Shepton Mallet

Shepton Mallet is a small, historic market town in Somerset. It is located 5 miles east of Wells, just south of the Mendip Hills

Shepton Mallet was listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Sepeton, meaning “The sheep enclosure”. It was part of lands given to the Malet family by Henry I in 1100, making it one of the first double place names in the country.

Shepton Mallet has become a centre for cider making and is home to two international drinks producers. One is owned by Constellation Brands and is Europe’s largest cider plant, which produces Blackthorn Cider and Gaymer’s Olde English cider, and Babycham. The other is family run Brothers Drinks, producers of Brothers Cider, who are situated in the Anglo-Bavarian Brewery, originally home to the first lager brewery in England.

Shepton Mallet contains the administrative headquarters of Mendip District Council, and of course Red Berry Recruitment!
