| Its a cider house on a boat, you can see how that is enjoyable. Good breadth of ciders on offer here, as well as bottles of beer for people who don’t drink the strong stuff. Only fault is that the music can be a bit loud and heavy during daytimes when people are trying to have conversations. Other than this, well worth a go. JoWard25 - 11 Dec 2011 15:50 |

| Been here a couple of times and never been disappointed. Good range of ciders well kept on tap. Plenty of space on the upper deck and on the dockside if the weather's nice (can imagine it getting a bit packed inside if raining!) pubscouter - 29 Aug 2010 23:01 |
| A cider barge conveniently situated at the end of King Street. There’s a reasonable sized bar on the lower deck, outside seating on the top deck which is surprisingly warm thanks to the heaters and plastic curtains. It’s nicely done out with a good view over the docks and a few fairy lights strung around which give it an attractive look. There’s also a small amount of outside seating on the dock side. It seemed to be full of students on a recent Wednesday night. I’m not sure if that’s the norm or not, it may have been busier than usual as it was St. Patrick’s Day but they also appear to do some type of discounted drinks deal for students. This is very much a cider house, in fact I’m not sure there was a beer on offer. Half a dozen or so ciders are chalked up on a board, and there’s a good selection of bottles as well. On this occasion the ciders on tap included the rather pleasant Happy Daze, Thatcher’s Traditional, Janet’s Jungle Juice, Heck’s Sweet, and the Old Bristolian which is only served in half pint glasses. I was expecting something similar to the Exhibition from the Coronation Tap, but was a bit disappointed with this. It has a distinctly sherry like taste to it. Blackthorn - 18 Mar 2010 10:20 |
| A neat concept mirroring the grain barge further up the dockyard system (btw it's a nice walk between the two if you stay dockside). It does have a couple of drawbacks - the bar is stupidly small for such a large potential capacity and the food is too expensive. The interior also seems rather gloomy to me, whereas the Grain Barge does well at letting the light in. However if you're after an interesting cider in interesting surroundings (there's dockside seating available as well as inside the boat itself) you could do worse than come here for a couple and then pop over to the Orchard for a late evening session.
