Here at Quayside we do all manner of things. Makin Here at Quayside we do all manner of things. Making gin. Making memories. And tonight a product launch!! You’ll be seeing much more of this in the new year #exeter but for now, tonight’s focus group is here to refine the final details - what could it be?!? 💕😎🤷‍♂️
A little blustery on Exmouth seafront today, but a A little blustery on Exmouth seafront today, but a good day to collect seaweed for our Exmouth Gin. 🌊 It’s one of the ingredients we forage by hand, right here on the coast, before bringing it back to Quayside Distillery. There’s something lovely about knowing exactly where an ingredient came from, even when you have to brave the wind to get it! Come down to the distillery and try Exmouth Gin for yourself soon. 🍸
Sunday lunch is coming to the water… 🍽️🍂 From 1st Sunday lunch is coming to the water… 🍽️🍂 From 1st November, there’ll be a new reason to gather your favourite people around a table at Quayside. Think Sunday lunch aboard our floating pontoon, with a clear roof and sides to keep those lovely canal views, and heating to keep things cosy. Autumn sunshine or rain rippling across the water — settle in and let us take care of lunch. We’re getting everything ready, and we’ll be sharing the transformation, a few tempting menu previews and the moment bookings open. Fancy being among the first aboard? Follow us here and keep an eye out for the booking announcement. Tables aren’t available to book just yet… but we’ll let you know when they are. 👀 Tag the person you’d save a seat for. #QuaysideDistillery #ExeterQuay #SundayLunch #InsideOutside
Out out, or out in? 👀 Here’s a little glimpse of Out out, or out in? 👀 Here’s a little glimpse of how winter on the water could look at Quayside. A clear roof and sides to keep those lovely canal views. Heating to keep you cosy. And breakfast, brunch and lunch worth making plans for. Imagine rain rippling across the water while something delicious arrives at your table. Catching up with a friend over a slow breakfast, or settling in for lunch and deciding there’s definitely time for dessert. We’re turning our floating pontoon into somewhere you can enjoy through the colder months — sheltered from the weather, but still right in the middle of the view. Alongside the transformation, we’re working on an updated menu and online table bookings, so you can pick a day, gather your favourite people and know there’s a table waiting. We can’t wait to welcome you aboard this autumn. Opening details, menu previews and bookings coming soon. This image is an AI-generated concept to help you picture what’s coming; the finished space may look a little different. #InsideOutside #OutOutButIn #ClearlyCosy #WinterIsComingBringAFork
