Christmas is a time for giving

Socks. We’re always receiving them at Christmas from the Auntie who “didn’t know what we’d want”. And while its great to have warm, colourful feet, at the Beer Boutique we think you deserve something a little more special.

That’s why we’ve put together a range of gift packs filled with seasonal, winter ales that are guaranteed to put a smile on your face this Christmas morning.

Because you can’t drink socks.

Drink less, Taste more.

Deck the Halls ........ It is that time of year again!!! Trees are dotted around Putney, the current thinking is that Blue Spruce is the tree most likely to hold onto its needles all Christmas. They are bushy and have a blue tint to their thick needles.

The more traditional Norway Spruce is now regarded as the cheaper choice and the most likely to shed its fine and spiky needles at the least provocation. (Don't forget you can leave your tree for recycling after Christmas outside your house - click here for details.)

Christmas Trees, floral decorations, potted plants & wreaths are all waiting for you at Bunches & Pots at 119 Lower Richmond Rd SW15 1EX. Alternatively why not come along and make your own individual wreath!

Happy Christmas from Julie & her team!
