Sprout Bar challenges the idea that cocktails should always taste the same, celebrating the natural variation of produce and the changing seasons.

Led by Bar Director Will Meredith and Bar Manager Dominic Royle, this session explores how differences in ingredients, from the sweetness of tomatoes to the intensity of seasonal herbs, can inspire creativity rather than be corrected.

Guests will learn how to design evolving menus, highlight produce-driven flavours, and communicate this approach to their own guests, embracing variation as a strength rather than a problem.

Much like winemakers honour vintages, Sprout reframes inconsistency as a key element of hospitality, offering practical insights into creating dynamic and thoughtful cocktails that reflect the rhythms of nature.
