Women’s Rugby World Cup

The Women’s Rugby World Cup is kicking off, and we’ll be showing every bit of the action.

Join us to cheer on the Red Roses in style, with perfectly poured pints, mouth-watering food, and the kind of atmosphere that makes every try and tackle even more exciting.

Whether you’re settling in for a full match or just popping by to catch the highlights, there’s no better place to enjoy the tournament.

Barrel Walk for Charity

On Thursday, 18th September, our Young’s team will be walking 14.7 miles from Bath Brew House to King Street Brew House – but we won’t be going empty-handed. We’ll be transporting a barrel of Young’s beer the whole way, delivering it to be tapped at the finish line.

Why? We’re raising money for Maddy’s Mark, a charity dedicated to supporting the mental well-being of girls and young women through the power of sport. In partnership with Wooden Spoon, rugby’s children’s charity, Maddy’s Mark funds school programmes and club partnerships that build confidence, resilience, and community – all inspired by the incredible spirit of Maddy Lawrence.

Maddy was brave, passionate, and full of life. Help us honour her legacy by supporting this amazing cause. Whether you’re giving a little or a lot, your donation makes a difference.

Let’s raise a pint – and some funds – for Maddy.

Sip, Supper, Snooze

Introducing our topped-up two-night summer stay package – the perfect excuse to press pause and treat yourself to a little luxury. Think bed and breakfast for two dreamy nights, a delicious dinner on one evening, and to toast your stay in style, two refreshing Lillet Rhubarb Rosé spritzes on the house.

Whether you’re escaping the everyday or just in need of a change of scenery, we’ve got just the ticket.

Available for stays until 30th September 2025 – but don’t wait too long, the sunshine (and the spritz) won’t stick around forever.

The Hort’s Story

Siblings Richard, Annie and Bessie Hort came from a long line of caterers, their mother and maternal grandmother had run eating houses, while their father, William Hort, had been Bristol’s chief rates collector. They grew up in the family business, the Exchange Dining Rooms in Wine Street – the most fashionable restaurant in Bristol, where the first cocktails ever to be mixed in the city are said to have been made here. The restaurant moved to its present Broad Street site (now, Hort’s Townhouse) in 1922 with signature dishes including oyster soup and Dover sole.

Gift Vouchers

Whether it’s a round of cocktails, a romantic dinner for two, or indulging in one of our beloved Sunday Roasts, our gift vouchers are the perfect festive gift to treat that special someone. Plus, they’ve got a full year of fun to look forward to.
