Drink strong cider as much as yer please
Loses yer teeth and bows yer knees
Sours yer guts and makes yer wheeze
Turns yer blood and kills yer fleas
Drink strong cider as much as yer please.

New forest Cider as it looked in the 1900's

Forest Cider 1900 - 1920
Burley's New Forest Cider Shop
 Drive into Burley one of the prettiest villages in the New Forest and look for the Large Cider Barrel on the Pavement and you will find the home of the New Forest Cider. Their shop as seen opposite has been modernised from the early days of above but cider it still made the traditional way in many ways on a New Forest Commoners small holding. A New Forest Commoner has registered rights and which was given to commoners earlier this century.

New Forest Cider is nothing like in taste or look as the cider you buy in the supermarket. Here at New Forest Cider Barry Topp the owner uses only English Apples, and are just fermented juice pressed from apples from his own orchards, Dorset and Somerset. (Imported Apples are never used). You can purchase New Forest Cider straight from the barrels stored in converted cow sheds any time of the year.

At the moment we have sweet, medium, dry, Kingston Black or perry to sample and buy. Apple juice is also a bottled favourite.

Vintage steam weekend at New Forest Cider
If you would like to see the cider being made come and visit us over the weekend of 18th and 19th October at our Steam and Straw pressing weekend, where you can see cider being made using a "workman" steam driven press and our 1850 hand screw press.

Barry Topp - The New Forest Cider man

Have you seen the cider man, he travels all the shows
He'll pass the time of day away with everyone he knows
But if you are stranger, then don't you pass him by
Until you've had a pint or two of his medium, sweet or dry.
