For the third year running we present our Cider Pub of the Year 2026 award to Mary Donaldson at the Little R’Ale (GBG), which now goes forward to the East Central Cider Pub of the Year 2026 competition which it won in 2025. Mary has been in charge since April 2022 and with a choice of around 40 ciders, it’s easy to see how she has won this award. There are also five changing beers for the non-apple crowd. A Saturday afternoon also offers an alternative to an evening to provide more time. Presentation at 14:00.
