“The Craft Gin Club boxes are generally good value for money. However, I have one major complaint - the availability of the syrup mixers included in the boxes. I tried to purchase some bottles of the syrup mixers for a recent box and was informed that they are not available - except if you buy them complete with a bottle of the gin of the month and other mixers ! Given the small size of the bottles, it would be very useful if the Club produced additional stocks of the syrups to enable to the members to enjoy further cocktails when the original bottle has been used.”

Hi Trevor, we're glad to hear that you've been enjoying our boxes and syrups so much that you've wanted to come back for more. We've recently added our syrups (alongside the appropriate mixers) to our shop, so if any future syrup catches your eye you can head over and pick some up! Kind regards, Chaney Customer Service Team Member

Hiya Avril, thank you so much for the feedback! Whilst we have been trying to mitigate the rising costs of our boxes, unfortunately we haven't been able to do that permanently and as such have had to increase the price of our boxes. We are sorry for any frustration this has caused, but we are glad that you are still enjoying your boxes and providing specific praise to our magazine. Our magazine team puts a lot of hard work into that so it is good to hear that it is appreciated! Regarding your second query, if you every have any questions regarding your subscription just message us at members@craftginclub.co.uk and hopefully we can provide the answers you need! Kind regards, Chaney Customer Service Team Member

“Not impressed with this months box. Calorie laden tonic which didn't let the gin shine. Very poor selection of treats. Not sure if stay if I didn't have gin bonds.”

“Enjoy the variety of gin supplied; sometimes disappointed in the accompanying snacks but overall - ok. Loved The Drinks Bakery biscuits in this month's box. Enjoyed them so much, I've looked at their website and placed an order!!”

“Have really enjoyed my Gin membership for the last 6 years but decided that it was time to cancel. Hard to find process and eventually forced to call anyway. On hold for quite a while and then answered by what appeared to be a call centre with masses of back ground noise and person said he couldn't hear me clearly. Re asked questions that are asked online before you are then asked to call...all a bit disappointing end to what has been an enjoyable experience over the years.....”

Hi Bev, we're sorry to hear that your cancellation experience was such a hassle. Whilst we have introduced a call to cancel system to provide a more personalised experience for our members, we completely understand that this isn't always the case. We'll be sure to pass along your feedback surrounding this to the appropriate teams so that we can prevent any issues such as this from happening again and improve our member experience!

“Been with craft gin for a while now and only bugbear I have is that you don’t have the choice of any other mixers. Not everyone likes tonics. You can put a lemonade in every once in a while, so why not give us non tonic drinkers the choice of this with our monthly subscription. Have emailed company about this previously and reply was “ we will let the team know”. Might sound trivial to some, but when you have a build up of tonics you don’t use and are paying for, just seems pointless.”

Hi Donna, thank you so much for the feedback! We are sorry that the mixers aren't to your taste, whilst we do like to provide the alternative mixers for people to try if they aren't the biggest fan of tonics we understand that it can still be a bit frustrating having a drink that you don't like being included in your box. Whilst we aren't able to provide customisation for the contents of the box at this stage, hopefully we are able to provide an alternative subscription or box in the future that is more suited to your taste. Kind regards, Chaney Customer Service Team Member

“A great unique gift for gin lovers. A box of goodies arriving by post. The feature gin is accompanied by mixers, cocktail ingredients and snacks. What is there not to love”

“Loving the rum, but as I get both the gin and rum boxes the snacks are pretty much the same. It would be nice if they were more different.”

“I like the variety of gin and mixers, generally the cocktails are not my taste, too sweet - I’m a martini/ negroni gal so the syrup often goes down the sink. The price is going up and because of this is consider skipping and definitely would not boost. It’s disappointing that I can’t use my reward points without having to spend £80-100, other reward schemes give vouchers you can actually use against purchases you want rather than having to spend a minimum. That said I do like the club.”

“The variety of gins is great. Some of the mixers and snacks aren’t as varied as they have been in the past. Getting rewards is good, but you have to spend quite a bit if you want to use them. The variety of ways in which you can use your rewards has reduced over the years.”

“I find some of the ‘extras’ in the box, are not appealing to me. I don’t like the syrups, finding them too sweet & mindful of extra calories.”

“Always a nice surprise receiving my box. The gins are different and it's nice to have something made specially for club members. The snacks are a lovely addition and we have found some firm favourite mixers, cocktails and snacks as a result of the gin club memberahip. The magazine is also interesting for real gin enthusiasts. I think the price is reasonable for what you get in the box and the notifications that your subscription has been taken and the postage is helpful.”

“Loved the gin, loved the cashew snack , not keen on tonic or soft drinks. Other snacks not my taste but you can't win them all. Main thing for me is a decent gin which this was. Nice botanicals so lovely flavour. My kind of gin. Love the fact that this as with other gins are bespoke to the CGC. Loved finding out about the other gin they produce. Love the excitment you get when your box arrives. Roll on the next one! :-)”
