Bonfire Night Coffee Creations
As the nights draw in, the temperature gradually lowers and a cozy night in becomes ever more appealing… it’s almost time for Bonfire Night! Where communities come together in the annual tradition and warm up in front of a huge bonfire.
It’s this time of year when a nice hot drink is a very appealing prospect for most people, when they’re on the high street looking for Black Friday deals, doing some Christmas Shopping or waiting for the fireworks to start.
We have some great ingredients that can help you to create some amazingly delicious Bonfire Night drinks; with flavours and smells that can make that night around a bonfire just that extra bit special.
Hot Drinks
It’s an essential to keep hands warm and moods lifted whilst out there in the bitter cold (and potentially rain!). One of our blends or single origins is ideal for serving fresh, delicious coffee. – View our range of fresh roasted coffee
Alternatively, hot chocolate is a popular drink for people of all ages to warm up and sip on a deliciously sweet cup of cocoa. We have a variety of hot chocolate options to choose from, including our own Traditional blends, as well as chocolates from Zuma and Van Houten. – View our indulgent range of Hot Chocolates
And a hot drink would be useless if it wasn’t for a cup. We have some excellent disposable cup options to choose from, including ripple cups (ideal for keeping hands from getting too hot on the outside of cups), single and double wall printed cups as well as our new Eco Friendly biodegradable cups. – View our full range of takeaway cups
