Our Rough Old Wife Kent cidery produces dry to medium dry traditional hand pressed Kent ciders. Our ancient 250 tree orchard has been fully restored and provides us with an opportunity to offer you a pure natural drink with no chemicals used from growth to glass.

We do not add anything besides nature and ferment and mature in Scottish oak whisky barrels. We are fully supportive of the CAMRA campaign for real cider and conform to all the recommendations - ENJOY!

New for 2009 - "Juice Your Own" service - bring your own apples and we will press and bag for you.

New for 2010 Cider making courses - for the beginner wanting to go further, learn from our experiences (good & bad!). Contact Simon for 2010 dates.

We are also fully licensed - so if you would like to hold an "event with a difference" contact us.
