The Cider Press is a friendly one-bar pub in the heart of Torquay, and a real cider stronghold flagged by CAMRA as one of the few outlets in town serving real cider. It keeps live music going through the week, with an open mic every Tuesday and live bands and acts every Sunday. It's a relaxed, welcoming spot that's happy to give local performers a stage.
