How do you feel about going out and about at the moment?
Chester and Cheshire are seeing a high rate of increase in the Delta variant of Covid-19 and that might be putting you off going out. We understand.
We also know that just because you don’t really want to go shopping or dine out, doesn’t mean you don’t want to support local and enjoy local produce.

Lift your spirits with Jeffrey’s Drinks.
These are perfect as an adult soft drink. Maybe you’re driving, pregnant, or just cutting back on the booze, but soft drinks don’t have to be boring.
With 4 unique and delicious flavours, this box set is the ideal way to give them a try.
Enjoy the gift of a totally unique drink experience with a selection box of 4 x 50ml bottled Jeffrey’s tonic syrups. It’s a great present!
Made in Chester, UK with dried botanicals, their tonic syrups are new exciting flavours that you can enjoy at home in your next cocktail or mocktail. Whilst the flavours may be unique, it’s what makes the tonic syrups exciting!
You an also use Jeffrey’s tonics to elevate your Gin & Tonic. Just take a glass with some ice, pour in around 100ml of sparkling water, about 20ml of Jeffrey’s, an appropriate great gin. Stir. Enjoy!
If it’s Gin you are after… oh boy are we spoilt in Cheshire. I mean really spoilt. We have so many wonderful distilleries on our doorstep.
A personal favourite of mine has always been Three Wrens Gin.
Master distiller and owner, Nick, spent 20 years in the drinks & spirits industry, becoming an award winning mixologist. Nick harboured a long standing ambition to create his own gin and finally took the plunge to open the Three Wrens distillery in August 2019. He uses the botanicals that grow around him in Cheshire as well as growing their own herbs for the gins they make.
They have now won multiple awards for their incredible gins and the have their own Amazon shop that you can visit by CLICKING HERE to browse their full range.
My personal recommendation is not to pick one bottle immediately, but to try as many as you can. Three Wrens offer you the chance to do this by ordering a fantastic tasting gift set. This Tasting Set showcases a selection of their gins paired with Fever Tree tonics, dried fruit garnishes and tasting note guidebook.
The gift set contains 5 of their gins and therefore you obviously will need to be 18+ (and able to prove it) to accept the delivery
Keeping it more to the simple, more classic version of Cheshire Gin is Hunter’s Gin. It’s a wonderful premium gin developed in Cheshire, made in traditional copper pot and rectifying stills, flavoured with botanicals including juniper, angelica, lemon peel and orris root.
It’s delightful, aromatic and smooth and subtle gin. 91% of people who tried this gin through Amazon rated it 5 stars! We particularly love this gin because Hunter’s have joined us at our markets and food fiestas so we know first hand the passion they have for what they do.
Here’s another local gin company but this is a completely unique take on it!
Tappers Hydropathic Pudding Summer Fruit Cup – a fruit cup made by infusing 7KG of real, fresh, fruit into Tappers’ own gin. The recipe is based on the original Victorian dessert now known as summer fruit pudding.
A medley of real, British grown fresh fruit including strawberries, raspberries, redcurrants and blackcurrants deliver a burst of juicy sweetness. The resulting tipple has a delightful red hue. Each 50cl bottle is individually filled, labelled and wax sealed by hand. At 32% ABV, Hydropathic Pudding is one of the strongest fruit cups on the UK market but this gives it a fuller flavour.

Not a gin Drinker? That’s ok, you can still have a Cheshire Vodka!! Yes, a Cheshire plain vodka is available through Amazon from the fantastic Weetwood Distillery based in Kelsall. Creamy soft mouthfeel and a sumptuous implosion of peppery sweetness, their silky vodka is perfect in a Martini or just straight up.
Made by fermenting the finest English grain before triple-distilling in very small batched to make this smooth vodka.

All these yummy drinks are making me hungry again.
The ultimate snack which pairs well with any drink and is high in protein, low calorie snack.
All Weston Biltong varieties are handmade here in Cheshire, some even say crafted to perfection. They use only the finest cuts of Silverside and of course its 100% British and Irish Beef. They use just the right amount of vinegar then spices and flavours to make the perfect partnership to give our Biltong that something extra.
It comes in smaller packs but through Amazon you can order this superb value 1.1kg box which contains 4 conveniently sized 275g bags.
Each bag is packed with over 50% protein. That’s over 550g of protein per a 1.1kg box. It’s an excellent snack for those on a paleo or keto diet. It is also great to help reach those marco targets for bodybuilders and other gym enthusiasts.
So that’s a good start, there are a few more Cheshire products on Amazon, so maybe when you are looking at these, you can have a look at those as well.
Enjoy Shopping and stay safe!
