East Norfolk Cider
Hidden in Scratby, on the East Coast. East Norfolk Trading Co. was established in 2009 by Russell Watson, who has since been joined by his eldest son Archie. They have been producing a quality range of ciders and apple juice from locally sourced apples ever since.
Some of East Norfolk Ciders signature brews, such as the Romany Rose (6.5%) and Normal 4% Norfolk are made using apples from their own orchards in Norfolk. We have selected two of their ciders that contain no added sugar. East Norfolk do not use natural yeast, however, so their ciders contain sulphites.
Giggle Cider
Giggler Cider is produced in Bramfield, Suffolk using 100% apple juice pressed from apples grown the Organic way in their own orchard. Their ciders are free of any additives (sulphates or sweeteners) and are fermented with the natural wild yeasts present in the air.
Nethergate Press
Nethergate Press is part of Nethergate Brewery and Distillery, which is situated in the beautiful historic Suffolk Town of Long Melford.
