Business Profile
Tricky Cider is run by Matt Gillett, a life long lover of cider and Somerset. Matt grew up in nearby Taunton and after 10 years working as an automotive engineer in Essex, he decided to change direction and move back to his home county.
His passion for fermenting started in the mid 2000's with 'Genghis Ales' his home brew label, and small batch cider making using fruit from neighbours' trees. This background led to a micro-brewery installation project with friend Freddie Farnworth in the back garden of the Holman Clavel pub on the Blackdown hills, at that time owned by Tricky founder Steve Watkins. The pair purchased Tricky from Steve in 2018 and Matt is now the sole owner of the business.
Operating out of Higher Willand Farm on the Blackdowns, his aim is to produce and promote high quality traditional farmhouse cider and work to regenerate forgotten orchards. Matt is proud to be part of the tradition of Somerset cider making and the exciting revival of this fabulous natural drink.

"Good Quality Cider"
"Had a great in-depth, enthusiastic chat about making cider followed by tasting of some amazing ciders. It's made me appreciate the hard work that goes into a good quality cider. All in all, a great experience with Matt who's genuine passion for it comes across and no question was too stupid. Came away with some bottles and will definitely be buying some more when I run out :)"

"So Passionate"
"What an amazing cider tasting experience! Matt is so passionate about what he does and it shows in the taste. Came away with a few bottles and I think we will be ordering online when we go back home."
