Jim Callender runs the website www.real-cider.co.uk that contains loads of cider related information, such as it's history, latest industry news, types of cider, producers and lots more.

Our last cream tea dispatch for arrival before Fathers’ Day is Thursday 15th June so orders need to...

We have spent a lot of time researching Devon based cider producers and brands so that we can include the very best in our hampers. It therefore made sense to write this blog detailing Devon cider brands, along with a bit about why the region is a prominent cider producer. For more about cider production and how to appreciate and identify high-quality cider see our Interview with 'real' cider expert Jim...
