Westons Cider Reviews 

If you are looking for a benchmark English cider, Westons Cider has perfected it with their signature Henry Westons Vintage Cider. Slow-matured in traditional oak vats using apples from a single harvest year, it is a masterclass in craft and heritage.

Westons Cider represents the gold standard of classic English cidermaking—a dependable, heritage-driven brand that effortlessly balances traditional craft with broad, accessible appeal.

Weston's vintage cider packs a punch with the alcohol content but tastes really smooth and balanced. It's a big hit with my dad, although a little strong for me!

Beautiful vintage cider with great flavours. Great for an evening treat or Sundays in the garden with friends.

Great Cider

Very tasty!

By a country mile the best ciders on the market , especially Henry Westons vintage cider if you like a strong cider with a smooth flavour .
Their other ciders such as stowford press while not as strong but are just as tasty .

Great product. Enjoyed it thoroughly and have had no issues at all

Fortunately the vegetables were edible and the gravy and horseradish sauce had some flavour but the beef tasted as grey as it looked and like the Yorkshire pudding was quite chewy. Not an enjoyable experience.

Have enjoyed Westons Vintage for a while but sometimes it is poorly stocked in supermarkets. Checked their website and ordered 3 cases which was on offer plus free delivery. Despite current website IT upgrades and some negative reviews here the order process, price, communication and delivery was faultless. Will certainly use again.

UPDATE - problems with last two deliveries due to DHL eCommerce who are beyond awful. Will try to source at supermarkets from now.

I do enjoy this product but not to impressed with the constant price changes up and down between shops .
I tried to order the product from amazon a number of times only to find the order cancelled due to damaged or out of stock when the listing showing the item in stock then having to wait 7 days to get a refund. So not impressed with this company.

We have now purchased 3 consignments of different products and we are highly delighted with everything. The vintage cider, rose vintage cider and the organic still cider are all excellent - we will try other varieties in the near future.
The online ordering process was very easy and delivery by DHL tracked was very quick.
A small issue was immediately rectified by Sophie from Customer Service.
Highly recommended.

The cider is great, but the delivery is poor. In the past few years I've had broken bottles delivered, the wrong product delivered (in both cases this was eventually sorted, with a weeks delay) and deliveries that take longer than the 2-5 days promised. As for the 2 to 5 days promised it is generally nearer 5 days (current example awaited- ordered 14.54 on a Tuesday, will be delivered following Monday). This is a long time to be thirsty, and compares poorly with other online purchases.
I read one review saying that such problems are beyond Weston's control. Disagree- they are in control of how quickly they pick and pack your order, they choose which shipping agent they use, and they specify the packaging which their products are packed in- they can choose better couriers for early delivery, and less breakage, and they can specify better packaging to further reduce breakages.
My tip: If you are going to order their excellent ciders, do so a week before you need them!

I ordered 3 boxes of cider only two turned up and then I had to wait for the third one to come still hasn’t turned up yet you think they would send out ASAP but no, you still have to wait five days and then I’ll placed another order on the same day as complaining about the first one not being delivered and that one’s been delayed as well. They say it’s normal practice, but surely Customer Services should respect the fact that I have not had my third parcel and get it out next day as a customer. You know of them a regular customer I’m now thinking twice about ordering new or more from them not a very good delivery service they offer it, but it doesn’t work.

Only reason for 2 stars is because it tastes so good. other than this..... not great!
Locally it costs alot up in the hills so i ordered direct from their site. Delivery was what let it down. 3 Boxes ordered, only 2 arrived. These were delivered to the next door business and left in the public doorway, the other box followed a week later, again being left on the doorstep of public business next door. contacted customer service and response was very text book/automated "sorry, rest knowing we strive to meet customer exp" NOT GREAT!

Purely out of being nosey, I read some of the 1 star reviews and was staggered at the effrontery of some people who seemed to blame Westons for issues they have no control over!

I have ordered several boxes from Westons and have had NO problems whatsoever. It's just a pity it's Herefordshire cider and not Somerset!

Ordering online can sometimes be hit and miss but it's a definite hit for Westons everytime!

The promotional Stowford Press pack said the competition was open from 1 July 2024 to 31 March 2025, internet access required. Sadly, the Weston Cider website makes it impossible to enter. An apology required, me thinks.

Sweetner's are added. Found a label that was not on previous orders stating sweetners added.
When questioned.. silence. Will now go elsewhere.

Stowfords is a nice mid-range cider (for the price), but 4-tin-packs have very misleading 'big-splash' adverts all over packs STILL being sold in many stores (incl Co-op and Waitrose) that cynically entice punters in with the 'Haven Holidays competition' promo. Which apparently has already finished - but nowhere online does 'Westons' (or the retail press) actually say that! Talk about non-existent small-print, lol. Disappointed of Southampton.

A number of weeks ago I ordered 2 x cases of vintage cider. Had message off Parcelforce stating delivery for following day. Only 1 x case turned up. Contacted Weston’s who explained that one of the parcels was damaged so sent out replacement. Fair enough I thought and put down to bad luck.

Placed order eight days ago for same 2 x cases. Again text off Parcelforce stating delivery next day but this time no show. Contacted Weston’s again and they confirmed 1 x case damaged again so arranged replacement. So far nothing has turned up and I had voicemail off Parcelforce stating that the replacement case is also damaged and being returned to sender. Contacted Weston’s again this morning and they are replacing the damage replacement case. I am due 1 x case later today which remains to be seen and I am told the replacement of the replacement case will be with me Thursday or Friday. We shall see.

To summarise, be prepared for poor delivery if you choose to order from Weston’s. Twice I have ordered and twice they have damaged the items. The sales team are nice and polite however they will lose customers if they don’t sort Parcelforce out or improve their packaging to prevent damage. To put things in perspective, I have used Laithwaites wines for 25 years and not once have they damaged a case of wine so Weston’s could learn something from them. They use Yodel at the moment who have been excellent. Hope this review helps.

I think something in the henry westons cider is very bad for your nerves. I started to notice my legs getting really bad nerve pains not long after I started to drink this. Stopped for a few months and basically forgot all about the leg problem then tried a few the other night and back to the nerve pains. Nothing else I drink does this and I'm sure it's got to be the sulphites or something. I think this needs looked into.
