Since 2012, Jason Law has operated the Cider Barn just off the A371 in Draycott, near Cheddar, serving visitors a selection of Somerset ciders, local beers, sourdough pizzas, and classic pub fare. Located on the edge of the Mendip Hills, it has become a cherished spot for locals and tourists alike.
