Their story
Broadoak Cider has been made at The Cider Mill in Clutton, near Bristol, since 1984, when the business began by pressing apples and pears for juice and cider. It's still run by the Brunt family, now in its fourth generation, with father and son Brian and Steven Brunt between them bringing around 50 years of cidermaking experience. The company uses English apples grown on Somerset orchards to make a wide range of ciders and perries, from traditional bag-in-box ciders and a classic perry through to fruit-flavoured ciders such as mango, rhubarb, and rum and raisin, plus an alcohol-free cider. Production is centred on fermenting, maturing and blending at the mill, rather than growing its own fruit.
Doesn't name its own orchard; buys English apples grown on Somerset orchards, without naming specific growers.
