The journey of gin from it`s origins to our Buddha`s Gin Garden is a long one. It comes to us from the 17th century Dutch pharmacy shelves, through the trenches of English soldiers fighting in the Low Countries through all the levels of English society being in love with it. The journey of gin improvement is still going on today. Over the years gin has gone many changes; improving both quality and taste. Starting from its humble juniper infusion origins to today’s standard of fine gin, which contains a minimum of six to ten different botanicals.
In the summer of 2016 this love for fine gin made us rethink our gin menu and decide that we will serve our customers the best by opening a gin bar. The idea was to give our customers the opportunity to taste most of the different flavours of botanicals. Having the enthusiasm of our customers and the popularity of our all the time growing selection helped us reach an amazing number of over a 100 different gins, improving and widening our range every day.
In the quest to providing the perfect G&T experience. We choose to be the only place in town to use only fresh fruits, herbs and spices from our own gin garden to garnish and flavour you drink. Coupled with a wide a range of high quality tonic mixers to compliment your perfect gin and tonic.
