To this day the range of soft drinks, tonics and mixers combines our strong heritage with fresh ideas to create exceptional flavour experiences. Never compromising on quality, as a Great Taste producer Franklin & Sons uses 100% natural ingredients, with British sugar and high levels of carbonation across the range to bring out the best in spirits and lift the most delicate botanicals.
Meatless Farm
Leeds-based Meatless Farm was started in 2016 by Morten Toft Bech. It aims to improve people’s health through better eating, whilst supporting the environment and reducing the world’s dependency on intensive farming. It was recently recognised as the UK’s fastest growing meat alternatives brand . There’s been a plant-based lockdown boom, with over a third of meat-eating Brits now enjoying more of the plant-based good stuff (source: OnePoll survey 2000 UK adults).
Meatless Farm is partnering with Manchester Food and Drink Festival because it believes the key to creating a more sustainable future is showing people how delicious plant-based food really can be. They’ll be serving delicious hot food where their meat alternatives have been swapped in from multiple dishes. As a Leeds based business, it’s also important to them they’re championing the Northern food scene!
