It was a double award to the Rat & Ratchet this year, winning both the Pub of the Year & Cider Pub of the Year. The presentation took place in a packed pub, full of drinkers sampling the wares at the Rat’s annual Mild & Cider Festival. The Rat & Ratchet serves a wide range of beers kept in excellent form, and the best range of real cider in the area.
