Determined Cider Maker

Delighted to hear of Robin Barton who is working hard at building up a cider business in Cumberland.

"AN ABBEYTOWN engineer who turned his dad’s garage into a cider-making factory can continue his business venture, despite complaints of noise.

Robin Barton, 27, said it was a huge relief to be given planning permission, six months after he started brewing and selling his Happy Apple tipple at his Kingside Hill home.

He must now adhere to strict conditions relating to noise and working hours, including moving a generator away from his neighbour’s house and fitting silencers on some pieces of machinery.

Best of luck Robin hope your cider is going to be good, anybody know what it tastes like?

Cheers Paul
