What you should expect:

Cocktail Party, Whiskey Tasting, Noshes and Celebration

Food will be curated by Chef Mark Bestmann

Cash Bar – Perfectly Curated Cocktail Menu based around everything that makes Joe Happy. Just kidding – that would be a really small cocktail menu. The menu will make us happy which will probably make Joe not so Jolly, which also makes us happy.
