Fro, a bar manager at Tom Kerridge’s Two Michelin Pub The Hand and Flowers, who had worked in the group for 14 years, launched his premium spiced rum, Fr’um, in August 2023.

Most recently Fr’um had been awarded a gold medal in IWSC (International Wine and Spirit Competition) earning a whooping 95 points.

One of the judges of this competition, well-known Rum Ambassador, Ian Burrell, said: "Vibrant aromas of smokey pineapple and spice fill the senses, leading to a palate of well-integrated textures surrounded by elegant subtle chilli a harmonious and soft finish of tropical fruitiness.’’

The six-course menu, priced at £185, will feature dishes such as Kayak Bass Ceviche paired with Fr’um Daiquiri, Saxon Chicken Bois Boudran and Fr’um Manhattan as well as Chocolate Tart, Mango & Passionfruit Ice Cream with Fr’um Old Fashioned.

Tickets for the event could be purchased through The Oarsman or directly on 07596 517 189.
