Refreshments

Have we mentioned the beer? There will be about 85 cask-conditioned ales, all from small independent breweries - mostly unusual but with a few 'old favourites'. About 10 farmhouse ciders and perries, and plenty of food including vegetarian options.

There will be more information here when available.
