The Bottle Kicking Cider Co
Leicestershire
In 2010, Rob decided to take his passion for cider making to the next level and became a craft cider producer. Over 9 years the company has expanded and now provides a variety of ciders across the Country but has not lost its original heritage or authenticity. The company, based in the quintessential village of Hallaton, Leicestershire produces a range of ciders using apples from orchards in Gloucestershire, Hertfordshire and from the farm itself.
Hallaton is the home of the ancient tradition, Bottle Kicking and Hare Pie Scrambling which takes place every Easter Monday and is claimed to be the forerunner to Rugby. The tradition and the company’s prominent position on the Hallaton try-line inspired the name of the company and its first cider, Scrambler.
