Cider Distributers - buy your cider wholesale or by mail order

A full list of cider distributers will be added over the coming months.

I have also decided to list those cider farms offering online sales from their website here too. The links go to their Old Scrump page where you will find a full description of the cider as well as a link to their website.

If you know of any cider distributers not listed here, I'd like to hear about them - please email me! Likewise please contact me if you discover any that have ceased business.

The English Farm Cider Centre - Although not a cider producer, a place well worth a visit if you're in the area is the English Farm Cider Centre, at Middle Farm, Firle, near Lewes in Sussex. This has what must be the biggest range of draught ciders under the same roof to be found anywhere. Well over a hundred ciders (maybe even 200) from all over the country can be tasted and bought there. The proprietor (John) is very friendly and knowledgeable, and a real cider enthusiast. Understandably (allowing for transport costs, etc.), not all the ciders are as cheap here as they are when bought direct from the producer, but prices are pretty reasonable nonetheless. Small quantities can be bought in 1 or 2 pint plastic containers. He also sells local draught real ale. On the same site is a farm shop with a good range of excellent cheeses, fruit & veg, chutneys, jams, and other stuff like that.
Directions: on north side of A27 Lewes - Eastbourne road between Firle and Selmeston.
