Chef/Owner Tony and his wife Julia have taken a cow shed on a farm and created a charming, sophisticated restaurant. The Cider House accommodates both intimate dinners indoors as well as providing al fresco dining during summer. Tony, who hosted his own television show entitled "Dish'in it out" in New Zealand, is passionate about food, and Julia makes sure the guests are comfortable and the service is top quality.

The understated menu changes a little bit all the time making the most of fresh seasonal produce and the fare is served in a style that is stunning, yet simple and uncomplicated.

Honey and lime cured Scottish salmons for starters followed by roasted rump of Southdowns lamb and a sweet ending in nutmeg baked rice pudding is one route to a satisfying meal there. Try Appledram Cider, produced on the farm by Julian and Kathy Moores, or any of the wines that have been carefully selected.
