Caf\u00e9<\/h2>\n

Named as such because the view from the caf\u00e9 looks over the still house of the distillery so you can truly watch the magic unfold.<\/p>\n

Enjoy a bite to eat after your tour or meet friends over drinks. Treat yourself to a delicious stone baked pizza in front of the roaring fire.<\/p>\n

In the summer months, the terrace outside of the incredible building opens for gorgeous alfresco dining in the Cotswold sunshine.<\/p>\n
