Bristol Cider Shop Cider Club

What's in the box: The site does not currently state what a box contains, though the club has centred on bottles of craft cider and perry from small UK producers.

Bristol Cider Shop built its name as a specialist retailer of craft cider and perry, with a strong focus on producers from Somerset, Herefordshire and the wider West Country. Its Cider Club was set up for people who want a regular selection of bottles from small makers rather than the big commercial brands found in supermarkets. That idea remains appealing, especially if you enjoy traditional ciders and want guidance on what to try next. The problem right now is access. At the time of writing, bristolcidershop.co.uk displays a Shopify message saying the store is currently unavailable, with no product pages, club details or sign up option on view. That could mean a temporary outage, a lapsed account or a move to a new web address, but the site does not say which. Until the shop is back online, there is no way to check what the club costs, how often boxes arrive or where they ship. If you like this retailer, it is worth checking back later or looking for official updates from the shop before trying to subscribe. For now we cannot recommend signing up, simply because there is nothing to sign up to. Our score reflects that uncertainty rather than the quality of the cider itself.
