Hepworth & Co // Horsham
Andy Hepworth, managing
director and head brewer of
Hepworth Brewery, was the
youngest head brewer in the
country by 1985, winning
many awards, and since then
he has used all his skills and
expertise to create his own
beer in his own independent
brewery. Hepworth Brewery
was named the Sussex
Drink Producer of the Year at
the 2014 Sussex Food and
Drink Awards, all thanks to
the excellent produce and
love that goes into making
each different beer. Varieties
include Hiver Honey, Saxon,
Iron Horse, Old Ale, Pullman,
and many more.

Montezuma’s // Birdham
Montezuma’s began in 2000 with the barest of essentials and a lot of
belief from new chocolatiers (former lawyers) Helen and Simon Pattinson.
The beliefs and ethics are still there, although now the machinery is a little
more modern and a lot more useful! Enjoy treats from hot chocolate to gift
baskets, and flavours that include the sublime (butterscotch), the traditional
(mint), and the deliciously unusual (apple crumble).

exceptional producers of high quality
