The Bimble wasn't even selling Burrow Hill, it was some kind of Thatchers IIRC.

The Bimble Inn definitely had Burrow Hill on Friday when we played there and again on Sunday when I walked up there to claim my 2nd free pint that I earned from having played there on the Friday.

I know this isnt much help, but the Tow & Hitch staff bar up by Arcadia had Heck ciders, one with elderflower and one with rhubarb, and a farmhouse one at about 7%. All three were bloody lovely (and £4 a pint) 

Maceo's had Heck on tap too.

This man is a legend http://wilkinscider.com/

visited his farm a couple of years ago, he just gives you a half pint glass and it’s help yourself. Dry, sweet or a mix of the two. We were such a fan we ordered 20l for our wedding you just call him up and he arranged to post it to London using Royal Mail. He didn’t even want advance payment just said to send him a cheque once it arrived.

A mate of mine lives in Cheddar, I asked him to pick some of this stuff up for me, which he did and delivered it to Glasto for me. It's very nice but I don't think 5 days in my warm tent did it any favours, it seemed to turn rather quickly when I got it home.

Hmm, interesting.  I saw they had "still cider" on the menu, so I asked for "Burrow Hill" and they told me they didn't have any.  I have no idea which day though!

Thanks, that’s me back in therapy tomorrow 🙄

I'm in bits here 

Glad to see this thread bumped.

Will that Morrison's stuff keep? Or will they still be selling it come June? Despite living in Kent it's really hard to find decent cider that isn't in tins or bottles on general sale 'round here. Sod crates. Give me a box or an engine oil bottle any day.

Edit: I'm just about to head down to my local 'spoons for some chicken wings and chips and as always a good ole dependable Thatchers. They've got a cheek calling them "wings" though. Half of what you get are clearly thighs.

What is this absolute abomination??? I expected better of you, Mr. Weston.

I recently bought 20l of this stuff because it was cheaper than most other big boxes. You get what you pay for - avoid. I now have to drink 35 pints of something that's pretty tasteless.

Stu, you know the answer to any cider question is Hecks.

I got 4 x 3 litre pouches from them just before Easter. Medium selection - 1x Vintage, 1x Kingston Black, 1 x Glastonbury Gold and 1 x Perry. The Kingston, Gold and Perry were excellent but I wasn't as keen on the Vintage but it was perfectly drinkable. Recommended.

Had 6 bottles of this arrive in the post today.

Oooh that looks niiiice! Is it good?

@stuartbert two hats - on pay day (Thursday) I'm considering treating myself to a 20L box of Old Rosie. Probably should have done it weeks ago!

You can do better than something you can get in the shops if you're going to splash out on 20l.

You can get 20 litres of cider bus cider delivered to your door if you go to the Burrow Hill website.

Old Rosie...Christ.  The fuel to far too many nights I don't remember.

I'm tempted by the Burrow Hill cider but I've just ordered some lagers from the Brewdog site and thought I'd give some of their cider a go.

Also the current wet stuff outside is making it feel less like cider weather for me.

Anyone who has ordered from Burrow Hill - how long does delivery take?

Hoping to make a few mates very jealous on our Zoom catch up this weekend.

You'll have it by next weekend, somewhat unlikely for this one.

I mean, it's possible, but unlikely I'd say.  Everything is taking longer at the moment.

I'm sure this stuff is good but the Burrow Hill and Hecks cider is fair bit cheaper for 20 litres.

I don't remember it taking long, but maybe give them a call and ask?

When I ordered form Hecks they sent the same day and I received the day after, but they only post on monday, tuesday and wednesday. Again if you want quickly, give them a call and they may be able to send today.
