Artisan drinks producer wins garden centre contact

 

Yorkshire Wolds artisan drinks producer Raisthorpe Distillery has won a contract to supply its award-winning gins to Tong Garden Centre, Bradford.

 

One of the biggest independently owned garden centres in Yorkshire, food and drink has long been a key part of the Tong Garden Centre visitor offer and the gins will be stocked in its expanded, new look food hall.

 

Rebranded as ‘Hearty’s’, the food hall boasts a specialist butchery, deli, bakery and a tempting range of Yorkshire products.

 

Heartys will stock a range of five liqueur gins including Sloe, Sweet Violet, Raspberry, Rhubarb and Rose and a Damson port under its own label, along with the Yorkshire Tonics range and four varieties of Raisthorpe’s branded gin in Oak Aged, Bramble and Saffron, Elderflower and Gooseberry flavours.

 

Sarah Dwyer at Tong Garden Centre said: “Our visitors look to us for not only thoughtful food and drink gifts, but also treats and ideas for dining. We have doubled the size of our food hall which has enabled us to offer an even more tempting choice of lovingly-made, hand-crafted and carefully selected produce. 

 

“Provenance is important to us so we’ve focussed on introducing more produce from some of Yorkshire’s finest artisan makers and we’re pleased to welcome Raisthorpe to the ‘Heartisan’ club.”

 

Julia Medforth, founder of Raisthorpe Distillery, said: “We are delighted to be in fine company at Tong Garden Centre and to see our gins take centre stage at Hearty’s.”

 

Raisthorpe is a family business, launched more than 10 years ago by Julia Medforth at the family farm in Thixendale. The company produces a range of award-winning Yorkshire Tonics as well as gin liqueurs, vodkas and dry gin from its own still on the farm.

 

Raisthorpe has won recognition for its products with 16 Great Taste Awards for its gins and tonics. Products are made using locally sourced ingredients and are also sold through farm shops, delis, independents and the hospitality sector as well as online at www.raisthorpemanor.com.
