During this week where XECO Wines wines will be doing a popup to celebrate their 2nd birthday (event: XECO Wines 2nd Birthday) at our bar & shop, we will also be showcasing Spanish cider (or Sidra) and have some available to try for free…
Produced in the North of Spain in the Basque and Isturian Regions, Spanish sidra has distinctly sharp, fresh, zingy and acidic, it needs to be aired by pouring it from at least 50cm so that it lands with a splash into a flat bottomed Glass, little by little.
We made this video to show how to pour (and how not to pour) Spanish Cider...

This week’s ‘Cider of the Week’ is from Bollhayes - a fine, dry and naturally sparkling cider made by traditional in-bottle secondary fermentation.
They are visiting our arches bar & shop this Saturday from around 4pm to give out free samples too… make sure you don’t miss out!
“A very fine cider” Oz Clarke (BBC TV Food Programme)
... Made in exactly the same way as the classic sparkling wines, Bollhayes Bottle Fermented Cider is pale amber in colour with a profusion of bubbles, and an eloquent flavour; bone-dry apples with all the complexity of bottle ageing. An excellent, interesting and lower alcohol alternative to sparkling wines.

Happy International Beer Day!
To celebrate we looked for a beer-related 'Cider of the Week', something hopped (and no, we didn’t just choose our own Hopped Cider…) so we went for the amazing Blakstoc ‘Quincy Jo & Hops’. To be honest we LOVE all of Blakstoc’s cider but this one is superb. It smells like an IPA, and with the addition of hops it makes the perfect choice for our cider of the week to celebrate ‘International Beer Day’.
This is available to taste for free, or buy by the bottle, in our bar & shop this week. Also available to buy online (or Deliveroo if local).

Last night we hosted Art Sippers at our bar & shop for a fun evening where Cider met Art.
Art sippers are a great, fun and engaging experience led events company, and they host groups of people who are encouraged to express themselves through the form of art, as well as meet new people, spend time with old friends, relax, and unwind, while enjoying some really exciting new drinks.
