We had a lovely morning making and sampling fudge after we were given a family ‘fudge making experience’ as a present. Lee and the boys in the shop were very friendly and keen for us to have a go creaming and loafing the salted caramel fudge. It was amazing to watch the whole process and join in with all the steps. It’s the children got involved and we were able to sample all the different flavours along the way. Would highly recommend!

A distinctive collection of 20th century art and a gallery exhibiting contemporary and modern art arranged in this modest private house - now part of the uni. Wonderful.

Absolutely delightful place. Underneath the pleasant shop is a 'smoking lounge' with nice comfortable Chesterfield sofas and chairs and of course a humidor. This was a special event (although reasonably priced at £30pp) where we got to taste x 2 cigars and a lovely whisky and a very nice rum. Really interesting and friendly hosts and great conversation from the other participants. Would definitely go there again and bought some cigars to keep me going until my next visit. Highly recommended.
