It's not every day you get collected in London Cab in Sydney! That's exactly what happened to me this week when I had a sneak preview of the Hayman's Gin Supper Club held at The Lord Dudley. This was a night of Gin tasting and food pairing. The good news is that you, too, can enjoy this unique Hayman's Gin and food pairing at The Lord Dudley from 1 - 31 October.

Hayman's Gin and The Lord Dudley teams have created the perfect blend of gin cocktails expertly paired to English style fare which will be on offer in the Dudley’s newly renovated Garden restaurant – a whimsical English garden oasis set within the basement of this iconic British pub.

According to James Hayman, co-founder and fifth-generation distiller, it’s an exciting time to be rolling out this collaboration to Sydneysiders as Australia’s love of gin continues to soar to an all-time high. Well I certainly don't mind a nice G&T especially in summer, so it was interesting to learn more about Gin and its ingredients from James.

Since 1863 five generations of the Hayman’s family have acted as custodians of the English Gin style – providing an unbroken lineage dating back to the original gin boom. Throughout this 150 years, they have been perfecting the art of distilling traditional English Gin styles using family techniques and processes handed down through the generations. The family’s story is entwined with history of gin itself – from the current family-members’ great-great-grandfathers’ origins as a 19th Century pharmacist- distiller through to the more recent introduction of their flagship small-batch London Dry and Old Tom gins. Today the Hayman family are the longest serving Gin distilling family in England headed by 5th generation family members, James and Miranda Hayman.
