Lovely Drinks is a Bristol-based producer of premium pressés and sodas.

We seek out the very best ingredients to make our award-winning range - including handpicked elderflowers, whole lemons and pressed English fruits and flowers. As we like to keep things natural we steer well clear of nasties such as preservatives and concentrates and use no artificial sweeteners, colourings or flavourings. We have won many awards for our drinks, including 14 Great Taste Awards, several Taste of the West awards, two Bath Good Food Awards and two Bristol Good Food Awards. We have also been shortlisted for the BBC Food & Farming Awards and the West Daily Press Food & Farming Awards.

Lovely Drinks began as a passion project when we started making elderflower pressé with the blossoms in our garden and nearby hedgerows. Friends and family kept remarking on how ‘lovely’ it was - and so the seeds of our business were sown.

From serving up sodas at events and markets we began supplying local cafes, delis and restaurants - including Michelin-starred. We’ve now expanded our range to include ginger beer, juices, lemonades and natural colas, all using local or UK sourced ingredients wherever possible. We now sell our range to across the UK and the EU. We’re approved by SALSA, the leading UK food safety system for small businesses and accredited by the National Trust’s food auditor STS. We still make, bottle and pack all the drinks ourselves in a converted sawmill in Barrow Gurney, on the outskirts of Bristol, the South West’s foodie capital.
