Currently only one cider is produced and that is sold mainly to several pubs in and around Bristol in 20-litre bag-in-boxes, although a bottle-conditioned version is also available in selected places.
The aim is to get the cider to 5.6-6.0% ABV, although nature being what is is, this can be hard to achieve. The cider is not diluted to this percentage; instead, the fermentation is stopped by repeatedly racking off the lees (yeast sediment), perhaps three or four times.
The fermentation is performed using natural yeasts. A small amount of malo-lactic fermentation may also take place.
Although termed "dry", it is sent out with some residual sugar, the gravity being close to 1.006.

BIAB at Scrumpy Pumpy Cider Fest 2020 at Cider Box, Bristol. Yelllow gold colour, no head and aroma of musty apple. Taste is oaky, apple, wood barrel, vanilla, with formic notes. Medium bodied, low carbonation, medium dry finish. Quite drinkable.
