Once each of the guests present has created and received their blend of gin you'll all be given one last cocktail, usually a Martini if you’re feeling up to it, and we’ll also present you with 2 miniature bottles of our personal blend to take away, which of course went on to become Portobello Road Gin. It was here that, after discovering the lay of the distilling land and nine months of experimentation, Portobello Road Gin was born. Once you’ve met King Henry, our illustrious 400L copper pot still and his diminutive roommate, Copernicus The Fourth (don’t ask about the other three), your gin instructor will explain to you the processes involved in creating gin and give a quick overview of the many rules and regulations which gin producers are obliged to abide.

Allow our incredible team, led by Executive Chef Peter Breckon, to elevate your Christmas party to an experience you won’t forget.

Taking the idea of a gin for the King of Corsica as our jumping off point we decided to create a gin inspired by the botanicals of Corsica and the surrounding Mediterranean area. Let us know if we need instructions for where to find your house or want us to leave your wine in the shed!

It's an old-style London Dry Gin, containing traditional botanicals and spices, that harks back to the gins of yesteryear.We offer a wide range of plates that are accomodated to those with specific allergies or dietary restrictions. Once sufficiently briefed, your Ginstructor will guide you through to one of our Blending Rooms to nose your way through an eclectic range of pure botanical distillates and choosing your favourites to create your own bespoke blend of gin.

Perfect Serve: Pair with Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic Water and garnish with a slice of lemon and a sprig of rosemary. With a 3 Course Set Christmas Menu as well as a Feasting Menu and Small Plates Menu for larger groups, your guests will be sure to have a meal to set the festive period with decadence. Book to stay with us and enjoy our classic but eclectic rooms with their unparalleled views of Portobello Road, listen to our Rough Trade-curated vinyl playlists on the record player and sip sharing Martinis between the sheets. Sessions last approximately 3 hours and you will need to bring your voucher with you on the day to redeem entry to your session. For something born on a whim, Portobello Road Gin has quickly established itself as a favourite amongst connoisseur consumers, bartenders and gin fans everywhere.On the front of the palate, Portobello Road Gin has a generous slug of juniper, the mid-palate has a sustained, fresh citrus character from our use of lemon, bitter orange and coriander, which then develops into a sweet peppery finish, achieved by the use of liquorice and nutmeg.
