GIN MARE AND OYSTERS AT THE RICHMOND
Gin and oysters are a classic duo, but this new pairing at the Richmond isn’t as traditional as it sounds. Gin Mare (pronounced mar-ray, FYI) is a little different from your typical London Dry, with fragrant botanical notes of olive, thyme, basil and rosemary. Until the end of November, you can try three complimentary gin cocktails with a trio of The Richmond’s best oysters for just £10. What are you waiting for?
