Porridge is the traditional breakfast of champions and traditional prison food, deriving from the word ‘pottage’ meaning ‘soup’ or ‘stew’.

Wolfys Creamy Honey (which was designed especially for British Airways) and Root Veg Couscous will be on all Short Haul and non-EU flights. We have partnered with a fellow Gloucestershire business whose porridge brand, Wolfys, is unique. Each pot of Wolfys has another little pot of jam, marmalade or honey hidden inside, except in the plain & simple. But our partnership goes beyond the 'spin-to-win a tap' competition. We can offer Wolfys' client base attractive terms in investing in a hot tap for their business, café or eaterie."

We’re also looking at innovative ways to reduce the sugar content of the little pot of marmalade or jam provided in each Wolfys product.

And after supplying many samples, more product development and conversation, James heard the good news that British Airways loved the product and were going to list not one, but two lines. He said: "For us, as a small family run business, this is a really special feather in our cap and something that puts our amazing town on the map.Energy efficiency is a key benefit in today's environmentally-conscious world and is partly why we are installing hot taps in business boardrooms and breakout rooms for teams nationwide, as well as new builds and kitchen refurb upgrades projects.
