Traditional Craft Cider from Stanhoe, Norfolk

Discover the characterful taste of Whin Hill Cider, a traditional craft cider producer rooted in the rural village of Stanhoe, just inland from the North Norfolk coast. Founded in 1994 by friends Jim Fergusson and Pete Lynn, Whin Hill began as a small cider-making project using garden apples — and has since grown into one of Norfolk’s most respected cider producers.

In pursuit of the full-bodied, mellow cider they envisioned, Jim and Pete planted over 1,000 traditional cider apple trees in Stanhoe, around ten miles from Wells-next-the-Sea. These apples — grown, harvested, and pressed locally — form the backbone of every bottle, giving Whin Hill Cider its distinctive depth and balance.

Made using traditional methods, Whin Hill cider is slow-fermented, with no shortcuts and no compromise. The result is a cider that reflects the Eastern Counties style — crisp, refreshing, and gently sharp — softened by a rounded, mellow finish that comes from patience, experience, and real craft.

Whether enjoyed on a sunny afternoon, paired with British or Norfolk cheese, or included in a Norfolk food & drink hamper, Whin Hill Cider delivers a refreshing, honest taste of the Norfolk countryside.
