    Cider for Your Soul...

    Is the slogan used by The Tucker's Grave Inn in Somerset, a pub in CAMRA's Good Beer & Cider Guide and also the directory of Heritage Pub Interiors. It does sell beer (locally brewed Butcombe Bitter) but the main wet sale is cider.

    This is a fine pub that I first visited last year and have already posted images of < here > but here's a few new ones.

    Even the sun sets the colour of cider:

    It doesn't have a bar counter top nor even a hatch but beer and cider kept in a bay window and served right among the customers:

    It's the kind of, sadly now rare, pub where conversation among strangers is the norm. We sat at this table on Sunday and had a wonderful evening with the locals:

                  Great shots again John, you will have to venture up into North Somerset & get John Liddle to take you to The Blue Flame ( if it is still going) another true cider house.
