We booked and went to the Cider Works for a quiet family lunch and came away extremely satisfied. Much of the footprint and character of the original pub has been retained yet there is a clean, quiet ambience to the place, inside and out, which is both pleasant and relaxing. The staff are very polite and extremely helpful and there is a well-stocked bar serving drinks at very reasonable prices. For Covid reasons we chose to sit and eat outside on the veranda although there is plenty of spacious table space inside if the weather is unpleasant. The menu is not vast but everything we had was fresh and tasty and plenty of it, again at very reasonable prices. The prawn and avocado salad was particularly delightful, but all our meals were very good. The chips are different and very tasty too! This is early days for the Cider Works, but all was great for us. This is a fine place for weddings and functions or to stay in one of their shepherd’s huts for hire in their large garden area. Good value in nice surroundings...would highly recommend.

8 of us had an amazing Sunday lunch here on Sunday. They even accommodated my extremely fussy daughter with no hesitation, and she absolutely loved what she had. We can't wait to go back. In Eliza’s words "best cooks ever". Can't recommend the Cider Works enough.
