New in from Clarkson’s Farm … SPAR North of England launches Hawkstone

New in from Clarkson’s Farm … SPAR North of England launches Hawkstone

SPAR stores across the North of England are launching a trio of Hawkstone products this week through James Hall & Co. Ltd.

Fresh from Clarkson’s Farm and landing on the shelves will be Hawkstone Premium Lager in 330ml bottles, Hawkstone Pils in 330ml bottles, and Hawkstone Cider in a 500ml bottle.


The range will be sold in a select number of SPAR stores in individual bottles with the premium lager priced at £2.75, the pilsner at £2.49, and the cider at £2.99.

All Hawkstone lagers are brewed with premium barley grown by British farmers, ensuring the highest quality and freshest taste.

The brand’s commitment to local sourcing extends to its cider, made with only freshly pressed apples from British orchards – never from concentrate.

“We are thrilled to be selling Hawkstone products and we anticipate that the premium lager, pilsner, and cider will be in strong demand from customers, particularly those who are fans of Clarkson’s Farm," said Rob Midgley, Head of Trading for Licenced products at James Hall & Co. Ltd.

“We know that Hawkstone is a sought-after brand, and there has been real thirst for the range from both our company-owned G&E Murgatroyd SPAR stores and our SPAR independent retailers.

“By selling the product in individual bottles, it provides fans of the show who may not have tried it a chance to sample it, and introduces the product to new customers too, hopefully encouraging them to develop a taste for Hawkstone products longer term.”

Mr Kipling introduces new Simnel Slices as part of its Easter range

The UK’s number one cake brand , Mr Kipling, is launching new limited-edition Simnel Slices just in time for Easter. Expanding the season beyond the classic chocolate treats, Mr Kipling is bringing a fruity Easter flavour onto shelves, expanding retailers’ seasonal cake ranges this year.

Simnel is the third most popular cake flavour at Easter , growing 7.4 per cent versus 2023. Often found across Easter in larger sharing cakes, the new Mr Kipling slices look to meet the growing demand for this flavour in a smaller convenient format, leveraging Mr Kipling’s number one cake format. Whilst Simnel is highly relevant to the season, there is an untapped opportunity in a smaller slices format. This launch will tap into the demand for seasonally relevant options among shoppers aged 45 and above , with Mr Kipling’s tried and tested credentials. New Simnel slices encapsulate a fluffy and moist sponge with succulent dried fruit, sandwiched with a moist marzipan flavour filling and topped with soft marzipan flavour icing.
