Bar update.
Added to the bar list for the FAB festival this weekend
 
Nook's Yard Cider & Perry

Cheshire Cider & Perry Made The Traditional Way

 
 
 
along with 4 more real ales from Lymestone Brewery and the Liverpool craft beer company!
Home page imageThis is a new range of preserves in store from this weekend.  Orchard preserves are truly home made by hand in small batches seasonally.
They feature all you'd expect and a few really special treats like Rhubarb and Date Chutney, Spicy Tomato Chutney or Rhubarb and Strawberry Jam!
From garden to pot in the same day, they have all of the goodness and flavour you can only get from homemade cooking. You'll love them, so drop by for yours, but remember small batches only, so when they're gone they're gone!
