    Whilst having a quiet drink with my daughter a customer went behind the bar to make her friend a cocktail. The barman (I think his name is Ben) let the customer carry on making a mess. The customer then carried on drinking with her friend. She was talking quite loud swearing at her friend, at this stage two ladies left quite disgusted at the barman for allowing this to happen. This place is normally a nice place to relax. Kate, this sort of behaviour should not be allowed.

    We had booked a couple of places on the mixology course (28.01.2023). Unfortunately, it was postponed for a couple of weeks. As I had booked train tickets and accommodation for the night I decided that the wife and I would still go. We went to the gin palace for a couple of hours and tried a few of the cocktails. Kim was standing in for Kate and she was lovely. Very chatty and friendly. We are looking forward to going on 18 February for the mixology class.

    The best venue for a girls night out! We chose Kate’s gin palace for a reunion and it was so much fun. Beautifully designed, and delicious gin which is all handmade by Kate!

    Having work in the service sector for some time now so I know how tough it can be. Came across this recently and couldn’t recommend enough. It just so rare to meet a business owner with such love,care and attention in what she does. If its a personal touch your looking for on a special night out or even if your just looking for something a little different. I have another night booked already. Thank you Kate.

    I booked the tasting room last year to celebrate a birthday with my girlfriends. I wanted something different, and Kate’s gin palace was perfect! The tasting room has a real boutique feel, is beautifully styled and offers a unique, private drinking experience. Kate introduced each of her delicious gins, but was the perfect, unobtrusive host - so we had a fabulous night gossiping and giggling in the privacy of our own room. I would highly recommend a visit to the tasting room, I’ll definitely be going back!
