There
are many small producers of real cider and perry
scattered around the UK. The area deservedly most
famous for scrumpy is the West Country - notably
in Somerset, Devon, Gloucestershire and Herefordshire
- but many counties have cider farms. The number
of smallscale cider producers has been declining
over the years for a variety of reasons, although
it is encouraging that recently new producers have
been appearing. This page attempts to list all active
cider producers across the country.
Old
Scrump's Cider Map containing all active cider producers
listed on this website. Please note that not all
are open to the public, so please check with the
listing, and if neccessary call the farm before
visiting!
Finding
Cider Farms
Finding some of the cider farms is definitely made
easier if you have SatNav or a map with you. Many
of the cider farms seem to favour conducting their
trade in out-of-the-way places, and can be difficult
to find even with directions. I have to admit there've
been a few times when I've given up trying to find
a cider farm after running out of time and getting
hopelessly lost - still, times like those make the
pint of scrumpy even more welcome when you do find
'em!
Opening
Hours
Most of the places listed are open during normal
"shop" hours, and some at additional times.
Some producers are only small family-run businesses,
sometimes operating from home, where you may turn
up and find they're not in - if possible it's always
advisable to check in advance if you're not sure,
rather than risk disappointment. That
way you can also ask directions as well. Before
travelling a long way to a producer you haven't
visited before this is particularly advisable -
it's happened to me a few times that I've visited
places that have either closed down (disaster!)
or run out of scrumpy (tragedy!). Luckily for me
each time there were others nearby - you may not
be so lucky! It's
worth noting here that some producers are not licenced
for retail sales and do not welcome callers. If
you are in any doubt, call ahead to check.
WARNING
TO DRIVERS! CAUTION:
if you're driving, go easy on the tasting - most
scrumpy is potent stuff (typically 6%-8% abv), and
some of the suppliers are fairly generous with the
samples - if you choose to ignore this warning and
come a cropper as a result, don't tell I, tell
'ee!
