Gosnells, London’s only meadery, recently launched a bar and tasting room upstairs at the Coal Rooms that offers a unique way for people to experience its products. The space serves Original and Vintage meads alongside an ever-changing menu of British gastronomy.
Gosnells Upstairs at Coal Rooms gives people the chance to try experimental ferments such as hibiscus and barrel-aged varieties, as well as non-alcoholic options. For those who are looking to try a bit of everything, a Gosnells flight is also available. Some of the food that can be enjoyed with the mead include potatoes, cheese, sausages and butter pudding.
To complement the food and drinks that it offers, the Gosnells Upstairs at Coal Rooms bar also offers activities like a mead masterclass, as well as weekly tours of the one-of-a-kind meadery.
