..this year has taken me to Norfolk. The Norfolk Cider Company sounds rather grand... but isn't, and not worth seeking out - however, Uncle Stuarts (a brewery) nearby made up for the confusion. But the cider guy was a very opinionated kind of person and over-stepped the mark by producing a Camra guide to authenticate the awful muck he was dispensing...
A very different story at Whin Hill though. Here you can even sit out and sample the fare. Some very nice cider here, though I do think they need to invest in some stronger bottles for the slightly sparkling, as one of mine burst...
Otherwise I've been down the quiz night a few times at The Old Poet's Corner, Ashover. Hmm, well I've yet to sample something decent here, though Ben Crossman's wasn't too bad... all a bit too sweet aka 'medium' to be 'proper' though - maybe it's for the ladies there. There is a festival there in October so maybe some half-decent cider will turn up...
