Meet the Makers

Meet the team from Archangel Distilleries, and sample their delicious gins made entirely in Norfolk. Their distillery is part of a working farm which has been lovingly nurtured in the family for over sixty years. They believe in quality, small scale production that uses the best of local produce with local labour and small scale, handcrafted products.

Archangel is continuing a venerable monastic tradition of brewing and distilling with a mixture of work and prayer, ‘Ora et labora ’ that stretches back well over a thousand years and during the working day they observe the monastic hours of Lauds and Vespers. Norfolk is a county where the Church has deep roots and the Archangel Distillery is just a hundred yards or so from St Peter’s, Dunton. Even their spirits are finished with Walsingham Water, helping to create a truly ‘heavenly gin’.
