Dorchester Experience Days

I treated my school friend of 76 years We were at boarding school together for 10 years 1950 to 1958

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.

Great afternoon spent at the Brewhouse & Kitchen - Poole on a beer masterclass for my birthday. 8 beers / lagers including a German smoked beer, a tour of the microbrewery, a fully informative session and a tasty burger meal to soak up the alcohol! Highly recommended. Thank you Sophie & Ewan for a memorable afternoon.

Lovely location by the Thames at Marlow. Friendly staff with 5 delicious courses served in an unhurried fashion.If you enjoy Indian cooking this is the place for a heightened experience.

From start to finish, dining at Galvin La Chappelle was a wonderful experience. Food and service were top class

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 Xmas gift from our children..Weather was perfect and the whole experience was so enjoyable.Food wad delicious and the staff were so helpful..

The day started at 10am with hot drinks and an intro to the day. It wasn't long before we were enjoying bacon sandwiches and our first taster. The Head Brewer was passionate and informative, inviting us to be as involved or not as we liked in making a batch of IPA throughout the day. As we this took place we were given regular samples of the various beers/IPA's/Cask Ales/Porters to try. A substantial lunch was provided, along with our choice of 5l 5keg to take away at the end. I would definitely leave the car behind as the opportunity to try each beer was substantial.
