The pub, which is run by Andrew Quick and his family, features both a cider and a perry served from a hand pump at the bar. Situated just outside Cardiff, the pub seems a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

“It’s fantastic that we’ve won,” said Andrew, who has had the pub for 15 years.

“I knew we were shortlisted but I didn’t know we had won. We were in Camra’s guide for the first time last year so to win is great.

“We started serving a Welsh cider and then we switched to a nice cider maker based in north Somerset which goes down very well with our customers, particularly the pear cider.

“We always try and have two ciders on as well as the pear perry.”

Somerset’s Brothers Cider has teamed up with Morrisons to launch stubby packs of its Pear Cider and Strawberry Mixed Pear Cider.

The new 10x25cl multipacks are in a “fridge-ready, rip open case – perfect for the summer party season”, according to a spokesman.

Managing director Matthew Showering said:

After being the first commercially available pear cider, we felt it was time to move the cider category on with a new pack format. These new stubby packs are perfect for barbecues and picnics. After listening to feedback from our consumers, we are certain that they will embrace this new pack format.

Brothers worked closely with Morrisons on the development of the product and it will be available exclusively at the supermarket. Cider buyer Fraser Lovatt said early sales were “encouraging”.

The brands debut is being supported by a £2 million TV advertising campaign.
