Getting here
Just off King Street, King's Lynn
Jason and Nicky Crown started WhataHoot in 2017 with one question: could we make this ourselves? Today the stills, the Pantry shop, the Gin School and the bar all share one restored warehouse just off King Street, named after the barn owls heard across the Norfolk countryside.
