Absolutely lovely experience. Go to a number of The Nest evenings and had the pleasure in seeing the New Year in at the New Year’s Eve party. Great service, the staff are lovely. Great Gin & Atmosphere. Food by either the Flying Pig Pizza or The Humble Kitchen Gourmet Burgers fantastic. Well worth a visit!

Oh What a Night, (Oh What a Night it Really Was Such a Night)! That’s how the song describes it and that’s exactly our experience as 5 old friends celebrated a milestone birthday! We were looked after from start to finish. There was a short intro into how Cuckoo Gin originated followed by a mixology class, masterpieced by our genial host and his assistants. Three outstanding cocktails were carefully negotiated with clear instructions and all the ingredients and paraphernalia provided. Our table was in uproar as we missed a couple of steps but this didn’t phase the young gentleman at all. In fact an assistant was on hand to guide us old fuddy-duddies through the process. A few nibbles were on offer too. The evening concluded with a “mix-off” between 2 teams of 2 people which raised the roof. Great fun, great drinks and wonderful staff. Products available to purchase and take home to continue our cocktail-making skills. Just sorry that we didn’t catch any names to give them individual praise. You won’t be disappointed if you give it a try. In fact I bet you’ll be looking for more events they hold!

Attended the amazing gin workshop. The young team of Jack, Chloe and Kiera did a fantastic job. Very knowledgeable and their personalities were suited to the job. The pace of the day was perfect. The gin making was fun and informative. The gin tasting, wow, you get 5 gins (doubles if you wish) which were all delicious. Now to get some decent tonic and enjoy our creations. Thank you again.

Jack and Jennifer were brilliant hosts for the Gin Workshop. The family had bought tickets for Christmas and we all had a brilliant time. It was informational about the Brindle Distillery and how Cuckoo gin become what it is today as well as showing their workshop of how they distill their gin in Maggie. With it being the workshop, we also made our own bottle of gin each which was great fun. We picked the botanicals, weighed them out and got to work distilling and bottling - such a great experience. Not to mention having G&Ts throughout the experience - I would say ‘sampling’ but double measures of each gin with tonic was how it went down! 🤣 We all left extremely merry let’s say. Fantastic experience, would highly recommend - thank you Brindle Distillery ✌🏼

Excellent night at Brindle Distillery for the ‘Live @ the nest night’ with artist Steve Walton! Superb atmosphere, delicious cocktails and drinks and a top atmosphere. The staff there are lovely, always coming round checking your if needing drinks or nibbles from the great menu they have on offer. Steve Walton was exceptional, what a fantastic set! 3 full hours of music. Definitely going to book here again!!

a fantastic night attended with friends. Live music, good food and excellent gin as always. Location and facilities amazing. Thank you for a good night Mark and the Cuckoo Team

We attended the first night of the Nestival and it was fabulous. We love cuckoo but had no idea just how spectacular it would be. From booking to arriving the communication was excellent. On arrival we were totally blown away by the organisation and attention to detail. There was lots of seating, great food outlets fantastic music and fabulous bar staff. All in all a fabulous night - we will be back Thank you.

Have been to many events at the next and all are amazing . Nestival was a great event with great live bands, a good selection of food and drink stalls and of course fabulous gin cocktails. Hope this is repeated next year. I just wish we had gone for the full weekend

We have been going to Brindle Distillery for 5 years now. It is simply just an absolute one of a kind in our area and will never be beaten. From amazing friendly staff, to brilliantly planned events and award winning delicious spirits...it really is the place to be! We have been to many a evening drink, parties, afternoon coffees and New Years events and have had the most incredible time. The recent 'Nestival' event was fantastic and we felt so lucky to be able to attend. It was full of happy people having fun, staff working their absolute socks off, bands and artists, local businesses, fab food vendors...the list goes on. We really hope there will be many many more to come. Well done Brindle Distillery, we love it with you!

I attended the first Nestival on the Friday with friends and on the Saturday with my partner. The organisation of the event was top class and was exactly what I expected from the team. The live music/food/guest beers were superb and the gin was top notch as always. The staff worked tirelessly throughout the 2 days, nothing was too much trouble for them. All in all the weekend was perfect and I'm already looking forward to Nestival 24. Well done to Mark and the team for putting on such a great event for the local community. Long may it continue 😊
