Pentire non-alcoholic drinks are made by distilling plants native to the coastline in Cornwall, England. All are created to support active-outdoor lifestyles. The name derives from Pentire Head, where the company is based, and is a celebration of the unique plant life that grows on this surrounding headland. Key botanicals thrive here due to a combination of favourable climate, soil pH, and air moisture.
Pentire create healthy drinks for active, outdoor loving folk. A healthier choice for the go-getters, the adventurous and the doers. One of a number of our suppliers based in Cornwall and with an ethos we wholeheartedly support – one of ‘Our Heroes’.
We caught up with Will Edwards to ask him a few questions about the company and their drinks.
What is your role in the company and can you tell us a little bit about what you do?
My name is Will and I’m the Head of On Trade for Pentire. With our great team, my role is to find amazing hotels, restaurants, bars and pubs for people to enjoy Pentire in. We love seeing people enjoying healthy, elevated serves in some of the best operators in hospitality like Cubitt House.
We take great pride in the quality of our food and drink at Cubitt House ensuring we use only the very best ingredients and produce. We work with small scale and innovative companies operating sustainable practices that never compromise on quality. Can you explain how Pentire embodies this idea?
As a B-Corp business it runs through everything we do. All of our products are manufactured in the UK, using seasonal ingredients most of which are farmed locally and so we have very low food miles and zero air miles. By partnering with local farmers, we can ensure that our products are made with high-quality ingredients while also supporting sustainable farming practices. We believe that investing in local agriculture is not only good for the environment but also for the economy, helping to create jobs and strengthen communities.
Tell us a bit about the various Pentire drinks and which is your favourite?
My favourite is Pentire Adrift – our original botanical non-alcoholic spirit, made by distilling unique plants native to our coastline in Cornwall, UK. With ingredients like Rock Samphire, Sage and Cornish Sea Salt, it’s Coastal, herbaceous and fresh in character. My favourite way to enjoy it is in a Pentire Spicy Margarita with fresh lime, agave and chilli.
Coming into Spring and Summer, a Pentire Coastal Spritz served with a light tonic is perfect. This is our non alcoholic aperitif which combines Pentire’s signature coastal botanicals with Blood Orange, Sea Rosemary and Oakwood to create the perfect balance of natural bitter flavours and refreshing coastal tones.
One of our most popular serves is always a Pentire Seaward Paloma. Zesty, verdant and bright – Pentire Seaward has key botanicals like Pink Grapefruit, Sea Rosemary, Sea Buckthorn and Wild Seaweed making it perfect in a Paloma.
Pentire is always popular at all our Cubitt House pubs, a chance to taste a little bit of Cornwall in the heart of London.
