Also worth visiting Hunts cider in Stoke Gabriel as well. https://huntscider.co.uk/ I picked up 3l of their Bull Walloper at the Mid Devon County show on Saturday. Had a taster beforehand, obvs, very nice! Now I have to avoid temptation and keep it out of sight for Beautiful Days! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartbert two hats Posted August 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 My haul from Gloucester services on the way back from Worthy Pastures. Any recommendations? I'm particularly keen on trying the famous "Pilton", but don't know much about the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You bought them from a service station? Is that the farm shop looking type service station? Whatever the case, they must have cost a few quid in a service station - surely?

They certainly did, but I don't think much more than that kind of cider costs anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started in 1972 after the M6 was built across their farm. They saw an opportunity to cater for travellers, went for it, and then it mushroomed.

So everything they sell is their own product - Basically Cider, Mulled Cider, Cider Brandy, and Apple Juice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity I can't go near it as it interferes with the statins. Does anyone know if this stuff has actually seen any grapefruit? It's probably your normal Brothers perry with a dash of flavoured syrup. Is said syrup from grapefruit or is it an artificial flavouring thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
