Locally Sourced Lovely Drinks from around Bristol and Somerset

We supply fruit drinks that we think taste lovely.

Our soft drinks are made from elderflowers, pressed apples, fresh ginger and English herbs and flowers. We make and bottle them at our home in Barrow Gurney, which is just outside Bristol in England's West Country. We have a bit of a thing about elderflowers (partly because we have so many in the garden!) so we put them in most drinks.

We try to use ingredients sourced within Somerset or the Bristol area. If we can't find stuff locally we do our best to source them from within the UK - for example, we use sugar from UK-grown beet. Some ingredients are organic but where they come from is more important to us. We make everything from scratch and we never use concentrates.

It all began when Rick started making elderflower cordial in the shed. Friends kept telling him how lovely it was so in an idle moment he registered the name, bought a load of glass bottles and started producing the presse. Then we designed some labels, bought a market stall table... and Lovely Drinks was born.

When new customers try our wares they still invariably say "Oh, how lovely!" - although to be honest sometimes they say "That's lush!".

We currently make the following drinks: Elderflower & Rose, Elderflower & Ginger, Apple & Elderflower and Apple & Ginger. We're about to launch a couple of new ones for the summer. We also supply a delicious Somerset apple juice pressed on the other side of Chew Valley in Compton Dando. To find out more go to the drinks page here...

We sell our products at award-winning food fairs, including the Bristol Slow Food Market - voted the UK's Best Speciality Market 2009 - and the Love Food Festival in Bristol, which recently won a Prince's Trust enterprise award. We also sell our drinks at local farmers' markets and in independent Bristol cafes and shops.
