Product details
Bovril Beef Flavoured Drink is one of Britain's most recognised savoury hot drinks, supplied here in a 450g tin. Made from beef extract, it delivers a rich, meaty flavour and is ready in seconds — simply mix with hot water and adjust to taste. The 450g tin provides approximately 90 servings, making it a practical format for regular use across catering kitchens, vending operations, staff rooms and hospitality environments.
First developed in the 1870s by Scottish entrepreneur John Lawson Johnston as "Johnston's Fluid Beef", Bovril has been a British staple for well over a century. The name combines "bovine" with "vril" — a word associated with strength and energy in Victorian fiction — and Bovril Ltd was formally established in 1889. Today it remains a trusted choice wherever a warming, savoury drink is needed.
