Norcotts Cider Competitors

Independent since 1880. Founded by Henry Weston, Westons Cider has been family owned for over 145 years and proudly independent to this day. We are the largest cider maker of scale in the UK to use fresh juice, pressing over 40,000 tonnes of real cider apples every harvest. It’s a commitment to quality that sets us apart and keeps us rooted in the orchards of Herefordshire. Our portfolio includes leading brands such as Henry Westons and Stowford Press, with award-winning ciders enjoyed across the UK and beyond. As a family business, we do things the right way, guided by our values of People, Pride, Passion and Expertise. So much more in every drop.

The Thatcher family has been making cider since 1904 and each generation has passed down valuable secrets of cider making, creating ciders that are smooth, fresh and full of flavour. We believe our cider makers are the best in the business, and our passion for quality has led to an unrivalled range of premium ciders. We have built a team of highly experienced and motivated people. Times have changed since William Thatcher paid his staff wages in cider. What hasn’t changed is that each member of staff in our extended family is highly valued and encouraged to grow with the company.

Steeped in tradition and nestled amidst the picturesque Cornish countryside, Healeys Cyder Farm is a multi-generational family business established in 1980. We've built our reputation on meticulously crafting a diverse range of award-winning products, including ciders, wines, spirits, juices, preserves, and sauces. Our commitment to quality begins in our own orchards, where we cultivate apples that form the base of many of our award-winning products. This includes Cornwall's beloved Rattler Cornish Cloudy Cyder, a staple enjoyed in over 2000 pubs and bars across the UK, and available in major supermarkets nationwide. Beyond cyder, Healeys Cyder Farm also produces England's oldest Whiskey, alongside Cyder Brandy, premium wines from our Cornish vineyards and an array of Rattler Fruit Cyders and Gins. We cater to a variety of tastes with zero-alcohol cyder, barrel-aged cyders, traditional scrumpy, and soft drinks. In Cornwall, we are both a working farm and a successful visitor attraction, bringing over 100,000 visitors to the farm each year. Here, guests can explore the rich history of Austin Healey cars at our on-site museum, savour a delicious meal at our Old Bottlery restaurant or embark on a world of flavours in our renowned tasting room, featuring our award-winning creations. Healeys is also home to two music festivals, Rattlerfest and Little Orchard Festival.
