Belvoir Farm Drinks have nothing to do with the Belvoir Hunt, Belvoir Castle or the Duke of Rutland.
We are a completely separate company and we make drinks at Bottesford, which is in the Vale of Belvoir.
The Belvoir Hunt is owned by the Duke of Rutland – he has no shares in Belvoir Farm Drinks.
Belvoir Farm Drinks is owned and managed by Peverel Manners, who has never been hunting.
Belvoir Farm Drinks has never had anything to do with the Hunt.
We do not permit hunting over our farm or the elderflowers we grow for the drinks.
We do not or have ever given any money to the Hunt: we have nothing to do with it.
We do not support hunting in any way so this is unjustified.
Anthony Westropp is our non-executive Chairman, and a very experienced businessman. We do not concern ourselves with his or other employees’ private pastimes.
If you buy our drinks you are supporting a family owned farming and drinks making business which is entirely separate from the Belvoir Hunt.
Thank you.
