Bath Rugby is looking to pay someone to taste Thatchers Cider at their game with Bristol Bears at Twickenham this year.

They’re going to pay someone £200 for someone to sample the cider to ‘prove it’s perfect’.

Gallagher Premiership team, Bath Rugby has partnered with Thatchers to recruit a cider ‘taste’ officer for its annual event, The Clash, at Twickenham on 6 April.

The job will pay a flat rate of £200 for the day and will involve sampling the Thatchers that is used at The Clash, to confirm its quality is top notch.


To apply for the role, you have to be 18 years or older. Obviously.



You also have to be passionate about cider (we guess this just means it’s your go-to drink on a night out) and have a love for rugby.

No prior experience is required. Apparently. Though we’d suggest you get a good taste for cider, because you’ll be drinking it all day.

With the job, you’ll also get free entry to the event.

At the event, the new recruit will be sampling the Thatchers used on site before it’s sold to the public, to confirm the taste is to Thatchers’ high level of standard.

Bath Rugby and Thatchers endorses responsible drinking so the candidate will be required to take regular water breaks to re-hydrate, eat and watch parts of the game.

Of course, you won’t be able to drive home after the event, so you best beg your mum to give you a lift.

Game day gates open for pre-match entertainment at 11am, with the game kicking off at 2pm. The ‘taste’ officer will need to arrive at 10:30am and will be on shift for just a few hours, so they can still watch the game. After that they can head to the West Fan Village to enjoy the rest of their evening.

Ben Wells from Bath Rugby said: ‘I can’t think of a better way to come and cheer on the Blue, Black and Whites. To be honest, if I wasn’t working, I’d apply myself!

‘Tickets are selling out fast so fans who want to experience an action-packed day of professional rugby and family fun at the end of the season need to act soon.’

If you’re interested in applying, you can do so through the Bath Rugby website.
