Our Rough Old Wife cider is available from several pubs, restaurants, farmshops and festivals almost exclusively within the East Kent region. We like to keep it local which keeps logistics costs low (which we don’t then need to pass onto you so keeping our prices as keen as we can) and ensures we are close to our customer base.
However we are very pleased when visitors or those from further a field would like to try our cider. We therefore operate either a buy&collect service from the farm cidery or can ship direct in 5 or 20 litre boxes to you within the UK (other European destinations by arrangement). Please note that we will require proof of age and/or Credit / Debit / Paypal. when
****2009 New service**** By popular demand we have introduced a "Juice Your Own" service. This will allow you to bring your own apples to our press and go away with your own pure apple juice for immediate use, storage or to make your own home consumption cider. Containers and casks will be available and we welcome enquiries from groups or friends who would like to get together. Contact Simon for further details, pricing and availability.
****2009 Cider Courses**** Many people have asked us if we can impart our knowledge on the orchard and cider making. As such we now run in the Autumn / Winter months starting from end of October one day hands on introductory courses at the Cidery for those wanting to know the history and practicalities of cider making. Several are booked up already so contact Simon for information and availability. Ever wanted to make more of those forgotten rotting apples from your trees?.....then this is for you!
