    The hole farm is a awesome experience a great place to take your family. GINOLOGIST has great stuff compliment. The ambience is top class. With a lot of drink options as well as non-alcoholic. But be prepared for the cost it's not for people on a tight budget. The market has a bit of everything and the kids will have a fabulous time on the greens.

    This is the second time we have been to the Ginologist Sunday Jazz sessions and while the atmosphere is a perfect Sunday afternoon experience, the service this time was lacking. We felt as though they were unprepared. Some staff recognized us from the precious time and very kindly assisted us.

    Lovely relaxing venue. Gin is not normally my vibe but went because my guest likes gin. Large range of cocktails and G&T's available (inc most as non alcoholic). Really enjoyed my chilli/orange G&T and the cheese board. Highly recommend for sunny lazy day (only outside area at present) but do book as not a big venue.
