FAMILY OWNED. NORFOLK MADE. DISTINCTLY WHATAHOOT.

WhataHoot began around a Norfolk kitchen table, where husband-and-wife team Jason and Nicky Crown turned a shared curiosity for flavour into a family distillery.

Inspired by the barn owls heard across the Norfolk countryside, WhataHoot has grown into a working distillery and visitor destination in the heart of King’s Lynn — home to our shop, bar, Gin School & Spirit Lounge and the team behind every bottle.
