Among those on offer are Marmalade Cider (Orchard Pig), Painted Lady (Barbourne Perry Co), Doctor’s Orders (Green Valley Cyder), Black Rat (Moles Brewery), Legbender Cider (Rich’s Cider), Somerset Fruit Forager (The Shepton Mallet Cider Mill) and The Collaborators (Sandford Orchards and La Ferme de Billy). One of the ciders, The Collaborators, has been made by a French cider maker in collaboration with an English cider maker.

Each of the ciders will be available at £1.99 a pint.

The Boot Inn manager, Robert Burgess, said: “The pub will be offering a superb selection of ciders, which I am confident will appeal to cider lovers and those enjoying cider for the first time.”

Customers can enjoy three one-third pint of ciders for the price of a pint.

Tasting notes on all the ciders will be available in the pubs.
