Gin
We've selected a combination of household names and local distillers to bring you over 50 gins for you to sample featuring the likes of Bombay Sapphire (Hampshire), Hooting Owl (Yorkshire), Spirit of Trent (Newark) & Shining Cliff (Derby) to name a few.
Each gin featured has it's perfect pairing listed in our menu - but of course you're welcome to go rogue and pair each gin with whatever you like! This is your time to experiment with it!

Cider
Over 40 ciders have made it to this year's menu - that's 20 a day to try - probably a bad plan as this is a weekend to remember!
There's local produce from around the area, but let's face it the bulk of the good stuff is coming over from the West Country. You've got standard draught, still boxed and bottled offerings available. We'll even pour a load of the stuff in our frozen slushie machine - who doesn't want to try a frozen cider slushie?

Food
Our resident kitchen Snap & Dabble will be in the place serving a selection of burgers, pizzas and sides throughout the event. There are also plenty of local resturants and takeaways close to the venue - just remember that no food purchased outside of the venue is permitted inside the venue.
