What a busy season! Eventing is a rewarding job with lots of great people along the way and it is also hard work; we put our heart and soul into everything we do as ‘fine’ is not a standard that suits us.

Thank you to all of our team members for your great efforts, humour, skill and dedication this year and a special thank you to our Ops Director, and best friend Greg. He’s so awesome you wouldn’t believe it.

Merry Christmas all. Wishing you a happy a prosperous new year. 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

COME AND SEE US! 🎄🎄

We are at Darts farm until 4pm today with our awesome mulling syrups. Samples, gift ideas, tips on how it can be used and collabs. Autumn is the perfect time to get mulling, whether it’s wine, cider or apple juice, it’s our favourite seasonal drink. (Obviously)

Have you seen these about?

It’s that wonderful time of year when our exceptional, multi award-winning mulling syrup is back out on the shelves for you to take home and make delicious mulled wine and mulled cider in a blink. Full of warm Christmas spice, citrus, pepper and dark brown sweetness, with our syrup you get all the depth of flavour and aromatics as if you’d been mulling all day.

Try it, add as much or as little as you like until you have it the way you like it,. It really does make the best mulled wine and cider. So much so In fact, that the lovely Dart Brothers asked us to collab with them to make their mulled wine! Using Rondo grapes from their Pebblebed vineyard blended with our mulling syrup, we produced some very tasty mulled wine. Also available at Darts Farm.

Our syrup also makes a jolly lovely gift! On its own as a stocking filler, or wrapped up with a bottle of wine or cider and some ribbon. Smiles all round! 🍇 🍎

Find it The Fore St Flea, .co.uk and at West Point Christmas Fair, and others.
