Pete Yarlett reports that Salisbury Food Festival was held on Sunday 23rd September in the market square.
Charles May of Abbey Stores organised a beer and cider bar with seven ciders and perries on offer. This proved very popular, especially after the beer ran out!
- Cider by Rosie
- Bridles Cider
- Lambourn Valley Royal County
- Cidernicks Yarlington
- Cidernicks Yellowleg
- Weston Country Perry
- Lambourn Valley Old Berkshire Perry
Mr Whitehead’s also had a stand outside selling their complete range
of Hampshire ciders, bottled and draught.
Bridles gave demonstration pressings with two cider presses in action alongside the bar marquee. Spotted in the marquee was ex Good Cider Guide editor David Kitton in deep conversation with Roy Bailey.
Rose Grant’s cider proved extremely popular with at least four 20ltr boxes opened and Roy Bailey’s perry was also selling well with the box tipped well forward. All in all a most enjoyable afternoon and thanks go to Charles May for organising a cider bar at the Salisbury food festival, supported by his family and Salisbury CAMRA.
