The distillery
Come in for a bottle, walk the physic garden, or spend a Saturday afternoon tasting with us.
14 Physick Row, Beverley HU17 · Thursday to Sunday, 11:00–18:00
Number fourteen, since 1884
William Harland opened a dispensing chemist here in 1884 and his family ran it until 1979. After that it mended shoes, sold wool, and stood empty for six years with the mahogany drawers still on the walls.
Imogen spent a decade dispensing medicines in Hull; Ravi was head gardener for the town’s parks. We bought the building in 2018, opened the doors in 2019, and still find the odd brown medicine bottle when we dig a new bed.
Two ways to spend an afternoon
Saturdays, 14:00 · 90 minutes · April to December
A walk through the beds with Ravi, the still room with Imogen, then three gins poured neat and long in the old cellar. You take home a 20cl bottle filled from the cask.
£28 a person
Thursdays, 18:00 · 3 hours · up to eight people
Pick from forty botanicals in the drawers, run your recipe through a little copper still of your own, and leave with a labelled 70cl bottle and the recipe card to reorder it.
£95 a person
Booking and enquiries
Imogen answers every request herself, usually within a day. Nothing is charged until you confirm.
Planning a visit
The Cross Garth car park is a four-minute walk; Physick Row itself is cobbled and pedestrian. Beverley station is a short walk away, about 12 minutes.
The shop floor, the still room and the garden paths are step-free. The cellar tasting room is down eight steps, and on request we hold any tasting upstairs instead.
Children are welcome in the shop and the garden. Tastings and the distil-your-own evening are for over-18s only, and we ask for ID at the door.
Yes, in the shop and the garden. The still room stays dog-free because of the heat and the copper.
Move or cancel up to 72 hours before for a full refund. After that we can move you to another date once, free of charge.
