The Cider Box

🌞🍺𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗽-𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗽𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 🍺🌞
We've just had a Teams call with the who have confirmed that this Bank Holiday weekend will be drenched in heatwave temps in Bristol. Their suggestion is ice cold fresh cider to balance ourselves out, and we couldn't agree more. We're toasting the glorious blue skies with a cheeky £4 deal on all draft pints this Friday & Saturday, in a thinly veiled ploy to attract you to the Silverthorne Lane Rivera; the home of Bristol's only Cider Tap Room. That's all craft ciders & craft beers, an astonishing £4 on Friday from 4pm-7pm and Saturday 1pm-4pm. Perfect pre / wherever you're heading off to.

Plus we have something new, fresh & tasty launching on Saturday + the cider from Apple Day 2025 to taste + some ridiculous cheese on the house too. Dreamy.

📸 from our opening day 2020. The printed branded cups lasted less than 2 weeks before vanishing, lovely idea though 😁

It's landed for 2026:
What better way to spend a lazy sunny Saturday afternoon than meandering around Bristol's historic harbourside, with generous pours of fine juices including rare Perry's, Single Varieties & , swinging by cider institutions such as along the way. A mouth watering pit stop at completes the scene- it's forbidden to enjoy cider without cheese in some parts of the region. A sublime session, we love it- sharing tales of orchards & stories of cider in the city we call home ♥️

Kicking off this Saturday, and then every other Saturday until the weather turns grim. Book using the links in our bio or for groups of 7+, DM us. We've run tours for office parties, stags/hens, birthdays and so on- the more the merrier 🍻🎉

No April Fool's here, just the finest pedigrees; including this fine creature, Koji, pictured here with it's adorable owners .anna & , regulars at the Tap since 2020 ☺️

Somehow we've found ourselves at the tail end of 2025, with just one more sleep til the biggun. Our evening event with is completely sold out with no tickets on the door- check Headfirst for waiting list.

The dark damp nights have crept up on us and things are looking Bladerunner-esque down on the Silverthorne Lane Rivera. It's our fave time of year- a time for harvest, mulled cider, keeping warm & going out out.

All evenings are booked out at the Tap until mid-January. We have some daytime availability if having a dance & being in bed by 8pm is your thing. Hit us up with ideas.

Never ones to miss a lazy play on a global headline, tonight/29th August at the Tap Room we're celebrating the engagement of & with an evening of back-to-back cheesy bangers, free cheese on the house and ridiculous deals on ciders. It hasn't gone unnoticed that Shepton lad Travis chose an orchard for the big photo op- the eagle eyed among you would have noticed the Slack ma girdles & Kingston Blacks hanging low on the branches surrounding the average lovers, ready for this season's harvest. Their romance is unsurprising when you think about it, given Taylor's links to the Mendips and her well documented adoration of scrumpy.

We start 7pm and end when we run out of cheese or get bored whichever is soonest.
