Our Journal

We write this as the world is in lockdown. Food, and in particular fresh fruit and vegetables, have become more difficult to get as supermarket supplies become erratic and struggle with meeting the increase in home deliveries.

During these times of uncertainty and lockdown, we have been working closely with the incredibly talented Paul Richardson, Deputy GM of The Coaching Inn Group to create a whole range of lockdown cocktails. All of which are easy to make (3 mins or less) and use ingredients which are easy to obtain.

When the COVID sitution unfolded during March 2020 there was an urgent requirement for hand sanitiser, as demand was significantly outstripping supply.

A key ingredient in sanitiser is high strength alcohol and so distilleries were in a position to help out.

What an amazing evening we had at our last event which sold out! Here’s another chance to experience The Ivy Norwich Brasserie and Wild Knight Distillery working together.

On Wednesday 14th August we were delighted to attend The Ivy Norwich Brasserie’s 1st birthday celebrations, with amazing canapés and Champagne orchestrated by Wayne, the General Manager, and attended by many of Norfolk’s finest guests.

We were delighted and honoured to have recently been awarded medals from The IWSC – The International Wine and Spirits Competition for our Boadicea® Gin – Classic edition and our Nelson’s Gold® caramelised English vodka, plus we received a starred medal for Nelson’s Gold from The Guild of Fine Food in their Great Taste Awards.

What an amazing evening we had thanks to The Ivy Norwich Brasserie. This SOLD OUT event attracted a delightful array of wonderful guests, some of whom were friends and others, new-to-be-friends!

In early July, The Morning Advertiser held an exciting evening in central London of cocktail showcases to announce the Top 50 UK Cocktail Bars

Our ultra-premium English vodka – Wild Knight® was chosen to be the only craft-distilled vodka brand present.

This year was the 10th anniversary of Imbibe Live – the trade event held in Olympia, London, aimed at sommeliers, buyers, managers, publicans, bartenders and every on/off trade in-between!

The Ivy Norwich Brasserie is delighted to host a special dinner and gin event in partnership with Boadicea Gin.

The evening will feature a three-course meal paired with bespoke cocktails created in collaboration with Boadicea Gin.

We were delighted that the cast of 'Knights of Music' enjoyed Wild Knight English vodka at their Wimbledon finale. Wild Knight was chosen by Phillip Schofield to celebrate the end of their 2017 UK tour.

Since 2013, the Red Lion in Barnes has been giving this much-overlooked buffet item (the sausage roll) the attention it deserves with the creation of the almost, nearly, infamous, Great Sausage Roll Off.  A bit like the X Factor meets Masterchef, it is an evening of crazy culinary pleasure, taken in the most seriously, light-hearted way.
