The Cider Box

My friend and I recently held our 40th birthday party at The Cider Box, and it was the perfect venue for what we wanted. Great size, flexible layout, and very easy to decorate (although it already has some lovely decorations up anyway); an impressive DJ booth and good sound system. Seems purpose-built for a party! Dan, the owner, was very accommodating and helpful on the night and in the run-up to the event. Super friendly and chilled bar staff, and a good selection of booze on offer (not just cider!). We’ll definitely recommend it to friends, and hope to be back soon!

We recently had a fortieth birthday party at the Cider Box and it was the most perfect venue. From our initial enquiry Dan was super helpful and accommodating, and always incredibly quick to respond to any questions we had. On top of that he's a lovely guy who we were really happy to have around with us on the night! The sound system is top notch and the location is brilliant - with nobody around to disturb you can party with peace of mind. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a venue to host a party in Bristol - we look forward to coming back.

A really pleasant diversion to excellent cider, with the mulled options particularly helpful on a cold day. The early afternoon rave set was at least entertaining to watch even if some of us are well past our dancing days.

We first visited the arch when CiderBox was just a few months old & fresh out of lockdown. We all, kids included received a warm welcome with a great selection of ciders and snacks. Due to those early days we’ve been returning regularly bringing friends and family along who have all enjoyed the visit and even taking their own friends there too. The kids love it chalking on the road, riding bikes and kicking a ball and we’ve even attended an online virtual cider tasting session as well as cheese nights at the arch. As the business has grown the cider selection has grown hugely along with the snacks but the great service and personal warm welcome has never faltered despite some very challenging times due to COVID in 2020/21. It’s a bespoke place in a strange setting surrounded by old industrial / railway architecture but there’s just something great about it all with an eclectic mix of people that are completely non-pretentious and all enjoying themselves. Biker friendly too may I add!👍🏻 Dan is a great host and a supporter of other businesses too often welcoming a mix of food vendors. Get down there, sample the ciders and chase them with a small glass of mead! You won’t regret it!

What a great party at The Cider Box! The range of drinks is excellent! Thank you so much to Dan for being the perfect host- highly recommended!

Just had a joint 50th birthday at the cider box and we couldn’t have picked a better venue. The space is great, Dan was excellent with the arrangements, quick to reply and made everything clear, and on the night the bar was excellently stocked and Sam and El looked after us perfectly. They didn’t mind our music being loud and we danced until the 2am finish time. We had such a great time, Thank you so much for helping to make our celebration so special. I’m sure we’ll be back sometime if you’ll have us… BTW - I didn’t do a review for food as it’s a bar/taproom and they don’t do that

What an absolute gem of a spot in Bristol! Having been to Bristol many times we had somehow never discover the Cider Box but now we know, we'll be back with bells on! The chap behind the bar couldn't have been more friendly, welcoming or knowledgeable and the cider was delicious. There was the perfect one for everyone's taste! Thank you for such a great afternoon and can't wait to come back!
