Our read

The Hub verdict

Getting both Peter Jones and Deborah Meaden onto one deal is not a small thing, and Andy Murray managed it at his asking terms. The Drinks Bakery sought £50,000 for 25%, a £200,000 valuation, and the two Dragons split the investment without pushing for more equity.

Biscuits engineered to pair with wine and beer is a specific, giftable food proposition, and when two heavyweight investors co-sign a raise that modest it usually reflects belief in the concept's retail and hospitality potential rather than a need to spread risk. Murray kept three-quarters of the company and secured two well-connected partners in one move. Whether the biscuits are still stocked is something we have earmarked to confirm.

Two big-name Dragons, one modest ask, no equity added.

Worth knowing: The deal above is public record from the episode. We never treat an on-air handshake as proof a product is still for sale today.
