Boutinot
Hailing from a family restaurant business, Paul Boutinot founded Boutinot over 25 years ago to supply restaurants with high quality, well-priced wines. Paul's aim was to source wines which excel beyond their price level on any restaurant list. Paul's founding philosophy is still core to the business - to make and source the best wines which are truly representative of their source region in terms of style, character and provenance. Today Boutinot is both a wine producer and importer sourcing from 120 producers worldwide.
Winner of the 2009 Wine Merchant of the Year and French Wine Merchant of the Year (Sommelier Wine Awards) Boutinot have a comprehensive and diverse portfolio; from trusted and superb ‘house' level wines to boutique, esoteric gems.
We believe in fundamental values: that wine should have style, elegance and grace and show at their very best when accompanying top quality cuisine. Paul Boutinot still believes that carefully chosen, imaginative lists are vital to a restaurants success and considers the Wine List of the Year a key category in the National Restaurant Awards, which Boutinot are proud to support.

Llanllyr Water
Llanllyr Source is a multi award winning premium glass bottled spring water (now also in a 100% recyclable aluminium can) drawn from an entirely sustainable source beneath organic fields in unspoilt west Wales that was used at least as early as the year 1180.
In fact there is evidence that the site was used in the 6th century and it has now been in the same family's hands since 1720.
That's interesting, but the quality of the water and the protection of our natural resources are more important.
The distinctively soft taste is a favourite with chefs around the world and there have been awards for taste and design and a Queen's Award for Enterprise.
Many waters vary with increased extraction and depletion damages the environment. Our land is organic and Soil Association accredited and the source is entirely sustainable even in the driest years.
We launched an entirely recyclable can last year which scores heavily over plastic not only in recyclability, but also because of the environmental advantages it has in manufacture, distribution and the efficient use of space.
The glass bottle is only available to restaurants, hotels and other food service outlets and not to retail.
