Three businesses in Much Marcle were celebrating at the weekend after winning three of the categories at this year’s Flavours of Herefordshire Awards.

The Awards were presented by Sophie Grigson, celebrity chef, at a gala presentation evening held at Hereford Racecourse on the eve of the Food Festival.

Westons Cider won Large Producer of the Year, and Lyne Down Cider and Perry won Best Newcomer of the Year.

Helen Thomas, Managing Director of Westons said: “We are extremely proud to have won such an accolade, particularly as this is the first year we have entered the Large Producer of The Year category. It was also a wonderful night for the village – three firsts is a great result!”

Mark Catlin of Lyne Down added: “I am so pleased that all our hard work has been recognised in these prestigious awards. I only joined Steve and Carol Westlake in May 2006 and it has been non-stop ever since. Last year we entered and won the Three Counties Cider Competition for our Roaring Meg Cider and now this – I am absolutely delighted!”

Welcome to Lyne Down Farm cider & perry

Lyne Down Farm sits on the edge of the Marcle Ridge in south Herefordshire an area famous for Cider and Perry making over the centuries. Fruit is used mainly from our own orchards comprising of some thirty different varieties of cider apples and perry pears. Still made the traditional way by using an ancient wooden scratter mill and 120 year old antique stone twinscrew presses the extracted juice is then fermented in oak barrels until such time is ready for sale as draft or bottled farmhouse cider and perry.

Our cider and perry is made from pure fruit with nothing added. We blend different varieties creating specific recipes producing a clear and well balanced drink varying from medium sweet through to medium dry with alcohol contents from 5% to 7.8%.
