history of gin and the owners! The gin tasting experience was very interesting and the gins were just amazing. A lovely evening"
Nicholas
"What an amazing gem to spend Saturday afternoon. Booked Gin Tasting which was fun, Angie is absolutely amazing. They accommodated even our last minute request to have some tapas which was absolutely delicious. Ended up spending over 5 hours drinking gin and eating. Amanda was as amazing with drinks and dealing with us being slightly on tipsy side, well not our fault they gave us gin to drink! Loved it and will 100% return very soon."
Ales
"Despite the windy conditions, had a very interesting 'tasting experience' and learnt a lot about Gin and the 'Gin Kitchen' story. Also had some Tapas after the tasting which tasted great and the staff were very friendly and helpful too."
