A warm welcome always awaits you at our Tavern cellar-door.

We also host live music, private parties, foodie events, weddings and our popular ‘Cider Makers Tour’ which can be organised in advance.

Some background about our business…

The orchards were grafted in 2003, and have taken some years to establish, in which the cellar-door, courtyard & landscaped gardens were formed. The orchards are certified organic and boast 17 varieties of English heritage-listed apple trees, chosen for their fantastic cider making qualities. As well as the English-style Tavern cellar-door, a cidery with all equipment is on site to allow the full cycle of cider-making to happen right here! Tours can be arranged with prior notice.
