World Nettle Eating Competition revived by family-run cider farm

Steve Harris

Available for over a year

Have you ever tried eating nettles? The annual World Nettle Eating Competition was held every summer at The Bottle Inn until 2019. Since the pub closed the following year, the world-famous contest has not taken place. The Dorset Nectar Cider Farm in Waytown have announced that this summer, they will be reviving the popular competition as a charity fundraiser. Ryan Strong from the Dorset Nectar Cider Farm told BBC Radio Solent's Steve Harris all about the contest's return.
