Now that the weekend is within touching distance, there are fewer prospects more tantalising than that of joining the Gin and Cheese Club, in which patrons are encouraged to enlist on a Friday evening, at Cox and Baloney – the tea room with just a hint of the alcoholic about it.
Situated part of the way up Cheltenham Road, C&B serves up what you would expect it to in the daytime. Fast forward to Friday evening, though, and the friendly folks behind the counter begin to tempt their customers with a selection of gins and cheeses – which are just about as good as they sounds.
Every Friday, two can sample their whole selection of gins (and a range of accompanying cheeses) for £28. Name us a more iconic duo than gin and cheese? I’ll wait.
The offerings throughout the rest of the week aren’t too shabby either. When booking a table, bespoke menus can be tailored to your whim, with specialist tea-tasting and cocktail-making workshops offered regularly. Three event rooms also provide the perfect space for your day-time functions, parties and wedding receptions.
Don’t just take our word for it though- Olive Magazine, who included them as one of the five best tea-rooms in the country, had this to say about it: "For a vintage tearoom experience Cox and Baloney in Bristol's creative Stokes Croft area is a floral-frock and granny's-china kind of place. Sink into a sofa and step back in time with an old-fashioned tea party.”
To book a table or for more information, head on over to their website, or check ‘em out of Facebook or Twitter.
