Frobishers

Back in 1969, Mike Dowdeswell swapped pouring pints for pressing apples. After years at sea with the Merchant Navy and running other people’s pubs, he dropped anchor and bought The Anchor Inn. One day, a local cider maker showed up with a fresh offer: apple juice, straight from the press.

Now, Mike wasn’t one to sip quietly on an idea. He spotted a juicy gap in the market for quality juice. He found a bottler, handed out cases to nearby pubs, and boom: the fruit juice buzz began. The people wanted more. So, Mike gave them orange. Then pear. Then pineapple. Juice by juice, a range was born.
