One of our newest pubs, the Waterworks, the first micropub to open in the Rye area, did not take long to gain its first CAMRA award. Up against strong competition, four pubs with exciting ranges of ciders and perries were on the shortlist for Cider & Perry Branch Pub of the Year, the Waterworks ran out runner up. Praising the relative newcomer for making an immediate impact on the local cider (and beer) scene, sourcing all of the ciders (and beers) locally, Phil Packham, Branch Cider Co-ordinator joined Branch Chair, Peter Adams, in making the presentation, with some of the pub’s enthusiastic locals lending their support, to the obvious delight of landlord David Roder.
