Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Orchard Tearoom in Hereford, Herefordshire, was looking to refresh its cold drinks menu, moving away from generic brands to offer something with more local charm and quality.
"Our customers were asking for better non-alcoholic options. We brought in the Folkington's rhubarb and apple cans, and the reaction was immediate. People love that it’s made with British fruit – it fits our tearoom's ethos perfectly and it just tastes superb."
Robert Davies – Manager
The move resulted in their premium soft drink sales increasing by over 35%, proving a simple switch can make a substantial difference.

The Folkington's Difference: A Taste of the English Countryside
In a market saturated with generic, overly sweet soft drinks, Folkington's stands for something more. Choosing their products is a conscious decision to prioritise quality, provenance, and truly authentic flavour. Each can offers a taste of the British countryside, a story that resonates deeply with customers who appreciate locality and craftsmanship. For your business, this translates directly into a higher perceived value. You're not just selling a drink; you're offering an experience. This allows for better profit margins and powerfully differentiates your establishment from competitors stocking only mainstream brands. It's a small but significant investment in your reputation, signalling to every customer that you care about quality, right down to the last drop.
Explore more from Folkington's GardenWhat Does 'Not From Concentrate' Really Mean for Taste?
Ever wondered what 'Not From Concentrate' (NFC) actually means? It’s pretty simple, but it makes a world of difference to the flavour. Most juices are made 'from concentrate', where fruit is juiced, and then all the water is removed to make a thick syrup for easy transport. Later, water is added back in. NFC juice, on the other hand, is simply pasteurised and bottled directly after the fruit is pressed.
Think of it like the difference between instant coffee granules and a freshly brewed pot of filter coffee. One is a convenient, rehydrated version of the real thing, while the other is the authentic experience, full of aroma and nuanced flavour. That's why this sparkling rhubarb apple soft drink 250ml tastes so genuinely of crisp fruit – nothing is lost, and nothing artificial is added back in.
