Want something more minimalist for your hen party? Why not try Baboo’s new Gin & Tonic sorbet as a refreshing dessert to round off your group’s meal? With subtle botanical flavours of juniper, star anise and lemon balm, it also works excellently as a palate cleanser between courses, perfect for a summer hen party.
Baboo supplies their Strawberry, Pistachio gelato, Gin & Tonic sorbet and other delicious flavours to restaurants in the South West, including the River Cottage Canteen, and a range of gelato and sorbet flavours are available in local farm shops, delis and at the Baboo kiosks in West Bay and Lyme Regis on a rotational basis.
