What does the Great British Pub mean to you?

We are lucky enough to live in a country with a wonderful variety of pubs: gastropubs, pubby pubs, town pubs, city pubs, seaside pubs, in-the-middle-of-nowhere pubs and village pubs just like The Duke of Wellington in East Horsley.  A beautiful 500-year-old building re-modelled in Victorian times by local landowner Lord Lovelace and named after the … Continued

Over the last six months the winter drinks list has been our focus – meaning lots of research, planning and of course tasting… After all that hard work, this week it … Continued

Sloe Gin – first attempt!

As a gin enthusiast, and lover of all things ‘homemade’ I decided 2017 would be the year to make my first batch of Sloe Gin.
