Rich's Farmhouse Cider

When in the West Country, it essential to try the local produce. With cider high up on our list of things we do well, Myrtle Farm is not to be missed. If you want a pint and a meal whilst learning about the history and age long traditions used to create the magical stuff then there is no better place to go.
