Today is the first day of Autumn and, despite today's welcome sunshine, the weather has certainly changed. The nights are drawing in and we are craving open fires, warm blankets and home comforts to get us in the seasonal spirit!The early crops of apples and blackberries have ensured a fabulous fresh batch of delights for our autumnal treat - our Apple and Blackberry Gin. Made with fresh, local apples (often from our own trees) and perfectly fragrant and juicy blackberries, we think this beautifully blended gin is a gem. It is perfect in our cocktail of the month... The Fordington Bramble Fizz...Fill a cocktail shaker (or a large jam jar will do) with a handful of ice. Pour over 50ml Fordington Apple and...

With the change in temperature, our thoughts turn to being warm and cosy and our tastes change accordingly. We seem to naturally seek out flavours that suit the shift in season and our thoughts turn to warming roasts, crumbles and pies - comfort food at its best. British produce is shining and a favourite seasonal activity is delving into our hedgerows - picking blackberries on an autumn afternoon must be one of...
The sun was shining and there was a palpable sense of freedom and excitement in the air when we took our range of Fordington Gin to last weekend’s excellent Sturminster Cheese festival. Like many, we are a huge fan of all things cheese! Even better if they are locally made by passionate artisans - I couldn’t celebrate the cheese festival without a particular mention of Carol from the Cornish Cheese Company, a fabulous company making fantastic cheese and a great new friend. It was a joy to be there - massive thanks to the herculean efforts of the festival committee and its troupe of volunteers for organising such a wonderful show. Thank you also to all of our customers, new...
