We visited here Wednesday 4th March 2026, the we being, me, Loz and Isobel. The Museum is located very close to the large Sainsbury’s, so it’s about 8-10 mins walk out of town on the Whitecross Rd, it’s a short walk from the Beer in Hand. There is parking right outside, if this is full then Sainsbury’s car park is adjacent. I believe that there is level access to the building.

Whilst this is clearly a museum you can access the tearoom and shop without the need to purchase a museum ticket. In the shop I was very impressed with the excellent selection of top notch ciders from Oliver’s, Pipps, Newton Court, Gwatkins, Little Pomona etc, there were also some ciders from outside of Herefordshire including an Ice Cider from Somerset. Furthermore there was a selection of apple spirits such as brandy but others also. The prices also looked very reasonable. I think that if you had a car you could stock up on a lot of great ciders and perrys here, including some of the large rarer bottles that some producers sell.

The tea shop itself is a bit limited on food and drink, in fact it’s basically tea, coffee and only one choice of each, and one or two cakes to choose, sadly no decent ciders in there, however they were really friendly so maybe if you purchased a cider or perry from the shop they ‘might’ let you drink it inside, but I am not sure, but perhaps worth asking.

*Please note there is another rack of cider in addition to the one in the photo that I added to the venue. So guessing 100 or more ciders and perrys in total.

We visited here on the evening of Thursday 5th June 2026, we booked a table earlier in the day and as the weather was lovely and warm we had arranged to sit outside on one of the many tables outside. In´t Spinnekopke is reasonably central with plenty of other options in the area that could be combined.

Other than to book a reservation earlier in the day and to pay this evening we didn't really venture inside but it looked really quaint with a cosiness, it looked multi roomed, olde worlde layout.

Service was good, beer choice small but v.decent. Food was very nice I think we both had Ox Cheeks in a rich beer sauce, it was great food..

We liked this place but certainly something that I would probably consider more as a food/beer stop than just beer. Score 7.6
