Local cider
Carefully chosen Somerset farmhouse cider from small local makers.
Following Somerset’s cider roots.
Somerset cider for pubs, delivered locally.
From orchard to pub
A simpler route from Somerset cider makers to local pubs
Orchard Route is being built to bring standout Somerset cider into great local pubs alongside existing local delivery rounds. The idea is simple: keep it local, keep the range carefully chosen, and make it easier for pubs to serve proper Somerset cider without extra collection trips or complicated ordering.
Easy delivery
Delivered on regular local rounds, where the route makes sense.
Pub friendly
Bag-in-box and bottled cider chosen for simple service and storage.
How the route will work
Local cider, less running about
Orchard Route is designed to make Somerset cider easier for pubs to stock, while keeping the connection to local producers front and centre. It is a focused cider route rather than a national catalogue.
We choose the cider
Somerset ciders selected for quality, character and pub suitability.
Pubs order simply
A focused range keeps ordering clear, practical and easy to manage.
The route does the rest
Cider travels on trusted local delivery rounds where the route fits.
A warmer welcome
Local cider should feel like a good evening at the pub.
Orchard Route is being shaped around that same feeling: warm lights, proper cider, simple ordering, and a local route that makes sense for Somerset pubs.

The route is being mapped
Launching soon — the cider houses are maturing nicely.
We’re gathering the makers, checking the route, and getting everything ready behind the scenes. Soon this page will show the cider houses, formats, ordering details and the stories behind each stop on the Orchard Route.
In the meantime: apples are ripening, boxes are being lined up, and Somerset’s cider roots are getting ready to travel.
