Testimonials: "They must have 100+ polycasks available, all of which can be tasted, plus many, many bottled ciders as well. The "national cider and perry collection" is a self styled title but warranted. I've always enjoyed their Red Rooster "pider" which is locally sourced." JC
"well worth a visit, it does live up to its claims" JP
