has anyone heard of a brewery called magic bus in Woolwich, went to a fete in Otford yesterday and they were selling a cider there. When I asked where it came from they said the magic bus brewery in Woolwich. I can't find anything on the net though .

    Steve....Magic Bus are in fact from the Dartford area.....Darenth Valley, to be more precise around the Horton Kirby area I believe. Though maybe they have someone distributing for them in the Wololwich area.
    They have been around for a few years now and make some wicked ciders. I first came across them in The Bull in Horton Kirby and in the summer they nearly always have a barrell or two on the counter. The guy who owns Magic Bus lives nearby....though whether he actually brews at his home I don't know. Hadn't heard that he/they brew beer by the way.
    This weekend The George in Shoreham had a cider festival tent (sales sadly badly hit by the weather sad to say). They have 5 or 6 different Magic Bus ciders on offer....some of them 7%!
    Be careful....I'd suggest two pints initialy and see how you get on....oh and by the way, can I recommend putting a slice of orange in your glass.....sets it off just nicely.

    I'd love for the Valley to sell local beer/cider.
    I'm sure their are many reasons we couldn't do this, but imagine Meantime Pale Ale on tap at half time!

    Often thought that Eaststand....there are some fabulous caterers in the Greenwich area too....if only we could sell some of their pies, sandwiches, pasties, cakes etc instead of (for the most part) the utter mass produced junk that we have on offer.
    My friend Czarina has her own catering company near Greenwich Station (used to be called Googies). Now for example, she would be the perfect choice....fabulous home-made fare.
    Seem to remember that Meantime Brewery did in fact approach us a few years back....but got nowhere.

    You're quite right SoundAs,Meantime did approach Charlton but got knocked back which is a shame as Ali,the owner,and several members of the company are lifelong fans & would love to have their beer at the Valley.
    Sadly,the powers that be decree we should quaff swill on match days.
    Not for me ta.

    I guess it's not possible because the club are contracted to a major brewery.

    I was at the emirates last night and they had San Miguel at £4.80 a bottle as well as burgers for £12.90 with bacon.

    Maybe, but you'd think they might be able to agree that a couple of local beers are sold in Bartrams up until 2.30 and then post match. Would help the club to do some more with the local community, which we are famed for, would make the brewery our main deal is with look like a "good guy" whilst costing them very little and would drive traffic to the Valley (putting more money in Chrissy's transfer kitty)

    Wurzels are Somerset, Mike. Long way from Cornwall.

    Didn't you do Geography at school?

    Padstow's nice enough though, Mike. Good walks around the Camel Estuary and north coast, and fish supper at Rick Stein's.

    I'm on the south coast. Hope the weather's good for you.
