Dunkerton's, Hereford
by Willard Clarke, 07/04
One delightful way to sample the products of Dunkerton's Cider Mill is to have a meal in their Cider House restaurant, opened in 1994 in one of the cruck-framed barns. You can have
sandwiches, a platter of local cheeses or full meals - prepared by Susie - as leek, nettle and almond tart, home-reared Hereford beef, organic breast of chicken
marinated in perry, and Welsh-border venison, accompanied by the likes of Extra Dry Organic Cider (7%: a blend of Brown Snout, Foxwhelp, Sheeps Nose and
Yarlington Mill), a Still Perry (8%: Red Horse, Merrylegs, Moorcroft, Painted Lady and Thorn), Organic Perry (7%: same varieties) or the single varietal Black Fox (7%).
The perries, in particular, are sensational, light and fragrant.
