Cider is much in vogue at the moment so maybe a visit to Thatcher's site to see how it is made will be something that might interest you, gentle reader. Scrumpy is a farmhouse cider that used to be made to pay farm workers as a supplement to their wages - nowadays you can buy it almost anywhere in the southwest but maybe further afield you might have to get stuff online if you want the good stuff. Looking on Thatcher's site it looks like they do free UK delivery so there's really no excuse is there? I recommend the 'Scrumpy' pictured - ideal for a first timer or innocent abroad in the world of apple based insanity. They also do a Wurzels themed cider.Another great maker of cider in the region is Rich's cider. It has magical qualities that almost straight away make you behave like a sixth generation dribbling village idiot. Recommended.
