Welcome to our “Theatre of Gin”

Gin’s meteoric rise in popularity as part of the craft beer and spirits movement saw Britain’s buying 83 million bottles in 2019. We may not sell quite that much, but we do offer a fabulous choice of independently produced gins here in the food hall.

Making gin is a relatively straight forward process which means boutique distilleries are able to concentrate more of their time and efforts into honing their balance of botanicals to add the basic humble juniper berry to achieve their down unique flavour. Small batch distilling also gives rise to the possibility of experimentation leading to innovative and exciting new combinations that keep this ancient tipple moving forward with the times.

We have sourced several very locally distilled gins for you, plus a few from slightly further afield that we feel bring something special to our impressively diverse array.

To heighten a sense of drama, we present our gin selection in our custom built “Theatre of Gin”.

Cheers!

Griffiths Brothers Original Gin

Our award-winning original gin is clean and smooth, and the depth of flavour and complexity is exceptional and well-balanced. We have found the ideal balance between decipherable character and classy subtlety.

When tasted neat, the flavour develops and takes you on a journey from zesty citrus and fragrant orange blossom and elderflower, to herbaceous and earthy notes, from bay laurel and liquorice root. Best enjoyed chilled and over ice or in a G&T with orange peel and a fresh bay leaf.

Griffiths Brothers No. 3

Super smooth light gin that captures subtle flavours of the Caribbean. Fresh cut lemon, lime and pineapple combine with juniper to produce a beautifully balanced gin. Perfectly offset by the warm spice notes of cassia, ginger and nutmeg from St Lucia. Rounded off with hints coconut to give a superb finish.
