Hopwells is proud to support Tom Kerridge’s campaign, calling for a fairer 10% VAT rate for hospitality.

Our pubs, restaurants, cafés, hotels, bars and venues are at the heart of our communities. They bring people together, create jobs and help keep our high streets alive.

But hospitality is under huge pressure from rising costs and one of the highest VAT rates in Europe.

This matters to all of us. It is not just about the businesses we visit and enjoy. It is also about the suppliers, producers, manufacturers, drivers and teams behind the scenes who help keep hospitality running.

At Hopwells, we work with hospitality businesses every day, and we know how important this sector is to British life.

We stand shoulder to shoulder with our hospitality friends and support the call for VAT to be reduced to 10%.

When it’s this hot, ice becomes less of a garnish and more of a survival strategy 🧊☀️
But did you know ice isn’t just frozen water?

The Ice Co is the UK’s No.1 ice brand, and has been keeping customers cool since 1860. Their crystal-clear cubes are produced using a fully automated system, made and packed in just 25 minutes, then moved straight into cold storage ready to chill drinks properly.

And for venues serving premium drinks, the cube really does matter. The Ice Co. Super Cubes are extra-large, made with spring water, and designed to melt slowly, meaning your gin, whisky, cocktail or mocktail stays cooler for longer without being watered down too quickly.

So yes, technically it’s ice.
But in a glass on a day like today?
It’s temperature control.
It’s presentation.
It’s customer experience.

It’s the difference between “that’ll do” and “that’s exactly what I needed.”

And for our Hopwells customers; stock up while the sunshine is doing its thing.
Order - Supercube Ice Cubes - Product Code: 720058

Because nobody wants to tell a thirsty customer: “Sorry, we’ve run out of ice.”

The Boomtown Rats may have declared they don’t like Mondays… but we’re not sure Mondays deserve all the bad press.

Yes, the inbox is full.
Yes, the prep list has somehow doubled overnight.
Yes, the first coffee of the day deserves a standing ovation.

But in foodservice, Monday is where the week gets moving.
It’s fresh fridges, fresh stock, fresh ideas and, hopefully, no one discovering the weekend stocktake was “mostly remembered”.

At Hopwells, we’re here to help make Mondays feel a little less Monday-ish, with reliable deliveries, quality ingredients and everything kitchens need to start the week strong.

Here’s to full fridges, smooth service and a productive week ahead.
