| Discerning bartenders from across the land made haste to The Honourable Artillery Company this June to compete in the annual Hendrick's Bartender Croquet Championships. |
| |
 |
| |
| Throughout the balmy summer afternoon, crisp Hendrick's and tonics and a Very English Punch brought cooling relief to the competitors, whilst the lamb spit roast barbecue provided marvellous sustenance. |
| |
| Tensions were high as the precision of the game took its toll on those who lacked a steady swing or by those who were distracted by fine entertainment from burlesque performer Miss Lily White, vintage showgirls Lady Grey Tease, Lady High Kick and Lily Farthing. |
| |
| The outstanding aptitude of Hoxton Bar & Kitchen and 43 provided an exhilarating final with the plucky young chaps from Hoxton winning the trophy and a day of jousting with the Knights of England. |
