We assess the cider house
We review provenance, production, product fit, trade readiness and the practical requirements of working together.
From Somerset orchards to local bars
How Orchard Route works.
We bring selected independent cider houses together, make ordering straightforward for pubs and coordinate local delivery through On The Level Brew Co.
The route in four stages
Clear roles from producer to venue.
Orchard Route coordinates the commercial and delivery side while each cider maker keeps control of the cider and its identity.
We agree the range
Products are selected around quality, cider-house identity, hospitality suitability and current availability.
Pubs choose the simplest ordering route
Existing On The Level customers can add Orchard Route cider to their usual order. Other venues can order directly from Orchard Route by email or phone.
On The Level delivers locally
All Orchard Route orders are consolidated and delivered through On The Level Brew Co.’s established local rounds rather than requiring each producer to make every drop.
What Orchard Route coordinates
The practical work between maker and venue.
Trade presentation
Clear producer information, formats and product positioning for hospitality customers.
Simple ordering
Existing OTL customers use their usual ordering route; other venues can contact Orchard Route directly at [email protected] or 01460 497104.
Local distribution
Collection, stock planning and delivery are arranged through On The Level Brew Co.’s established local rounds.
