As you probably know, Blackfriars Tavern in Great Yarmouth has one of the largest selections of Real Cider available in the whole country with at least 40 ciders available everyday; we are especially pleased to be able to offer you a local real cider out of the keg. Village Green Cider from South Norfolk have let us have a keg version of their excellent Medium Soul Cider, so you can now have a cold lightly sparkling real cider on draught. It’s available now, see you soon!
