    The food here was fabulous. We shared a charcuterie board and then a few very tasty pizzas. We all had different drinks and everyone enjoyed them. I wanted to try something different and the young man working there, listened to what I like, then proceeded to make me a wonderful gin cocktail. The prices were great too. This distillery is hidden away in Grovedale, but I'd recommend it in a heartbeat

    We enjoyed a really pleasant few hours working our way through the menu, both food and drinks! The pizzas are tasty and filling, the Camembert was delicious. This is a nice little bolt hole tucked away with welcoming hosts and is a great way to relax. It’s superbly appointed and hopefully will be supported.
