The most amazing place! Starting with a car park that is furnished with netting like an orchard, skip under the welcome sign then traipse between a row of apple trees to the front door. The staff were so welcoming (especially the lady in the green jacket) who invited us in even though it was closing time and we were treated to a paddle of various ciders and a lot of laughs. We left with a stash of takeaways to enjoy when we get home. The ciders are unique and completely natural so whilst flavoursome, they do not burn the palette as ciders with additives. Well done guys, it’s going to be brilliant , especially once the landscaping is finished!

Stopped in at The Apple Thief Cider House in Batlow recently and had an absolutely brilliant experience. We enjoyed a delicious pizza and fresh salad in the new section of the venue — it’s stunning. Clean, modern, artistic in design, and it opens right out into the orchard, which is just beautiful to see. The whole setting is peaceful and really well thought-out. The staff were warm, welcoming and genuinely lovely. A fantastic spot in the heart of Batlow, New South Wales — well worth the visit!
