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.
