Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 9 Oct, 09:55 · Archive

Straight and Narrow Drinks, a UK maker of low-calorie alcohol-free beverages, has entered liquidation after six years in business. The company, established in October 2020, produced drinks made with natural ingredients and free from artificial colours and flavourings.

Joint liquidators Nick West and Craig Povey of BTG Begbies Traynor (Central) LLP were appointed on 30 September. Companies House records show that the company has been served with a winding-up notice, which states it will be struck off the register and dissolved not less than two months from 29 September unless cause is shown to the contrary. Upon dissolution, the company's property and rights will be deemed bona vacantia and belong to the Crown.

Despite positive customer reception, accounts for the year up to October 2025 are overdue. Customers praised the company's drinks on Trustpilot, with reviewers describing them as 'brilliant' and saying each flavour was 'delicious' with 'no compromise on taste'.
