About Norfolk Punch

Original Norfolk Punch, a great British drink made once again in Great Britain.

Original Norfolk Punch 700mL

Original Norfolk Punch has returned by popular demand! A healthy non-alcoholic herbal drink, first made by the Benedictine Monks of Welle Manor in the Fenlands of western Norfolk at least 700 years ago, who believed Norfolk Punch was “nature's answer to tenseness, tiredness, and lowness of spirits”.

Original Norfolk Punch has:

  • no alcohol
  • no preservatives
  • no artificial flavours or colours

Although Original Norfolk Punch has no alcohol, it has a remarkable ability to induce a feeling of cheerfulness and wellbeing. Served piping hot to release the full benefit of the herbs, Norfolk Punch, is an ideal accompaniment to any meal... pleasure without alcohol!

Original Norfolk Punch is equally enjoyable chilled, and on hot days is very refreshing and helps replace lost energy. A wineglass full taken morning and night will allow the gentle but potent herbs to restore the natural balance of your body.

Original Norfolk Punch is now being made again in East Anglia. Be part of the Great Revival!
