Cider Saunter

Thank you to all participants.

The 2022 Cider Saunter concluded at the end of July and was well supported with nearly half of all participants visiting 16 or more pubs.

Only one person managed to visit all 26 pubs on the list and thereby gain a gold certificate and that was Amy Chandler, who is the Cider Bar Manager at the Robin Hood Beer & Cider Festival.

Amy also qualifies for the prize of a pleasure flight and we hope to include a report on her experience soon.

The Cider Saunter runs from Friday 1st July – Sunday 31st July 2022 and there are 26 pubs taking part across the whole of the branch area. All of the pubs will be stocking a range of draught real cider and perry which will include at least one offering from our local East Midlands producers.

To enter the Cider Saunter, visit one of the pubs on the list and order a half pint (or more!) of draught real cider or perry. Tell the staff you’re on the Cider Saunter and ask for the Unique Code Number for that pub. Enter all the details on the entry form. Visit at least 8 pubs to qualify for a free pint of cider or perry (or even beer) at The 2022 Robin Hood Beer & Cider Festival in October and a bronze certificate. Visiting 16 pubs will get you a silver certificate and all 26 pubs will allow you to join the elite with a gold certificate and the chance to win a very special prize (see below).

Look out for various pubs which may not be included on the Saunter but still have boxes of East Midlands cider on sale. These can be recorded on your entry leaflet as lucky dip entries.
