05 Nov Best of Bonfire Night
Top products to light up festivities (and the sky!) this fireworks week
The bang, pops and whistles have already started… Bonfire Night – now almost worth rephrasing to Fireworks Week – is off to a flying start this November. Offering the perfect excuse to gather, wrap-up warm and enjoy the spectacle of sparkles. Whether you’re planning a big night out or a cosy evening at home, these are the products to know about:
Bonfire Night Bangers
If your Bonfire Night plans revolve around the grill, Heck’s Bonfire Bangers are a must-try. New for 2025, this limited-edition sausage combines British pork with a warming blend of smoked paprika, apple and a hint of chilli – a flavour profile designed for cool November evenings. They’re perfect tucked into soft brioche rolls with caramelised onions, served straight from the barbecue or fire pit. It’s the kind of comforting, crowd-pleasing product that embodies the spirit of the season: hearty, simple and just a little bit fiery.
Hot Tipples Tickle Your Fancy?
The latest launch
from Inch’s – their new premium circa-2025 draught cider, Inch’s Riversider™ – is ideal for mulled cider to keep cold hands warm during fireworks displays. Crafted in Herefordshire and arriving at 4.7% ABV, Riversider gives just the right balance of lightly sparkling fizz and a slightly hazy golden pour, with crisp British-apple flavour and a clean, balanced finish. When the fire’s crackling, the stars are out and friends are gathered around a garden bonfire, this cider offers a premium alternative to the usual tipple, great to serve alongside toasted marshmallows or paired with comforting sausage baps while watching the fireworks.
Twisted (but sustainable) Fire Starter!
We won’t apologies for using a Prodigy lyric, but we will for anyone given the thankless task of starting and stoking the Bonfire. And yes, fire-lighting can be a chore but the new eco-friendl
y fire-lighter box, Fire Up Natural Sustainable Firelighters take the heat off with a cleaner burn, easier ignition and less fuss. Ideal when you’ve got a fire going as the centrepiece of your bonfire night event – you’ll spend less time battling kindling and more time enjoying the evening.
