Our first ever (but highly requested) Beer Tasting Evening. Join us for an intimate, relaxed evening exploring a brilliantly diverse selection of brews. We will be sampling a curated variety of beers—featuring local Essex favourites, independent up-and-comers, and historic global imports. Together, we'll journey through everything from classic, hoppy IPAs to complex Lambic sour beers, and everything in between. Whether you're a casual beer drinker or a seasoned connoisseur, there's a seat at the table for you. What’s Included: Curated Beer Flight: A guided tasting of diverse, handpicked beer styles. Artisan Grazing Board: A delicious selection of cheeses, meats, and snacks to pair with your brews throughout the night.
