This month marks 10 years of The Mad Scientist..

We started in an old dusty shop in Workington and who would have thought it transformed into what it is today.

Proudly serving people of Workington their favorite drinks for The last 10 years.

We have had our ups and downs laughed and even cried, people have come and gone over the years. But we're still here.

Thank you to all our customers that have supported us over the years, we are proud to have served you making your days and nights that little bit more special.

Thank you to all our team that have stood by us though the years of dedication making it possible to serve the people of Workington Cumbria

Thank you

Darren & Team
