We’re currently preparing ourselves for a long weekend in Surrey, as the Royal Horticultural Society’s Wisley gardens play host to A Taste of Autumn 2009.

This four day harvest festival is jam-packed with all things foody. The Belvoir Fruit Farms team will be there. And our delicious drinks will be in good company: there’ll be around thirty-five stalls catering for all tastes, selling everything from chocolate and honey to cheese and olives.

And if you’re unsure of the best ways to use these wonderful ingredients in the kitchen, Peter Osborne, ‘The Big Chef’, will be giving live cookery demonstrations every day from 10am–4pm.

Still not got around to buying your Halloween pumpkin? Fear not, you can choose one from the 1,500 grown especially for the event by the Wisley trials team.

And if you fill up on food, there’s much more to do in such pleasant surroundings. Children’s activities and entertainers will keep the kids amused, and there’ll be plenty of toe-tapping live music on the Chinese Pavilion.

Sounds like a wonderful way to spend the day. Perhaps we’ll see you there?

In a quiet and very beautiful corner of Lincolnshire sits the Belvoir Fruit Farm. It’s here we quietly go about mixing and bottling our naturally delicious drinks, and then make sure all our favourite farm shops, delicatessens and supermarkets have enough of them.

But last week, our beloved little bottles were propelled towards the bright lights of the big city on the crest of a wave.

Amidst the throng of London Fashion Week, beautiful people sat on deckchairs and happily quaffed their way through 25cl bottles of Belvoir’s Organic Lemonade, Organic Ginger Beer, Elderflower Pressé and our classic cucumbery Summer Cooler.

It was all part of the ‘chill out’ beach shack created for Swami’s Surf Company at 180 The Strand.

Swami’s – named after the renowned surfing spot in California – is a bespoke surfboard manufacturing company that, according to Vogue, “is fast attracting the cool and hip of the surf world”.

Giles, founder of Swami’s, told us after the event:

London Fashion Week finished yesterday and what a great week we had – huge response to our surfboards and beachwear line.

We found that the cucumber was a particular hit for the more refined palate and people loved the spicy ginger hit, so I think it’s official that the fashionistas love to quaff Belvoir!

Thank you so much for supplying them, we’re even bigger fans of yours now than we already were.

We were glad to be of assistance. Although don’t expect to see our MD, Pev Manners, in a pair of Bermuda shorts any time soon.
