In search of cider

Oxford Vulcan · 05-02-2012, 09:15

Hi All,
I'm preparing for our annual trip to Accrington again & I'm looking for a pub with decent cider.
The Crown was most obliging last year & it was much appreciated.
However, last year we stayed in Burnley (we all make mistakes) & although we found a pub with a good stock of Thatchers cider, 5 minutes in the kebab shop made the Jeremy Kyle show look like University Challenge.
Please folks, we are looking for somewhere decent to stay on Saturday night & somewhere to drink decent cider. I will happily bring 10 or 20 litre boxes with me, at cost price.

Not sure about the cider mate.......... but check this thread for accommodation.

Thank you Smudgie.
The Crown is looking promising before the game, but good cider & food for Saturday evening would help.

Justin cider? thanks for the tip (as your missus would say)

I prefer Deepins cider, much more satisfying.

jusst be aware that if you do stop at Mitton you'll need about £25 each way for taxi's or its about a four hour walk!

If they think the kebabs shops in Burnley are rough I would have recommended they stay in Accrington. Would be an eye opener ( or more likely an eye closer from the chav that punches it )

i once threatened a chav and he asked if I knew who his dad was, I said "no, do you?"

Not the cleanest Kebab shop I'd ever been in, when one of us asked for a fork, two local slappers thought it was their lucky day.
Three times he had to spell F.O.R.K.
Is it really that difficult to understand a southern accent?
Wouldn't have been such a problem if they hadn't both been vastly overweight, covered in tatoos & butt ugly.
What a welcome to Burnley.

Sounds like Miss Burnley and the runner-up were out celebrating
