✨ Exciting News! ✨

Some big news to share with our wonderful community! After 13 fantastic years, the time has come for us to hand over The Cider Pantry. We're thrilled to introduce the new owners, Shaun & Vikki!

Shaun and Vikki have purchased both the tearooms and the B&B and will soon become familiar faces as they move to the village with their young family later in May.

They have exciting plans to reopen the cafe later this summer, complete with a new name and a refreshed look after some updates.

Keep an eye out, as we'll share their new business social media links as soon as they're available.

Please join us in extending the warmest of welcomes to Shaun, Vikki, and their family as they join our village community. We wish them all the very best!

A firm favourite, our open toasties have made it back on the lunch menu. Ham, home cooked in our cider, alongside mature cheddar is a force to be reckoned with. Served on doorstop toast with a helping of our homemade chutney. We've a few toasties to choose from, plus a great choice of vegan options too.

As many of you will be aware we decided to put The Cider Pantry on the market earlier this year.
We’re not going to lie, after ten years happy years of The Cider Pantry, it’s been a difficult and a reluctant decision for our family to make but for a number of reasons it feels the right one at this time.
With ongoing staff shortages within the hospitality sector, we have also taken the decision to adjust our business hours accordingly.
As of Monday 20th March The Cider Pantry will be opening for breakfast only, serving our breakfasts everyday from 8am until 12pm.
Lovely Lorraine will still be baking all of our cakes and sweet treats in house too and these will be available to purchase in the farm shop.
When the weather brightens up, we’ll have takeaway tea/coffee available for purchase too in the barn, which of course you’ll be able to enjoy as normal in our wonderful tea garden.

Our heartfelt thanks to everybody who has and continues to support The Cider Pantry, we’ve had an incredible journey, met some wonderful people who we can honestly call friends forever.
We’ve had the best teams along the way too, who have certainly played a big part in making The Cider Pantry a lovely place to work and enjoy.

We’re excited for the next chapter, as we start to make new plans for our farm and sister business, New Forest Cider, so be sure to stay tuned for all our news.
