We are the local Thatchers Cider agent for Plymouth and are proud to link the traditional craftsmanship of Thatchers to the ethos of Craft Brewing, good wholesome raw materials, no adjuncts, care in production and our products run side by side. Thatchers pioneered the single variatel bottled cider and the newest one to the range in called Kaaty Rose in 75 Ml bottles, it is produced for the first pressing of the Katy apple and consequently has a lovely red blush. Trust me I drink cider as well as beer.
Thatchers have now launched Pear Cider, it is lovely!!!!!

Sadly we are no longer in THE PROVIDENCE INN, having supplied the pub for over 15 years the present owner Mr Quintin Style of the Thistle Park Tavern and South Hams brewery has decided that because our Best Bitter was the most popular beer in his pub we would be banned, so that the sales of his own beers and Courage Best would improve.

NEW BEER FOR THE SUMMER. Due to pressure from our customers we have decided to introduce a higher gravity beer for the summer months, i.e. April to October, it will be called SUMMERSKILLS FESTIVAL ALE (S.F.A.) at 5.5%. It was brewed as a one off for last years Plymouth CAMRA Beerfest but proved so popular that there was an uproar when stocks were exhausted so from now on it will reappear every summer.

HELP FOR HEROES. As a former serviceman, I cannot do enough to raise awareness and raise money for this charity. The money required isn\\\'t just for now but also for the foreseeable future, to help the injured Service personnel for the rest of their lives.
By visiting the H4H website and downloading \\\"Love Farewell\\\" you can donate a pound, not a lot but if we all did it we could make the song \\\"Top of the Pops\\\" and also raise a vast amount of money for this charity. So go on folks, his the keyboard, listen to the song and whether you like it or not, donate a quid!
