Apples considered "too ugly" to sell commercially are being given a new lease of life by being turned into alcohol. Hawkes Cider takes in around 40,000 apples each day and makes 9,000 pints of cider.

Apples including Royal Gala, Braeburn and Bramley go into every bottle and are washed and squashed in Bermondsey to produce the juice.
