Showerings cider has secured a listing at Rules, one of London’s most iconic restaurants. It will be the only cider on its menu.
The Showerings family has been producing cider for more than 180 years in the heart of Somerset. Rules, in Covent Garden, is London’s oldest restaurant, having been established by Thomas Rule in 1798.
In addition to the listing, Showerings and Rules are partnering at drinks festival Cocktails in the City, taking place in Bedford Square’s private gardens from 5th-7th September.
Showerings is fast becoming a favourite cider among with UK chefs, including Simon Rogan and Alain Roux. It is already served in some of the UK’s most respected fine-dining restaurants, such as three Michelin-starred L’Enclume, The Waterside Inn, The Hand and Flower in Marlow, and NOBU. It is also sold by Partridges, Amathus Drinks, and Bailey & Sage, among others.
It has also just released its newest blend of triple vintage cider, using apples from the 2021, 2022 and 2023 harvests.
“We are delighted to be listed at Rules, the oldest restaurant in London.” said Nick Showering, director of the cider-maker. “It is a highly renowned and respected restaurant, and a natural fit for Showerings with our similarly established heritage.
“We are thrilled to be the only cider on its menu, and this new listing only furthers my mission to change people’s perception of cider and highlight how well it pairs with good food.”
