The spirit to our menu

Our flavourist, Zoe Burgess

Our cocktails are designed to spark conversation. Created by acclaimed drinks developer Zoe Burgess, founder of Atelier Pip and recognised by Condé Nast Traveller as one of the tastemakers changing London's cocktail scene, each serve brings together carefully considered flavours, a touch of spice, and something local. Think fragrance, with a nod of classic spirits
