– The Bottled Cocktail Company 

Launched, with a refined range of classic drinks in striking bottles inspired by cocktails that have become classics in the world of bartending. The brainchild of drinks expert Keivan Nemati, the range will bring consumers a true mixology experience, with the quality and creativity of a bar, in the comfort of their own home. Inspired as much by Nemati’s experience in the worlds of perfumery and culinary arts as his rich history in the bar scene in London and beyond, the brand was established in 2020 by Nemati and a group of friends, who were brought together by their passion for cocktails and flavours. 
 
The initial range, inspired by cocktails that have become classics in the world of bartending, includes; Silver Fir Negroni (£35), El Presidente (£36), Dry Gin Martni (£34), Elderflower High Ball (£33) and Passionfruit Spritz (£33), with more to be released in the coming months. All are bottled at sipping strength, and designed to be drunk either straight up, served from the freezer, or stirred over ice. 

Our online cocktail delivery service covers North London in as little as 1-2 working days, and 3-5 working days UK-wide.

Little Squirrel hasn’t left his nest since last autumn. He needs to gather nuts for the long winter to come but he’s too worried to leave his cosy nest.

 

Luckily, Little Squirrel has lots of friends in the forest, from Wren to Snuffly Hedgehog, Grey Rabbit to Mister Fox, Old Badger to Great Stag. Will their encouragement and words of advice be enough to help Little Squirrel to venture out?

Deliveroo and BGT’s Kojo Anim Launch Christmas Crackers That Will Help to Crack Hunger for UK Families in Need

Deliveroo has teamed up with Britain’s Got Talent finalist and cult funnyman Kojo Anim, to launch a range of magical charity Christmas crackers called ‘Crackers Cracking Hunger’, to help provide crucial meals for families in need.  

Each box of six crackers is beautifully festive and costs £10, all of which will be donated to The Felix Project and FareShare.

Instead of finding silly throwaway toys inside the crackers, customers will find a Christmas hat and a rather witty bespoke joke from Kojo Anim himself. 

crackers, christmas

Each £10 box will provide the equivalent of a week of meals for a household in need by redistributing good food that would otherwise go to waste. The crackers are made from 100% recyclable materials. 

This comes as it was reported that 1.3m UK families relied on food parcels over the festive period* last Christmas, and this year, millions will also rely on food banks and charities.

Customers should search ‘Crackers Cracking Hunger’ to find an Editions near them. Any Deliveroo customers who are not within delivery of a participating Editions, or who would like to make a monetary donation rather than receiving crackers, can still support the cause by making a donation on the ‘Crackers Cracking Hunger – Make a Donation’ page. 100% of all donations will support Deliveroo’s efforts to deliver more meals to families who need them via The Felix Project and FareShare. 

Each box of six crackers costs £10 and 100% of this cost will be donated to the charities. Delivery and service fees will still apply.
