Hi I'm Paul Loader and I started Loader's Cider started as a hobby in 2015 with my son George and made some very good cider from local unwanted cider apples from old organically managed and often neglected orchards, most of which were planted and supplied the old Taunton Cider Co. For a few years it was a learning curve finding out about the better varieties and what worked and what didn’t. We then entered the Bath and West Cider Competition and won Silver and Bronze in the farmhouse category.

Our ciders are of the typical West Somerset type using higher tannin but slightly lower acid varieties giving the cider a very golden colour and softness on the palate and an good apple taste - hopefully you will experience the same when you try our ciders.

Tricky Cider is run by Matt Gillett, a lover of both Cider and Somerset. Matt grew up in nearby Taunton and after spending the majority of his years studying the art of engineering he decided that a country pursuit was the path to happiness. A life long disciple of cider, Matt took over Tricky in 2018 initially working with his friend Freddie Farnworth. Matt now runs the business as Freddie goes on to pursue his unique vision for brewing beer. Now operating from Higher Willand Farm high on the Blackdown hills he aims to produce high quality traditional ciders with complex rich flavours and tannins. His not so secret approach is to make use of the many old and varied orchards that exist across the Somerset levels to source not only a wide variety of fruit, but some of the best quality and most sought after cider apples around.

Wadys Cider

They have orchards and produce craft cider using these apples:

Red Falstaff (sweet) is the only apple in our orchard that you would enjoy eating!! Juicy and crunchy with a nice balance of sweetness and acidity.

Betty (sharp). The fruit ripens to primrose yellow and has a good crisp flavour - similar to a Bramley.

Angela (bittersharp). A new variety that produces well-flavoured pink juice. Cropping is heavy and earlier than many other cider apples.

Amanda (bittersweet). Another relatively new variety. It produces large fruit and is a heavy, regular cropper. The juice is sweet and astringent.

Dabinett (bittersweet) is a 'vintage' cider apple - meaning it is capable of producing a well flavoured cider without the need for blending with other varieties.

The Taproom is open from midday until 8pm every Saturday serving fresh cider and beer. There is also outdoor seating and dogs (on lead) are welcome too.

Wilkins Cider

Land's End Farm, Mudgley, Wedmore BS28 4TU. Telephone: 01934 712385. Website: http://wilkinscider.com.

Roger doesn't "do" email or messaging or any of that stuff - you can only telephone him to order your cider cheese & flagons on 01934 712385. About me and the farm…

I’m Roger Wilkins and my family have been producing proper traditional cider from our farm in Mudgley Somerset for nigh on 1,000 years… well all right, not quite that long, it just seems that way.

The farm is open 7 days a week from 10:00 until 8:00, ‘cept Sundays when we close at 1:00pm, so I can have a quiet Sunday lunch.

You’re very welcome to come along to the farm and sample my CAMRA award-winning cider and then you’ll want to buy some. Want to order cider but can’t get here? I don’t do any of this e-commerce stuff – just call me on 01934 712385 and I can send you the best cider in Somerset! Why not order some cheese too, while you’re talking to me? Cheddar and Stilton cheese like you never tasted before, especially our un-pasteurised Cheddar – proper stuff! The UK “Independent” Newspaper voted me cider Number 1 for Somerset Ciders saying: “Not a cider for the novice – a sip of Wilkins’ will put hairs on your chest. And those hairs will sprout hairs. Roger makes his cider the traditional way, leaving the juice to ferment naturally in wooden barrels, resulting in a fearsome, robust, Lucozade-hued booze that’s not ready to tap until Roger says it’s ready. Roger ‘doesn’t do email’ but welcomes phone orders for his sweet, medium or dry ciders.”

If you come ‘ere be careful, mind, as it’s a working farm and we don’t have any of that fancy modern shop layout here, just barrels in my cider barn. Got wonderful tasting Cheddar and Stilton cheese and lots of fresh local vegetables, eggs, pickles and the like for sale, too. If you’re in Somerset for a holiday you can call in, get your cider and then go for a lovely walk across Westhay Moor on the Somerset Levels – appreciate the countryside, that’s what I say.
