Welcome! We're Tom and Lydia, natural cider makers.
Our low intervention ciders contain only fruit that the two of us have handpicked from unsprayed, biodiversity-rich, traditional standard orchards and are as local to us as possible. Apples are the only ingredient you will ever find in any of our ciders!
We don’t add any sugar, water or sulphites and we don’t pasteurize. Fermentation happens spontaneously using the apples' wonderful wild yeasts!

On our tours and tastings...
Book a tour"Tom & Lydia are so incredibly passionate about what they do. Their knowledge and enthusiasm is off the scale. It was an absolute pleasure to spend time with them at their apple orchard learning about the history of cider making, the various varieties of apples they grow and all topped off by a glass or two of their excellent cider. A very enjoyable experience and as 2 sceptics to the world of cider, they may well have converted us!!"

On Bisquet 2022
Buy Bisquet"Sherbet, herbaceous, leafy, wild, waxy citrus peel and apricot nose. On the
palate it’s all that and backed with structure. Plump, juicy fruit with
apple, lemon and pineapple, lifted by a mousse of carbonation, a fresh
squeeze of acidity and chalky tannins for a full on finish. Another 10/10. Grab Bisquet 2022 as soon as humanly possible."Martyn Goodwin Sharman, October 2024
How big is our cider's carbon footprint?
We are hugely proud to be the first UK cidery to publish our carbon footprinting data. Each bottle of cider now contains this information on the label. We believe this is an essential metric for us all to start being able to make conscious and informed choices about what we consume and the effect those decisions will have on our planet.
'All I think about is picking apples'
This season we have had the complete honour of being shadowed by Finn Beales, an award-winning travel, lifestyle and commercial photographer. Finn has beautifully captured what it is to make and love cider through both still and moving image whilst exploring every aspect of our process from handpicking to pressing.
“We want to get ourselves away from the disposable, consumptive culture of debt and infinite growth.”
Read about our cidermaking ethos in this wonderful article for Pellicle Mag by Helen Jerome, with beautiful photography by Lily Waite.
