Bristol Syrup Company is a collaboration between Bristol based syrup experts and bartenders. We’ve distilled down years of experience to create a range of quality cocktail syrups and purées; tasting authentic to the name on the label and to the syrups and purées bartenders would make themselves.

We believe syrup and purée shouldn’t be an afterthought when making cocktails. The quality and taste should be as well considered as the chosen spirits, mixers and garnishes.

Bridging the gap between the homeless and the public, creating a connection that makes a real difference.

My Green Pod is an independent, family-run UK business, founded by Katie Hill and Jarvis Smith. We want to share the real stories behind the brands and people working tirelessly to offer ethical alternatives to mainstream products and services.

You might not see these options on the high street and they may not be the first to appear in online searches.

Unlike any other company we know, we meet and connect personally with the owners of the companies we work with. We do this because we believe that authentically ethical products and services can only be produced and supplied with conscious, heartfelt intent.

Plenty of businesses are cashing in on the trend towards natural and organic products, but if those companies are cutting corners to be the first to market – whether in their packaging, their supply chains, their ingredients, or their staff welfare – they won’t be featured here. This isn’t something you can check by visiting a website, so we go behind the scenes to investigate the company’s entire DNA.

When it comes to producing high-quality, award-winning wine, Aldwick Estate is thriving in England’s fast-growing wine scene. A proudly independent and family run business, our vision is to continue to create truly exceptional wine. Never resting on our laurels, we’ve been farming a little pocket of land nestled at the foot of the Mendips for over a century and in 2008 we planted our first vines. These vines (and others) have been growing fabulously ever since, as have we. 

Home to a full portfolio of English wine, we hope to inspire and encourage the celebration of English wine, with our dynamic whites, fruity reds, signature pinks, and fine fizz. To learn more about our current vintages visit our wine store, or alternatively a warm, friendly welcome awaits you at the Estate, so if you fancy discovering more about the world of English viticulture our vineyard tour & tasting experience is an absolute must.

Based down the road in Sandford, Somerset, the Thatchers family have been crafting and perfecting cider since 1904.

From the individual apple varieties we use, to the knowledge we have gained over four generations to make beautiful ciders that are bursting with flavour, we take great care to stay true to our roots. Only the best will do, so you know that with each glass of Thatchers the quality is the same, every time.

We craft a range of ciders, including our smooth and golden Thatchers Gold, our naturally cloudy Thatchers Haze and the sweet and vibrant Thatchers Rosé made from rosy-red eating apples. New this year is our sweet and juicy Thatchers Blood Orange, crafted with juicy eating apples and bursting with natural blood orange flavour.

Bristol born and made to stand out, Butcombe Brewing Co. began life at a time of cultural, social and political change, crafting beer before ‘craft beer’ was even a thing.

You see, at that time, no one was risking it all starting a brewery, making simple, premium, easy-drinking ale. To do so was an act of defiance. Or madness. But, 44 years and a lot of hard graft later, by staying true to our beliefs and Bristolian roots, it looks like owning a resolutely maverick brewing company isn’t such a crazy idea after all. By going against the grain, to work intimately with it, we made our own statement with every pint. And what was true then is just as important today.

Our passion for great beer extends to our passion for great pubs. Located across the South and South West of England, Butcombe Pubs & Inns are an independent, eclectic bunch with a focus on award-winning food and drink, and creating truly memorable experiences.
