We Love Local
We’re all trying to tread lightly when it comes to our footprint on earth whether it’s eating seasonally, buying organic produce or serving local.
When it comes to drinks, we range many local products from Cumbrian Legendary Ales, the people behind Loweswater Gold to Bowness Bay and Coniston Brewing Co. In the spirits department, we champion The Lakes Distillery situated in Bassenthwaite as well as the Cumbrian Distilling Company in Carlisle. And there’s Lakes-based soft drink maker Zingi Bear, making one of the most intriguing soft drinks you’ll find and we’re lucky to have Hexham’s Fentiman’s as well as Marlish Water just over the county border in Northumberland.

Winemakers with northern roots
The Lake District climate is hardly conducive to growing wine grapes so drinking local might be a bit tricky but that doesn’t mean we aren’t on the search for producers with local stories from Sea Mountain’s Stephen Ludlam, an Ilkley boy whose outdoorsy father would take the family to the Lakes for the holidays or Redcar lad-turned-winemaker JacobLeadley of Black Chalk.
Then there’s Toby Owen, who grew up in Northumberland and fell in love with wine while working at Oddbins and upped sticks to make delicious Tuscan reds. Or how about Newton Johnson Vineyard? A family who left their native Yorkshire after World War II and how produces some of South Africa’s finest Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and the country’s first Albarino?
We’re always on the hunt for more of these northern champions, but our first priority is always delivering you delicious liquid. Discover more of our local and regionally sourced products here.
Local Products
As a local company, we are fiercely proud of our Cumbrian origin and glad to use our influence to showcase the very best of what our home county has to offer.
Langtons Gin
Rich caramel tones and subtle kick.
Langtons is a local story with what appears to be global appeal. The gin is a product of two Lakeland locals, using as many local products as possible. They have developed a truly distinct gin that is full of flavour but at the same time subtle on the palate.
