Yes, but not me.

I can see I have an answer, but I can't see it, this 1 is blocked. Anyone else? Or should I just go Sainsburys and buy my cider there?

Glam,
Anyway, it's probably no better than many other ciders and only sells well with being linked to "a celebrity".
If I was buying cider I'd go for Hurst View from Wheaton Aston.
Small producers such as Hurst View will remain small producers simply because they can't afford the marketing needed to compete with the big national brands owned by multinational companies. Clarkson though only has to occasionally put out a bit of "news" about his cider as a "press release" and millions of people will hear about it. I wouldn't buy a product associated with one so disrespectful of the environment and other people.

It pops up pretty often but it's the first time I've managed to order before it runs out again. No idea why it keeps going to this price, assume it's matching someone else but badly.

Trying a new pub with a Herefordshire Craft Cider that tastes like slightly fizzed up scrumpy.
Only had a pint of Celtic Marches and feels like I've had 6 or more
On my 2nd pint......
Nowhere near as rough as the Nags Head in Mill streets scrumpy years ago , which was like sludge ( but got us p1ssed quicker for the grot.)

Yes , can't believe used to neck that , after a pub crawl from The Gate, Prince of Wales , Hop pole & four crosses, Sheridan , The vine, Coach & horses plus others, before moving on to The Grapes for leg overs ( cider & cherry B) and Pernod . Then dance it off in The Grot ( Top of the World).
No wonder I was ill next day!
Only lasted for the 2 pints in new cider pub earlier. Had a band setting up who wanted the entire inside ground floor of the pub, so asked everyone to move outside. Drank up & left !

That's a good price. Currently £3.50 in The Cock between 4 & 7 on Fridays.
