Dorchester Experience Days

A unique gift that we would never have expected. A very enjoyable afternoon and excellent service provided by all of the staff involved. Ideal gift for all those who have fond memories of the age of steam

Luca, our host, was very friendly and knowledgeable. We were given 6 different rums of varying flavour and went through the tasting notes. An interesting and different experience for the weekend.

Ewan was fantastic as a guide and we learnt a lot whilst having a great time.

Steven wss so.polite and professional he made our afternoon tea experience a pleasure. Sandwiches scones cream and jam delicious, and cakes yummy. Altogether a lovely afternoon at The Grand Hotel.

It was so easy to book and such a lovely present ??

Excellent.A nice selection of beers and a succulent variety hamburger

Our host in the Highbury Brewhouse and Kitchen was Moses - very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. After a brief overview of the brewing process (many of the beers being brewed on-site), we sat down to 5 pairings of whisky shots and half-pint beers, ranging from pale ales, blondes, stouts, single/blended Scotch, Irish, Bourbon and Japanese. With a very good memory, Moses was able to talk us through the brewing process for each, the history and the reasoning for pairing them together (something you may not normally do). There was just the two of us on this experience, so he was able to give us his full attention for the duration. There was an optional tasting sheet to fill in (we decided to enjoy the experience without documenting!) but much discussion with Moses along the way. Following this, we had a decent quality burger and chips from the menu. Excellent value for money, and a well run event. Big thanks to Moses!

Was a fabulous meal.staff were lovely. Couldn't fault anything

I was pleasantly surprised. I wasn’t sure what to expect but the lady was very informative about beers and we actually learnt something having been beer drinkers for far too long!
