I have been trying to buy more British made products, are there any British made brands you would really recommend?

I find as many are small scale it's not always that easy to find them.

Some of the ones I have found and really like are

Netherton foundry (bought a great bbq chapa)
Bradley's Tannery (brilliant garden gloves)
Ark (leather products good for presents and v affordable)
Southcombe gloves

Ideas of any sort of product would be appreciated Smile

Halzephron for absolutely gorgeous sauces, mayonnaise, marinades, jams, flavoured seeds etc.

St.Eval for candles of all types including gorgeous scented ones with natural or coastal scents

Trevarno for soaps and toiletries

All made in the UK and made in small batches but top quality

Some great suggestions already. Just remembered a couple of other good ones.

A bit niche but I bought a Morris of Dunsford Billhook. Great to take your frustrations out in the garden!
Nancy and betty cards, stationary and crackers made with sustainable paper and vegetable based inks.

Great thread - what a good idea for us to list local companies to support especially as they will need our help more than ever after the battering covid has given their sales! I would rather give my pennies to a small British company than an international conglomerate!

I will list links to the companies I mentioned later x

Lordfrontpaw · 25/05/2020 12:22

You can get local honey too! We get ours from a park down the road.

Elizabella · 25/05/2020 12:23
