SERVICES
For Apple juice, a minimum of approximately 5 potato sacks is required to enable us to ensure you will receive your own juice.
For cider, we require 8 feed sacks to ensure you will receive your own cider due to the size of the fermentation containers. The minimum size barrel we offer is 60L. This season we are capping our cider production for individual clients and availability will be on a first come first serve basis.
*Update
Unfortunately we have now reached our cider limit and will no longer be offering bespoke cider for the rest of the season.
Due to the high apple yield this year, we ask that you contact us before you pick your apples. We are extremely busy at this time of year and in order to make sure we can press everyone's fruit, you will need to book in a slot. Apples are better left on the tree, not in a container until you are able to drop them off at Abbiss drinks!
The Process:
Simply bring your clean fruit to our premises, if you wouldn’t eat it then it’s not good to press it for juice!
We ask that you consider our backs when choosing your containers, we spend all day lifting apples so if you can avoid over filling heavy containers it would be greatly appreciated!
We will then, sort, wash, mill and press the apples. Vitamin C will be added at this stage to prevent oxidisation (discolouration) unless requested otherwise. The juice will be left in barrels overnight to settle and then bottled and pasteurised in 750ml glass bottles with a black, red or gold screw cap. The juice is typically ready for collection within 3 days, we will let you know when it is ready to be picked up.
Due to our limited storage space we ask that you collect your juice within a few days of being informed it is ready.
Knowing when your fruit is ready:
- Before collecting your apples, you should cut a few from the tree open to check the colour of the pips, when the apples are ready the pips will turn dark brown.
- When picking an apple from the tree, the apple should pluck from the branch with ease.
- Taste your fruit, the flavour of the apple will give you an indication of the taste of the juice.
Ripe apples produce the best juice! Different varieties ripen at different times throughout the season so make sure you sample a few different apples. We are here to help so feel free to send us an email with a photo of your sliced fruit and we will advise.

Due to strict health and safety regulations, we can not re use bottles as the glass we currently use is already made from recycled glass. As a company we recycle all of our waste responsibly and encourage all of our customers to do the same for their glass. For returning customers, we can re use your boxes and will offer a discount accordingly. Simply flat pack your boxes and bring them with you when you drop off your fruit.
