Refreshing Cold Drinks

Someone holds a bottle of Thatcher’s Cider, which has a yellow label with the company branding on it. Someone behind is holding a Thatcher’s branded pint glass filled with golden cider. A can of beer sits on a boulder, lit up by the sun. The can is printed with a yeti about to take a sip of its own beer. The can is branded ‘Basecamp’ and the tag line is ‘Unleash the Legend’. Six glass bottles of Hullabaloos-branded soft drinks are arranged in a row. The labels indicate the type of drink, including four types of lemonade plus elderflower presse and ginger beer. Four cartons of juice are arranged on a plank background. Three of the juices are standing up and one is on it’s side, angled towards the viewer. The cartons are labelled with the flavours - three are visible and say ‘Apple and Mango’, ‘Sunshine Orange’.

Try a nice cold can of our very own Yeti IPA, brewed for us by Pinkers Craft Brewery in Weston-super-Mare, or reach for a cider from our local neighbours, Thatchers Cider. Our menu of cold, fresh drinks includes:

  • Cider
  • Beer
