In Nov 2018 Slake Spirits had the great pleasure of being invited to the House of Commons to showcase our Sussex Gin alongside the very best of the county’s produce to MPs and their aides.

The Taste of West Sussex event was well-attended and it was a pleasure to introduce Slake to our local MP, Tim Loughton, Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Liz Truss and 2018 Masterchef winner Kenny Tutt and his lovely wife, Lucy. Meeting so many passionate advocates and champions for food & drink really made the trip for us and we’re delighted to have been chosen to represent Sussex Gin. We even made South Today. Thanks Tim, Yum Yum indeed! #cincinslakegin
