Soap Opera Superstar Has NEAT Idea For Gin Renaissance

One of the country’s best known and most loved soap opera stars will be visiting the South West’s leading four-star hotel where he’ll talk about how he has developed his own brand of gin.


Adam Woodyatt, who is one of the longest cast members of the hit small screen TV show that depicts life in London’s east end, will be making a special one-off visit to Cadbury House in Congresbury, North Somerset on 13th April.

At a special afternoon tea, Adam will chat about his gin journey while guests will be served a number of drinks using the soap opera star’s NEAT Gin, which he and his wife Beverley have developed just under the last two years.

He’ll also provide some ideas on how to make the perfect G&T along with a number of other gin-based cocktails.

Available at Cadbury House, NEAT Gin is an extremely versatile London Dry Gin, that contains eight botanicals which have been carefully balanced to work in harmony, giving a nose that is both floral and woody. The mouth feel is smooth and creamy giving notes of citrus and spice with a lengthy finish.

Adam said: “Our story is quite a simple one. We just wanted to make gin."

“Beverley and I found a 15th Century recipe and used that as our starting point. There was a list of botanicals but no quantities and was like a jigsaw without a picture. We tried different combinations, constantly tasting and testing until the eleven botanicals became eight."

“It’s great that we can now share our journey with other gin enthusiasts and I’m looking forward to visiting Cadbury House and meeting lots of guests to chat and talk about our experience."

“Gin, of course, has a long history with London, but it was, in fact, the Dutch who are thought to have really invented the spirit. It was in the late 1600s that the first gin craze really took off in London and was a period where a pint of gin was cheaper than a pint of beer!"

“Luckily today things are a little calmer however gin has certainly had something of a renaissance and is now viewed as the bedrock for a huge range of cocktails and of course the classic G&T.”

Mehmet Kandemir, General Manager at Cadbury House added: “Adam’s passion for gin as well as his new brand is clear to see, and we’re delighted to welcome him and his wife to Cadbury House."

“We’re always on the lookout for new products to serve our guests here at Cadbury House and NEAT Gin is certainly ahead of the curve when it comes to something that is not only new but incredibly tasty."

“This is the perfect event for anyone who is not only a fan of Adam but enjoys gin, however we have a limited number of spaces so anyone who wants to come along will need to book their space quickly.”

The NEAT Gin Afternoon Tea with Adam Woodyatt is taking place on Saturday 13th April 2019 and starts at 2pm. Cost per ticket is £21.95. To book a space please call 01934 834343 (option 1) or email info@cadburyhouse.com
