Our fishing is conducted on the pristine yet sensitive waters of the River Dever, a tributary to the internationally renowned River Test. I find the best way to fish Bullington is by stealth and observation. The water is exceptionally clear, and generally not too deep, so the fish are easy to spot, but by
the same token easy to spook!

Be up front, in the thick of the action, and watch the hounds work as they follow the trails across our country.

A bottle of the good stuff.
Every batch of Boodles Gin is made with labour and patience. It begins as a clean spirit distilled from British wheat. The liquid is then redistilled in a Carter Head copper still, which allows the botanicals to gradually infuse into the spirit.

Our unique recipe contains botanicals sourced from the finest growers around the world. Interestingly, Boodles Gin contains no citrus – a practical decision made by original distillers who expected a brilliant drink to include a slice of lemon or lime.

The Boodles recipe also contains a number of traditional herbs and spices, including nutmeg, sage, and rosemary.

These ingredients add a mellow but herbal quality to Boodles, which balances out the essential piney notes from juniper.

A further five ingredients round out the recipe and achieve a forthright but subtle spirit, suitable for any brilliant drinks – martinis, Boodles & tonics, bucks, or further mixology, for those so inclined.

"Attractive bright ruby red colour finged with garnet. The rich bouquet develops notes of fresh, ripe fruits (raspberries and fresh blackberries). Round and pleasant from first sip, the wine reveals a juicy, generous and aromatic palate. The well-balanced wine culminates in a savoury and fresh finish, revealing spicy notes."

Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut is a melting pot of aromas and flavours – a wonderfully rounded, generous champagne whose joie de vivre makes every moment more special. Ideal pairings are grapefruit, chicken breasts and young leeks!
