We have to be extremely honest and admit that we’re horribly late getting to our appointment at chapmanbdsp’s new working home on the edge of the City of London. We hoped we’d timed things perfectly, organising our meeting in the narrow window between our two Mixology awards judging sessions across in Clerkenwell.

As regular readers will be all too aware, we like to get out and about. With both London and Manchester within easy reach of our editorial team, it’s important to us that we don’t just focus on these two centres. So, a day out in the lovely West Country ticks a number of boxes for us!
