When it’s really warm, a cloudy lemonade or sparkling elderflower drink from our friends at Lovely Drinks (lovelydrinks.co.uk) would go down a treat.” – Philippa Till, Here Today Scone Tomorrow. sophiaveresphotography.co.uk) “Your family and friends will love our watermelon margarita. Made with tequila, sugar, watermelon, lime, blueberries and mint, it’s the perfect summer cooler.” – Thea Wise, Melt Mobile Bars “Thatchers Family Reserve embraces a rediscovered century- old recipe, crafted by William Thatcher in 1904 on the family’s Somerset farm. The first gently pressed juice of the Katy apple is used to create this dry, subtle sparkling apple wine. Serve it chilled in a flute for a taste of summer.” – Penny Adair, Thatchers ▲ Make the most of the area’s amazing foodie trucks for al fresco nuptials.
