The red wine lovers amongst you may be familiar with Good Ordinary Claret. A lovely, ‘everyday’ red that hits the spot consistently and is a go-to for it’s reliability. Well, this month we have done the same with cider – February sees a collection of super reliable drops; crowd-pleasers to a bottle, perfect chilled on their own or served with a good winter stew or curry.
Hard to define, we know, but we think you will find them all very moorish and sessionable. Sorry in advance, there is only one of each, yes we're sure they'll all leaving you wanting more!
And so here they all are:
Rich’s Golden Harvest Medium – 4.5%, Highbridge, Somerset
One of Somerset’s finest cider makers, Rich’s Golden Harvest Medium is our go-to cider when we want to demonstrate what a Medium craft cider should be like.
Pearson’s Medium Dry – 5.8%, Malvern, Worcestershire
Crafted really applies to Pearson’s. Their Medium Dry is simply delicious, very appley, but with a good level of tannin.
Sam’s Cloudy Crush – 4.5%, Medium, Winkleigh, Devon
Sam Inch started making cider in Winkleigh in 1916, and this new business is named after him! This naturally cloudy cider is super-refreshing chilled.
Lost Orchards Scottish Pure Apple – 4.5%, Scotland
A gorgeous low tannin number made from dessert varieties, which create a light, pale and very refreshing cider indeed.
Taunton Cider Dry – 4%, Dry, Taunton, Somerset
This Natural Dry is based on the original ‘Natch’ recipe, and is a really good reliable Dry cider.
Windmill Hill – 5.1%, Medium, Ilminster, Somerset
We may be a little biased including this, but this delightful Medium is made from bittersweet Redstreak and Major apples from our Director Martin’s orchards in the Taunton Vale, near Ilminster.

How much does delivery cost?
Delivery is £5.95 for most of UK for your first case and then £2.95 for additional ones. Rather than hiding the delivery cost in the product price and offering free delivery (there’s no such thing as free delivery!) we’d rather be transparent about the cost of the product and the cost of the delivery.
Are there any places you cannot ship?
We currently only ship within the UK. Delivery to UK islands, Scottish Islands and Scottish Highlands postcodes may cost extra - delivery charges will be displayed at checkout. Unfortunately we cannot now deliver to Northern Ireland or the Channel Islands - apologies. Nor can we ship outside the UK.
I live in Bristol. Can I collect?
Unfortunately our licence doesn’t allow us to have customer collections on site so we can only take orders for delivery, sorry! Watch this space though for Summer 2024.
How can I track my order?
When we ship your order, you should receive an email from us containing a tracking code from our couriers . The quickest way to track your parcel is to follow the tracking link and this will show you the status of your delivery in real time.
