A hamper for anyone who would rather taste Sussex than read about it. Big Nose and Beardy have built it around their own cider, vinegar and brandy, then scoured the county for small-scale specialist producers whose food they really rate. It suits a special occasion, or a treat for yourself.
The pairing logic is simple: cider, cheese, chutney and biscuits belong together, and the chocolate and apple juice round things off.
What is in the 2026 Sussex Hamper:
- 6 different batches from the real vintage cider range (330ml each)
- 4 Sussex cheeses
- 1 box of luxury sweet biscuits
- 1 box of Sussex cheese biscuits
- 1 jar of handmade chutney from Framfield Foods
- 1 x 50ml bottle of Spirit of Cider
- 1 bottle of slow matured Apple Cider Vinegar (500ml)
- 1 bottle of pasteurised Apple Juice (1 litre)
- 4 x 48g handmade chocolate bars from Rowdy and Fancies
- 1 Bignose & Beardy cider glass
Good to know:
- The cheese should be refrigerated on receipt.
- Not all items in the photograph are included in the 2026 hamper.
- The cheese is organised once your order is received, so it can take 7-10 days to ship.
The seller behind it: Big Nose and Beardy make Sussex cider using traditional methods and natural fermentation. Most of their apples come from local private gardens and orchards, hand-picked with volunteers. Their pressing is powered by a combination of solar, water and human energy, and the leftover apple pomace is fed to local pigs and cows. Their packaging (metal bottle caps, lightweight glass bottles and cardboard cases) is described by the seller as fully recyclable.
Note: the variant is listed as the 2024 Sussex Foodie Hamper, while the description details the 2026 contents. Check the contents list above when gifting.
