Enjoy a SURREAL breakfast experience

SURREAL, the start-up breakfast brand re-imagining the world of cereal, is now the fastest-growing cereal brand in the UK (+456 per cent YOY), selling one box every minute in 2023, and prides itself in having created a flavour-first cereal range which tastes like the classics you loved as a kid, but without all the unhealthy downsides.

First launched to market in 2022, each of the six products in the portfolio contains a minimum of 12g of plant protein per bowl, has zero sugar and is vegan friendly and gluten-free. Not only that, but each SKU is high in fibre and low in carbs and calories, without compromising on taste.


Born from the belief that healthy cereals don’t have to taste boring, is the brainchildof founding friends Kit Gammell and Jac Chetland. Both having earned their stripes as Senior Brand Manager and Sales Director at Vita Coco, they left the business in 2021 to set up SURREAL, which has fast become the #1 contributor to value growth in the cereal category.

We started SURREAL to shake up the cereal category – it hasn’t changed in 100 years … despite being the third biggest in food and drink!” said Co-Founder Gammell. “Tasty cereals are full of sugar and healthy ones taste like cardboard. We’ve taken the tasty cereals we loved as kids and remade them to be healthy for grown-ups, without compromising on the flavour.”

Along with a thriving e-commerce shop, Surreal is also available to independents via wholesalers including CLF, CN Foods, Dundeis and Tropicana Wholesale.

Pernod Ricard UK ignites festive spirit with marketing push

As December rapidly approaches, Pernod Ricard UK is ramping up its festive marketing efforts, anticipating a resurgence in consumer confidence after a challenging year. The UK’s second-largest wine and spirits supplier is set to inspire consumers to choose Premium+ Spirits as the perfect gift or the ultimate addition to any home celebration. Throughout 2024, Premium+ Spirits have consistently outperformed Standard offerings, making this higher end of the sector a vital margin driver.

“Since last Christmas, consumer confidence has been on the rise and the outlook for the final month of 2024 is positive," said Chris Shead, Off-Trade Channel Director for Pernod Ricard UK. "Gifting and hosting remain two key trends and retailers should focus on increasing space in-store for Premium Spirits that act as the perfect gift or cocktail ingredient when wanting to show off in front of friends and family. Where possible, we encourage retailers to prioritise categories that have been capturing the hearts of consumers and this year, our big winners have been Altos Tequila, Kahlúa and Bumbu Rum, and we expect our Champagnes, G.H. Mumm and Perrier-Jouët, to be the toast of choice for festive parties this year.”
