National Cider & Perry Pub of the Year
National Cider Pub of the Year Champions
Ye Olde Cider Bar, Newton Abbot, Devon, TQ12 2LD
CAMRA has announced that Ye Olde Cider Bar, Newton Abbot, has been judged as its National Cider and Perry Pub of the Year 2011 after a year of local and regional judging rounds. The news comes at a time when CAMRA is due to kick off its National Cider and Perry Month celebrations during the month of October.
Sarah Newson, CAMRA Cider and Perry Committee Vice Chairman and one of the final judges said, "I felt that the bar showcased some of the best cider that Devon has to offer, which was served by friendly and knowledgeable staff who went out of their way to find a cider that the customer was happy with. All this, combined with the wonderful, very rare example of a traditional cider house setting which harks back to a bygone era, but which is welcoming to all ages and both locals and visitors alike, made this a truly deserving winner."
Richard Knibbs, Ye Olde Cider Bar licensee, said: "I'm absolutely blown away, and had no idea I'd won it. It came as a real shock, but I'm delighted, and it all comes down to the hard work, enthusiasm and knowledge of our pub staff."
