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

Cheers to that Alan! Regrettably we've now run out of 500ml bottles of the 2017 Hedgerow vintage, but looking like it will be a good harvest this year, so should be plenty again in time for Christmas!

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 quickly. Feels like a personal service! I like the fact that ingredients are locally sourced and that gin has arrived in Shoreham-by-sea. Will definitely order again, though I am a slow drinker!

Hi Andrew,
I just looked through our despatches and if it's not arrived then unfortunately it must have got lost in the post! Unfortunately, Royal Mail doesn't include a confirmation of reciept, which means we're none the wiser unless we hear from back from customers. So, thanks for letting us know and I'll get in touch with you directly to get this sorted for you. I'm really sorry this one hasn't gone to plan for you!
All the best,
Tom
Edit: Pleased to say, second time's a charm and the gin has now safely made it's way to London!

Thanks Tina, glad you're enjoying it!
Reassuringly expensive - and of matching quality
Only just opened my bottle of no 4 which we’re teaming with bitter lemon and a dash of lime. Smooth and elegant.
