Your Bristol & Somerset Wedding - October/November 2023 (Issue 97)

CHEERS! Penthouse Cocktails recently celebrated its first birthday and has released an all-new Bridal Cocktail Box to celebrate. Containing four cocktails, it’s inspired by the traditional rhyme something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. Each box contains pre-mixed ingredients to make the cocktails, with bridal-themed garnishes and instruction cards. All you need are glasses, ice and a shaker. Each one is bar-quality and includes gin, tequila, vodka and rum, as well as amazing flavours such as cucumber and watermelon, coconut and chocolate. Ideal for spicing up a hen-do or as a quirky wedding gift. Instead of popping open the wine with your girls on the night before the big day, why not make it a memorable night with themed cocktails?

Introducing Bristol’s newest pub with rooms, Hort’s Townhouse. Located in the heart of the city and a short walk from Bristol’s bustling shopping district, it reopens following an extensive refurbishment. Located on Broad Street, this stunning Grade II listed Young’s pub has been beautifully redesigned into a glorious townhouse, serving up a menu that champions British produce, craft beers and cask ales, while upstairs you’ll find 19 boutique bedrooms. No two rooms are quite the same, from the cosy (perfect for a snug stay) to the loft (for something a little different). Some boast expansive windows and high ceilings, others feature quirky corners and separate free-standing bathtubs, but all come complete with an uber-comfy Hypnos bed, a rainfall shower, carefully curated mini bar stocked to the brim with treats and tipples, and a Nespresso coffee machine. With interconnecting rooms, sofa beds and space for cots, there’s somewhere for everyone to stay from wedding party guests and couple retreats, to families and groups. Plus, there are some dog-friendly rooms available, so no one gets left behind!
