Meanwhile, here's just a taste of some of the producers you can discover at Speciality & Fine Food Fair 2022:
Reverend Hubert
Reverend Hubert's heavenly award-winning Summer Cup and Winter Gin Liqueur are hand crafted in the Cotswolds using the most divine real fruit and spices: from Amalfi Lemons to English rhubarb and Sri Lankan spices. Originally made in 1904 by Reverend Hubert himself using prizewinning fruit from the vicarage garden for his congregation's Christmas party and summer village fete, these recipes have been elevated by his great-grandson Thomas.
Bemuse
Bemuse is the completely new drinking experience based on Britain's most ancient drink. An innovative, modern, low alcohol sparkling range of delicious honey-based drinks, Bemuse is on a mission to reimagine mead for today's taste. The only drink of its kind, Bemuse is produced by a natural fermentation with just honey, water and yeast, infused with natural ingredients to create the individual flavours based on traditional mead recipes. Inspired by nature, brewed, crafted and canned in the UK, Bemuse is an exciting alternative to beer, cider or wine and can be enjoyed all year round, on its own or as an accompaniment to food.
