OUR STORY
CIDER WAS A HOBBY UNTIL 2015, NOW IT IS VERY MUCH FAMILY LIFE.
We made our first batch of cider as most do - from the apple tree in our garden. Turns out we were born to be cider makers! We started Napton Cidery the very next year, with the sole mission to collect unwanted apples from our village and surrounding orchards to make something wonderful. From pressing a simple 2000 litres in 2015, we now press over 160,000 litres per year, all sourced from traditional, unsprayed orchards in Herefordshire to support sustainable British farming. Find out more about our commitment to sustainability here. You can now enjoy a pint of Napton Cider in over 50 establishments and the list is always growing! Get in touch to find out where your closest pint is.
We’ve now expanded our cidery at Holroyd House Farm to include a shop and taproom. Here you can buy or sit and enjoy all of our products, including our limited edition ciders, our apple juice and our apple cider vinegar. We also have a hand-picked selection of craft beer, wine and spirits from local producers.
OUR TEAM
We are a family-run business and with help from our wonderful team, we’ve grown our cidery into something really special, without ever compromising on our values. You can find our founders, married couple Charlotte and Jolyon, getting stuck in at the cidery: whilst Jolyon perfects our cider recipes, Charlotte runs the taproom and shop onsite. Our team has now grown considerably as we’ve expanded our operations! If you’re passionate about REAL cider and you’d like come on board, check our vacancies page.
