Serious Amounts of Cider
The Shepton Mallet Cider Mill website has this to say :- "Our history, our present and our future are guided and shaped by the rhythms of the apple harvest. A process steeped in ancient traditions and superstitions, which are still kept alive today.
Cider is our heritage and our legacy. The glories of our past and our dreams for the future. It flows through our mill and runs through our veins.
Cider Lives Here" http://www.sheptoncider.co.uk/our-story
From which you might gather that Old Ned and Old Dan are still out the back somewhere hand crafting apples into oaken vats.
I'm sure they are, but elsewhere on site megalitres of nearly all the Big Name Ciders you can think of are produced on an industrial scale. Magners, Gaymers, Addlestones, Blackthorn, Taunton etc. are all part of the company.
Also available is the wonderfully named Somerset Snuffler, a medium dry cider sadly absent at our local Tesco's.

Caught in the spotlight
The elusive Babycham, once common but now thought to be an endangered species, sheltering under cover in Garston Street. Many people reported seeing it in the open not far away in the past, but these days it seeks a less high-profile existence.
