Who we are

Gun Hill Honey

Produced in small batches in the heart of England’s Wealden countryside, Gun Hill Honey creates exceptional raw honey defined by place, purity, and quiet craftsmanship. Rooted in tradition and guided by nature, each harvest reflects the landscape from which it comes—wildflower meadows, ancient woodland, and unspoilt pasture lending depth, nuance, and character to every jar.

To craft the worlds best honey, three elements are essential: outstanding bees, an unspoilt environment, and uncompromising methods.

In the historic heart of Gun Hill—where the rhythms of the land have remained largely unchanged since Tudor England—our apiary sits far from towns, roads, and modern pollution, beneath the gentle rise of the South Downs.

Here, premium Buckfast bees and carefully selected pedigree queens forage freely across Sussex wildflowers, fruit trees, and ancient woodland. Drawing nectar from native flora, they produce a honey of rare distinction—floral, opulent, and profoundly pure, shaped by season, soil, and setting.

Our hives are managed using time-honoured apiarist traditions that prioritise the wellbeing of the bees and the integrity of their environment. Harvesting is undertaken slowly and with restraint, allowing the natural rhythm of the hive to determine both yield and flavour. The result is a honey that is expressive of provenance, seasonality, and craft.

Each jar is gently cold-filtered, left entirely unblended, and untouched by modern processing. This careful approach preserves the honey’s natural enzymes, pollen, and complexity, delivering a vitality and clarity that industrial methods cannot replicate. Nothing is added. Nothing is removed. Only what the bees themselves have created.

From hive to jar, every detail is considered. Sustainable materials, refined design, and elegant presentation reflect our belief that true luxury lies in honesty, restraint, and thoughtful execution. Inspired by the geometry of the hive, our packaging is both functional and sculptural—designed to be as enduring as the honey it holds.

Gun Hill Honey is more than a product. It is an expression of place, provenance, and discipline—a celebration of craft over scale, and of luxury defined not by excess, but by care.

Made slowly. Produced responsibly. Intended to be savoured.
