Joining us are the men who know the liquid best: Managing Director James Clarke and Head Brewer Rob Thomson.

Since my Grandfathers time we have brewed with their hops so when it came to looking for a cider, Oldfields Cider, produced on that farm was the obvious choice.”
Geoff Thompson, Hop grower and orchard man, Oldfields Cider said: At Oldfields we’re devoted to crafting quality cider made from freshly pressed apples. All our ciders are concentrate free, meaning they are crammed full of natural flavour!
