Belfast Family Drinks Company Boards Enterprise Rail Service
A Belfast family drinks company is celebrating after securing a place on the drinks menu of the
Enterprise rail service connecting Belfast and Dublin.
Longbridge Drinks, which handcrafts its range of mixers, sodas and cordials in Belfast, now has
two of its products available onboard Enterprise trains in both Standard and First Class.
Passengers can now enjoy Belfast Tonic Water and Belfast Raspberry & Rose Soda in 200ml
bottles, either as a standalone refreshment or as the perfect accompaniment to a gin and tonic
while travelling between the two cities.
For Longbridge Drinks founder Wayne Adair, the listing represents another significant milestone
for the family business.
“We are absolutely delighted to see our products onboard the Enterprise service. Everything we
produce is made here in Belfast, so it means a lot to know that people travelling between Belfast
and Dublin can enjoy a local product during their journey.”
The company has spent almost 26 years producing drinks in Belfast and has built a reputation for
its handcrafted approach and distinctive range of flavours.
Wayne was keen to acknowledge the support of Neil Hanna and the team at CCSL, who
selected Longbridge Drinks for the onboard offering.
“We would like to sincerely thank Neil Hanna and everyone at CCSL for giving us this
opportunity. As a small family business, support like this makes a real difference. It is fantastic to
see local products being given a platform on such an important transport service.”
The Enterprise service carries thousands of passengers each week between Belfast and Dublin,
providing Longbridge Drinks with an opportunity to showcase its Belfast made products to
travellers from across the island and beyond.
The company hopes this will be the first of several Longbridge Drinks products to appear
onboard, with plans to introduce additional flavours to the range in the future.
For a family business that started in Belfast and continues to produce everything locally, seeing
its products served on one of Ireland’s most recognisable rail services is a moment of real pride.
