30 Years of Big Flavour
A Bloody Mary is a difficult drink to get right. Perfectly balancing over a dozen herbs & spices is no easy feat. Since our launch in 1996, Big Tom has an uncompromising approach to great taste and quality ingredients and one single mission - to make the best Bloody Mary ever... every time!
1996
Born from a Better Bloody Mary
Frustrated by his inability to find a consistently good Bloody Mary in pubs across the country, our founder, Lawrence, devised something truly special - Big Tom. Combining the finest tomato juice with a powerful blend of herbs and spices, Big Tom was born.
Late 1990s
Finding the Definitive Recipe
Getting a Bloody Mary right is no easy feat! Big Tom combines over a dozen herbs and spices, and getting the balance right on such a complex drink is near on impossible! As we refined the recipe over the following years, we discontinued our original recipe and replaced it with our 'Rich & Spicy' - the recipe we have today.

A Royal Seal of Approval
In 2002, it was our great honour as a company to receive a Royal Warrant from Her Majesty The Queen - a mark of provenance and quality.
