The forecast? Hotter days, longer evenings, and a serious craving for gin.
As summer rolls into town, it’s the perfect excuse (not that you need one) to explore our gin selection. Whether you’re a classic G&T lover or enjoy something a little more adventurous, we’ve got a pour with your name on it.
After all, some things just belong together: summer and sunshine, fish and chips, trains and Paddington Station… and you with a refreshing gin in hand.
Pop in, cool down, and let the summer sipping begin! 🍋✨

Folc’s Pinot Noir Rosé, produced and bottled in England, is the perfect accompaniment for the English summer… best enjoyed in your nearest Fuller’s garden. As part of our English Wine Month celebrations, you can buy a small glass of any English Wine for £7.50 throughout June.
Plus, working with brands such as .folc – who have developed more lightweight packaging while working hard to promote soil health and biodiversity as part of their winemaking philosophy – means we can offer you delicious wine that has less impact on the planet.

The art vs The artist
Warning: this chicken burger may cause serious menu jealousy.
Crispy chicken, juicy flavour, melty goodness and just the right amount of “Can I try it ? I’ll have one bite only”… until the whole burger mysteriously disappears.
Perfect for lunch, dinner, post-travel.
Come hungry, leave happy… and maybe slightly obsessed.
Available everyday from 12pm.
