The British Broth Company (formerly Boil and Broth Ltd) was born out of a personal journey towards a healthier lifestyle. Our founder, inspired by her experience, wanted to create products that reflected her passion for wholesome and nourishing food.
Several years ago, Rachel Down experienced a series of health challenges, including persistent digestive issues and overall fatigue. These struggles led to a deep dive into the world of nutrition, seeking natural ways to support their well-being. It was during this time that she discovered bone broth and kefir water.
Bone broth, a time-honored tradition in many cultures, intrigued our founder due to its reputed health benefits. While we do not make specific health claims, many people, including our founder, find bone broth to be a comforting and nourishing part of their diet. Its rich flavor and versatility make it a wonderful addition to various meals.
Kefir water, a fermented drink, also became a staple. Our founder found kefir water to be a refreshing and enjoyable way to incorporate fermentation into their daily routine.
Inspired by these personal experiences, our founder was motivated to share the products with a broader audience. She recognised the importance of quality ingredients and traditional preparation methods. At the British Broth Company, we are committed to using the finest ingredients to craft our products, ensuring they are as nutritious as they are delicious.
Our mission is to provide wholesome food options that fit seamlessly into your lifestyle. We believe that good food should not only taste great but also be made with integrity. That’s why all our broths are slow-cooked to extract the maximum flavour and nutrients, and our kefir water is carefully fermented to achieve the perfect balance of taste and effervescence.
We are proud of the products we create and are excited to share them with you. Whether you are looking for a comforting cup of broth on a cold day or a refreshing kefir water to enjoy, the British Broth Company is here to provide you with high-quality, delicious options.
Join us on our journey towards better nutrition and well-being. Explore our range of products and discover how they can be a part of your healthy lifestyle. Thank you for being a part of our story.
Growing the Business
Rachel started to organically grow the business at home whilst looking after her two small children aged 2 and 3, whilst her husband Simon went to work to support the family. The business was quickly growing after an increase in demand for the products, so Rachel set up a website and started to ship products all over the UK. Rachel started to study a BSc Health Science degree, keen to get some answers about the power of bone broth and also so she could develop a bone broth back by science and research.

Rachel was also helping other people with their Candida overgrowth. Overleaf is an image of weight loss after Rachel's Candida program.
Venison bone broth
Rachel decided to split the two brands and created British Broth Company so that they could better serve those who are interested in gut health for themselves.
Boil and Broth are on a mission to ensure that millions of homes have their bone broth stocked in customers cupboards all over the world.
