“Great afternoon with informative history of gin”

“Great afternoon”
My daughter and I recently went for the gin tasting, Emma at the Windsor Gin emporium was very knowledgeable about the gins and the local history and served guns that we had never heard of
“Not what is advertised ”
Gin tasting itself was good. Interesting history behind gins etc. ‘Canapés’ were cut up sausages, chunks of belly pork, chips and battered chicken that people thought was fish. Nothing remotely that you could consider a canapé. Voucher stated there would be a quiz. This did not happen.
