TAME & WILD
Drinks was the inspiration of English fruit farmer (and beekeeper), Annabel Makin Jones. Her accumulated knowledge and passion for the best of British has resulted in a range of drinks unlike anything you’ve tasted before.
See tameandwilddrinks.co.uk for allergen and product information.
BELVOIR DRINKS
We make naturally delicious Cordials, Pressés and Fruit Crushes at our home in the gorgeous Lincolnshire countryside.
Mary Manners, the wife of our founder Lord John Manners, started making cordials in her kitchen in the Seventies by infusing the elderflowers and pressing the fruit grown on the farm. Since then, Belvoir has carried on the same infusing, pressing and cooking of fresh flowers, fruits and spices, which are then blended with local spring water to make our delicious drinks. We never compromise on quality and choose only the best ingredients. Everything that goes into our drinks is real and natural with nothing artificial at all.
BELVOIR DRINKS SUPPORT British Beekeeper’s Association, Butterfly Conservation, St Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital along with several children’s and other charities

BOTTLEGREEN
Founded by husband and wife, Kit & Shireen, in 1989. bottlegreen celebrates over 30 successful years in market.
Inspired by their background in wine making and with a desire to create something out of the ordinary, the couple began experimenting with an abundance of local elderflowers growing right on their doorstep.
Using a unique cold filtration process, traditionally used for wine making, our Hand-Picked Elderflower cordial was created and… the rest was history!
Our Mill is still based in the heart of the Cotswolds, where it all began. We draw spring water from our very own spring at the bottlegreen factory.
See bottlegreendrinks.com for allergen and product information.
JUST BISCUITS
We source all of our ingredients from carefully selected partners who produce in the Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire area. And we don't put additional salt in our products, which is better for you. Our partners are just as fanatical as we are about good quality produce. We work with them to ensure a fabulous biscuit. From our butter, which is churned in Deddington, to our chillis which are grown in Aylesbury.

DEGUSTIBUS
When we, at DeGustibus bake our Artisan Sourdoughs, we strive for the same perfection, balance, textures & flavours and are immensely proud of our breads.
Sourdough Baking is a skill requiring many years of experimentation & adjustments of recipes. As no day or no weather conditions are alike, and even flour tends to vary by seasons, it is the ‘eye’ of the baker, his dedication & ability which makes a great sourdough bread.

NORTON AND YARROW
We make two cheeses. Our first cheese, Sinodun Hill, is an aged lactic goats cheese pyramid based on a traditional French recipe.

Our second cheese, Brightwell Ash, was launched in spring 2019 and is an ashed goats cheese disc with a natural rind.

THE COURTYARD DAIRY
The Courtyard Dairy stocks and supplies a carefully chosen range of unusual and exquisite farmhouse cheeses, selected direct from individual farms, and then only if the cheese is superior in quality and taste. No compromises.
For the best depth of flavour, these specialist cheeses are still made by hand on the farm, with most farmers using their own high-quality unpasteurised milk from a single herd of animals. Many of these farmers have less than 70 cows (the smallest producer has just 7 goats!).
The Courtyard Dairy’s cheeses are among the finest to be found anywhere in the world.
See thecourtyarddairy.co.uk for all allergen and product information.
The Fine Cheese Co. is a maturer, wholesaler, retailer and exporter of artisan British cheeses, most of which are unpasteurised and all of which are traditionally made.
We are based in historic Bath, founded by the Romans and famous for its beautiful Georgian architecture - alongside Venice the only World Heritage city in Europe.
NETTLEBED CREAMERY
One of the many great things about cheese is that it can’t be trussed up in a ribbon, put in a shiny package and sold as something it isn’t. It is either great or it isn’t.
A true artisan, farmhouse cheese on the other hand is nothing other than a celebration of the cow’s milk from which it is made.
BIX, HIGHMOOR and WITHERIDGE Three outstanding cheeses made by hand.
We also buy our butter and unhomogenized milk from Nettlebed creamery.

MAYFIELD EGGS
One of the nicest parts of this job is opening the pop holes early in the morning and watching the hens run across the fields – they never tire of the excitement! From early in the morning until dusk, our hens are free to explore the fields and dust bathe in the sunshine.
Enrichment… On a rainy day, hens enjoy having something to play with inside the hen house. We give our hens string, plastic milk bottles, straw bales and blocks of hardened food to peck at and each flock has a children’s play slide to explore. We’ve found the hens love spending time exploring these.
Truly free-range!!!

Rachel and Andy have been life-long gin drinkers, seeking out unusual and flavourful gins. We had always been mere consumers, never thinking about distilling our own. But we couldn’t ever find that perfect gin for our taste - the one that just ticked every box.
Our boutique gin inspiration hit us when we were by the sea on our wedding anniversary. We blazed home with the idea of creating the perfect gin for us and immediately set to work. Rachel was driven by the idea of creating a genuine craft gin, with flavours inspired by our lives and experiences.
