The Greatest G&T s in London Tatler CHOOSE TO INFUSE Our 50-strong cocktail list is a selection of our signature cocktails, curated by our Chief Booze Engineer Mr P. J. Hobbs. His masterful way with flavours involves infusing spirits with herbs, spices and fresh fruits to create drinks that guests will love. We don t deliver the same old, same old when it comes to drinks menus. The Camm & Hooper way is all about innovation and personalisation. Never ones to follow the crowd, our Chief Booze Engineer, Patrick Hobbs and the team choose to infuse. Taking a few of our favourite spirit brands, they imbue them with herbs, spices and fresh fruit in the booze lab to create some truly special drinks. From the booze lab, our creations have been inspired by everything from childhood visits to the sweet shop, to dancing in the streets at Notting Hill Carnival. It doesn t always go to plan but for every cloud, there s a silver lining. While toying with Johnnie Walker Black, sugar, butter and bitters to create toffee scotch, we accidentally burnt the sugar. But our meddling had actually added a delicious depth to the recipe, and so our Burnt Toffee Scotch Old Fashioned was born. Never the afterthought, our drinks are the centrepiece of a Camm & Hooper event. Our clients can pick their favourite unique concoction to create superb cocktails, mixers or simply serve over ice at their event. 14 GET IN TOUCH TO FIND OUT MORE / 020 3763 7429 15

HOW WE GIVE BACK At Camm & Hooper, we re proud to support charities close to our heart in many different ways. Every year we host a fundraising event for children s charities, The Triathlon Trust and Starlight Children s Foundation. Last year s event at Banking Hall, was hosted in conjunction with Paralympic silver medallist Lauren Steadman, and raised more than 12,000. Six Storeys provides the home for charity Give Out, a charity raising funds for LGBTQI causes worldwide. Funding activists and their organisations around the world to promote and protect the rights of LGBTQI people, our Soho venue is the location for their donor and board meetings. Filanthropy* organise brilliantly fun parties that cultivate collaboration for social change. At the events, hosted in Tanner Warehouse, three social entrepreneurs discuss how they would spend 1,000. The aim is to then help each project reach that target. We also like to get out and about, and have taken the Camm & Hooper experience to the NHS Whittington Hospital. We provided catering for patients attending a conference on cancer treatments run by Macmillan and look forward to making this an annual tradition. As a charity close to our hearts, Macmillan is now one of our chosen charities that we ll support throughout the year. We ll cater for the yearly Support Conference which gives aid to those who need it most. We ll also get involved in the World s Biggest Coffee Morning that happens every September and continue to make dontations and help raise money throughout the year. 74 GET IN TOUCH TO FIND OUT MORE / 020 3763 7429 75
