Sadly, we have had to take down our online mail order drinks offer (for now), as our current courier have increased the charges so much for shipping, we cannot afford to subsidise and we are losing money on each box. We have agreed a new deal with a new supplier, but this will not start till January 2026. Huge apoligies, and not ideal timing for the festive period. We will be re-launching the online shop in 2026. However we have left up for sale on our webshop, ‘Vouchers’ (as the majority of these are often used in-store and can still be of course and clock & collect in store options. Though if you are buying as a present for mail order use, it is worth noting you won’t be able to use till the shop is back up online. Vouchers do have 12 months vailidity from purchase. We also have ‘Beer Tastings’ and ‘Private Hire’ available to purchase online. Link HERE Thank you, team Hop Hideout
