Mitchells & Butlers (M&B), has just signed a deal to sell St Peter’s Without, which was launched in 2016 by St Peter’s Brewery, near Bungay.

“There is a clear demand for high quality, alcohol-free drinks and St Peter’s Without is the perfect alternative for those who want to cut down or cut out alcohol, but still enjoy a night out,” said St Peter’s chief executive Steve Magnall. “Securing this listing with M&B is a huge step for us and one that will allow Without to be enjoyed by a huge range of consumers.”

Mitchells & Butlers operates more than 1700 restaurants and pubs across the UK, including Vintage Inns, All Bar One and Nicholson’s. “We’re delighted to be listing St Peter’s Without,” said Mitchells & Butlers procurement manager Ben Lockwood.
