If you're a cider fan, Hucknall is the place to drink. The town swept the board with pubs taking top spot and runner-up in CAMRA's annual Cider Pub of the Year competition.
Byron's Rest, a micro pub set in a former sewing shop in Baker Street, took the crown, closely followed by Beer Shack, in Derbyshire Lane, in second place. Byron's Rest sells nearly 20 different traditional ciders from cideries including Two Shires at Langley Mill, Blue Barrel, which started in Nottingham, and Somerset-based Rich's Cider.
It's the second award in six months for the Byron's Rest, which last year was named champion of Nottingham CAMRA's LocAle competition celebrating locally brewed beers and ciders.
