Clives Fruit Farm in Upton makes the best apple juice in the West Midlands . . . and that's official.

Jane Clive was presented with the West Midlands Tastiest Apple Juice Award, Cox Variety, at a ceremony in Birmingham on Thursday (January 27).

Mrs Clive said: "It was a lovely surprise."

She said the secret of her success was pressing the apples as soon as they were picked, using traditional methods.

The competition was organised by Heart of England Fine Foods as part of national Farmhouse Breakfast Week.
