Description
In 1892 Thomas Fuller brought his family from Padney near Wicken, where the Fullers had been farming since at least 1695, to farm at Spinney Abbey . By 1918 the freehold was in the family, and has remained there ever since with various changes to the farm boundaries. In 1900 the farm was a mixed, mainly arable farm.

After being a successful dairy farm run by Robert Fuller for over 40 years, it was time for a change at Spinney. The farm is now run by Robert’s son, Jonathan Fuller.

We entered our first competition in November 2013 and achieved first place in the Cider & Perry category at Norwich Beer festival and the rest is history.

Bag in a box at the Railway Arms, Downham Market. Moonlight clear, absolutely still. Light sweet apple aroma with some vinegar notes. Initial sweet taste turns bitter/sour on a dime. It has one hell of a bite in the finish. Watery palate but I can live with that. A tasty and deceptively strong cider.
