Plans for new cider bar and bottle shop on Bristol's harbourside

Wapping Wharf has welcomed some cracking new businesses this year and another exciting new addition could be just around the corner.

Following hot on the heels of Dog Town and Loki Poke, The Cider Box hopes to open its second site in the city at harbourside shipping container development Cargo.

Customers would be able to pick up bottles of cider made by the finest regional and international producers to take away, or drink it on site at one of the outdoor tables.

Taking over the unit formerly home to Loop Massage, which is moving to a larger premises on nearby Rope Walk, The Cider Box would also sell cider slushies perfect for the sunny weather.

The Cider Box's popular taproom in St Philip's would remain open alongside the sister site, which is subject to licensing.

Dan Heath, founder of the Cider Box, said: "It's massively exciting for us as we open a second site in Bristol, bringing cider back to Wapping Wharf and opening Bristol's only cider bottle shop.

"The shop will feature ciders from across the world, with the US, Sweden, Spain and France all featuring alongside the finest ciders from across our region.

"The cider slushies will be out of this world, made using fresh pressed cider, not from concentrate, straight out of Glastonbury and made even better with the addition Somerset Cider Brandy liqueurs."

Dan - who also operates a cider distribution service - plans to serve hot spiced cider during the winter months.

He hopes to be up and running in mid-August, open from midday to 8pm between Wednesday and Sunday.
