The Hoptician, Dursley, has been crowned CAMRA’s overall Cider and Perry Pub of the Year 2026, after fighting off fierce competition from a previous winner and the best cider pubs in the UK.

This impressive achievement is even more remarkable as the pub has only been open for two and a half years. In that time, licensees Kerry and Kevin Farmer have carved out a space for cider-lovers with their extensive range reaching up to 20 different options at times.
