What are these berries?

[Puggit]

Spotted them in our front garden hedge... I'm hoping I can put them in some cheap gin

Is the bush thorny?

If yes, they're sloes; if no, they're bullaces (wild damsons).

Id go with damsons/bullaces as the folliage looks bigger than black thorn and I cant see any thorns in the picture! Good find either way!

I thought I saw a thorn on the bottom right-hand side. Maybe not.

If they are bullaces then bob on - much nicer than sloes imho.

Put them in vodka.
