Hecks ‘Glastonbury Gold’ (6.5%) Somerset
We featured Hecks Kingston Black in our Single Varieties case, which is made from a Bitter-Sharp apple (meaning it has high levels of tannin and high acidity). This is made from a blend of Bitter-Sweet apples (high tannins but lower acidity) and this produces a very different cider as a result.
Isaac ‘Anti-Gravity’ (5%) Dorset
We featured Isaac's Refraction in our Wassail case. Anti-Gravity is made from a different blend of apples and you can taste the difference. This is a bit drier and a bit stronger and shows how a different blend from the same orchard can produce quite different cider.
McCrindle’s 'Vintage' (6%) Gloucestershire
We featured McCrindle’s Medium-Dry in our New Tricks case and it was very popular so we thought we’d take the opportunity to feature its sister cider. This is a bit sweeter but is still a proper cider and the sweetness is nicely balanced with the tannins.
Orchard Park Farms '#4' (6%) Somerset
We haven’t featured Orchard Park Farms cider before but this is a sequel of a different sort: each year a different blend is produced reflecting the different characteristics of the season. This is blend no. 4 and we think it’s the best yet!
Sandford Orchards ‘Devon Scrumpy’ (6%) Devon
We featured Sandford’s Vintage range in our Devon Heaven case but this is a different style of cider altogether. Where the Vintage range was sparkling and matured in oak for strength and flavour, this is a more traditional, easy-drinking, still, farmhouse cider.
Sunshine Cider ‘Urchin’ (5.5%) Somerset
We featured Urchin’s stable-mate Scallywag in our Somerset Discovery case. Where Scallywag is a blend, Urchin is a single-varietal made exclusively from the Dabinett apple. Like Scallywag, despite the novelty branding, Urchin is a surprisingly good cider!
We hope that you enjoy this month’s selection. Watch out for our March case and if you haven’t done so already why not subscribe to get 15-20% off the individual case price.

Made in the UKHow quickly will I get my order?
We will ship all orders in 2 working days maximum, often next day. Deliveries are only made Monday to Friday.
Can I request delivery for a specific day?
Unfortunately we can't guarantee delivery for a specific date, but will try our best to delay it if needed for a future date. Just add a note to checkout.
What happens If I am not in?
Because we are shipping a Licensed product (alcohol), parcels wont normally be left safe. One of 3 things will happen:
1. It will be delivered to a neighbour and signed for - the tracking will show a photo
2. Delivery will be attempted 2 more times to you
3. It will be taken to your local Post Office for you to collect, and a card left through your letterbox.
How much does delivery cost?
Delivery is £5.95 for most of UK for your first case and then £2.95 for additional ones. Rather than hiding the delivery cost in the product price and offering free delivery (there’s no such thing as free delivery!) we’d rather be transparent about the cost of the product and the cost of the delivery.
Are there any places you cannot ship?
We currently only ship within the UK. Delivery to UK islands, Scottish Islands and Scottish Highlands postcodes may cost extra - delivery charges will be displayed at checkout. Unfortunately we cannot now deliver to Northern Ireland or the Channel Islands - apologies. Nor can we ship outside the UK.
I live in Bristol. Can I collect?
Unfortunately our licence doesn’t allow us to have customer collections on site so we can only take orders for delivery, sorry! Watch this space though for Summer 2024.
How can I track my order?
When we ship your order, you should receive an email from us containing a tracking code from our couriers . The quickest way to track your parcel is to follow the tracking link and this will show you the status of your delivery in real time. This will also allow you to change any delivery details if you need to. If you have any further problems, please email us at queries@bristolcidershop.co.uk and we will do our best to help. Sorry we don't have a phone number.
Can I add a Gift Message?
Yes you can, simply add it in at checkout and we will include it on a card. No paperwork is included in the boxes, so no pricing information is given out.
