New cider bar to hold first event

By Lowie Trevena  Monday May 4, 2020

The Cider Box was due to open its tap room to the public at the end of March.

But, as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, they have adapted their services to become an alcohol delivery service.

Despite the lockdown and mostly operating online, the Cider Box are still celebrating the opening of their St Phillip’s tap room on Saturday, May 16, with a cider, beer and cheese drive through.

EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

To celebrate the occasion, the company is offering Bristol24/7 members who attend the event a free wheel of cheese.

The Cider Box are partnering with The Bristol Cheesemonger and Lost & Grounded to serve craft beer, exclusive ciders, cheese from independent makers and more.

All current guidelines and advice will be adhered to at the event, which is strictly operating as an off license with no alcohol consumption on the premises, operating two metre distancing providing all staff with personal protective equipment.
