☀️ Looks like the weather is going to be good later!
I'm just getting started making the focaccia to go alongside our pork pie & cheese Ploughman’s 🧀🥧🍞

But this is the last week of our Ploughman’s platters!
As next week we’ll be getting stuck into the pressing 🍎🍏

We’ll still be open next Friday, though there might be a few apples about the place… 😉

🍎 GOT SURPLUS APPLES? 🍏

Our first pressing day of the season is coming up! 🎉

📅 Saturday 12th September
⏰ 9am – 3pm

If you’ve got apples going spare, bring them along to the cider house and we’ll put them to good use! 🍎➡️🍏

In return, you can choose from:
🍺 Credits to spend on drinks in the Cider House
🧃 Some fresh apple juice to take home

It’s a great way to make sure your apples don’t go to waste 😉

⚠️ PLEASE NOTE: We want good, sound apples. No rotten, mouldy or badly spoiled apples, please! If they are, we’ll have to ask you to take them home.

So get picking, bring your apples along, and let’s get the press working! 🍎🍏

🍎🍐 WE’RE NOW ON TRIPADVISOR! 🍐🍎

We’re officially on TripAdvisor — and we’re going to try and become the top attraction in Damery! 😂

Although, looking at the competition, we think the only other attraction is a hump of earth allegedly once used as an Iron Age fort! 😆

If you’ve visited our little cider house, we’d really appreciate it if you could take a moment to leave us a review. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

🍐 Who is Betty Prosser?

She's a rare Perry pear pouring this Friday at our cider house.

Once thought extinct, rediscovered in 1995 and still critically endangered - part of our living Perry heritage.

David from South Wales sources these old varieties along the Severn Vale to keep them alive in the glass.

🍐 Betty Prosser will be pouring this Friday!

What's the perfect accompaniment to a glass of cider or perry?

🍐 Perry lovers... this is something very special! 🍐

Friday 14th August. 3-8pm

You rarely see perry offered for sale these days... let alone 30 different perries on draught to taste side by side.

That's exactly what's on offer here at our little Cider House.

I'm fairly confident in saying this is the biggest selection of draught perry available anywhere in the UK!

I've been through my book of contacts and with help from Pat at Independent Republic of Jolter - Cider and Perry Bar and Albert Johnson of Ross-on-Wye Cider & Perry Co we have brought together an incredible line-up from some of the country's finest, multi-award-winning perry makers. But that's not all...

I'm especially proud to be pouring perry from two very local makers who, between them, have over 70 years of perry-making experience. Until now, their perry has never been available to the public.

That's a genuine world exclusive.

Whether you're already a devoted perry drinker or you've never tried a proper traditional perry before, this is a rare opportunity to discover just how diverse, complex and delicious this historic drink can be.

Come along, try a few, compare styles, chat all things perry, and help celebrate one of Britain's most overlooked traditional drinks.

🍐 30 draught perries. One Cider House. An experience you simply won't find anywhere else.
