Delicious brew, locally made. The gentle gin-making giant behind it is a fine chap too, with a fantastic array of tweed jackets. You'll find him in the Shoreham area farmers markets, and he'll boggle... See more
Very interesting taste with hints of wild flowers and herbs. Good with Fevertree Mediterranean tonic and Schweppes Russchian. I found I liked it even without ice. Excellent service, and arrived quick... See more

We really love Slake and knowing its from a team of local people with locally foraged herbs makes us feel even better about drinking it. We've done some blind taste tests with it and its always our favourite. We've gifted it to many others now too, keep up the great work.

Mixed feelings
The delivery was excellent ,next day after ordering on line. However I ordered x2 50mls bottles and was sent x2 500mls bottles. I left an email and voicemail explaining the mistake. I left them outside and they were collected the next day and correct ones left. My (slight) upset is that I didn't get any acknowledgement or thanks for being honest and not keeping the large bottles which I could quite easily have done. It wouldn't have taken a minute to send an email.n
The gin is very nice though.

Hi Ruth,
Thanks for your review and indeed your honesty! Apologies if I didn't make that clear when we spoke. It's been a really busy spot recently, but I did manage to get to the bottom of what happened. I heard from another customer who ordered 2x 500ml bottles of Gin on the same day... You might guess where I am going with this! She unfortunately received your 2x 50ml instead! Needless to say I am pleased everyone has now been reunited with their respective Gin.
Thanks for getting in touch and have a lovely Christmas and New Year!
Best,
Tom

Ordered sample bottles-not available immediately and was politely informed of situation. Arrived about 2 weeks after request. Otherwise excellent. Might be an idea to see if could be stocked in Steyning-Sussex Produce and Bookshop hosted Gin evening recently-popular. several empty properties in our high street-how about a craft gin shop/bar/mini-distillery?

Thank you Mr Gould! It has been rather difficult to keep up with bottling and packaging miniatures this year, but I am glad we could get them too you eventually!
We can be found in the Sussex Produce Cafe from time to time, but I agree it would be great to be in the shop too! Do ask them, repeatedly if needed, when you pop in. It all helps the cause! 😁
I very much like the idea of a move to Steyning as I do a lot of foraging locally there. However, we are looking for a new premises, but it has to be somewhere we can also produce from, which can be a bit tricky to find in the High St. setting. Do drop me an email though if you have any ideas on suitable spots in the area!
Best,
Tom
