Hoofing Evening!
Recently attended Gin, Tonic and Tales and cannot recommend the night enough. Fantastic setting, stories, food and drinks throughout. Richie delved into some incredibly emotive topics and had the audience gripped throughout! Great value for money.

Gin and Tales - an inspiring experience
Upon arrival with my partner and work colleagues, we were immediately greeted warmly by Luke and Richie with a food board for then table and a great selection of gins. We listened intently to Richie’s stories. They were fascinating and inspiring, offering a unique perspective of his career in the military and his transition to civilian life as a successful business owner with his friend Luke. A really enjoyable evening with a delicious selection of gins.

Fantastic and insightful evening
Amazing experience learning about the sacrifice made from the brave through the 1st hand experiences of Richie. The audience were gripped and in awe throughout the whole evening and would highly recommend. A fantastic setting to host such an event Luke and the team were great hosts. Thanks for sharing!
