Pure, 100% natural cider—delivered fresh from our orchards.
Loader’s Cider, founded by Paul Loader in 2015, has quickly earned a reputation for creating exceptional craft cider. What began as a hobby shared with his son George has blossomed into a local favourite, with the focus always on quality, tradition, and a passion for authentic cider-making. The family-run business utilizes locally sourced, unwanted cider apples from organically managed, often overlooked orchards, many of which were originally planted by the historic Taunton Cider Co.
The uniqueness of Loader’s Cider lies in its dedication to sourcing apples from older, well-established orchards. These trees produce fruit that offers higher tannin levels and slightly lower acidity, which results in ciders that boast a beautiful golden colour and a softness on the palate, complemented by a distinct apple flavour. Through trial and error, Paul perfected his craft, learning about the ideal varieties to create their signature taste. Their commitment to quality was soon recognized when they won Silver and Bronze in the prestigious Bath and West Cider Competition, proving that passion and craftsmanship go hand in hand.
