Oliver's Cider & Cheese Tasting! 13th August, 7.30pm.

Cider & Cheese Tasting!


Join us on Wednesday 13th August for a midweek event as part of our Cider & Perry Festival. Throughout the week we'll be offering a great selection of cider and perry, but this is really the main event!

Tom Oliver, of Oliver's Cider, will be present to take you through a tasting of four of his ciders, which will be expertly matched to four artisan cheeses from Dartmouth Park's Truffles Delicatessen.

This is a great informal opportunity to meet a master of the craft and pass some lovely things across your lips as well. Of course there will be plenty more cider to purchase afterwards!

Limited number of tickets available, so please buy early to avoid disappointment. From behind our bar, Truffles Deli from Saturday, and via Ticketsource.(http://www.ticketsource.co.uk/date/117723)

£10 ticket covers 4 x 1/3s of cider, and a select portion of cheese with each 1/3.

The Duke's Head CIder & Perry Festival



From 9th - 16th August we'll be stocking up on some amazing ciders from Oliver's Cider, Orchard Pig and London Glider. We'll be increasing our offer on keg, with both our house cider, Sheppy's, and Orchard Pig's Reveller on keg.

Keep an eye on our social networks for information on specific ciders on our cask lines and on the back bar in Bag In Box.

There'll also be a little surprise on the bar too...thanks to our friends at Orchard Pig.

You can express your interest in joining us for a drink, catch up on cider info and engage with team on Facebook event page.

Friday 3 January 2014

Wassailing at the Two Doves, Oakley Road, Bromley, 4th Jan 2014,7.30pm

I hope to be there !


Greetings

Since time out of mind (and they normally are) the Ravensbourne Mummers have been appearing at this pub to re-enact this classic tale of life, death and resurrection, featuring the famous dual between King George and the Turkish Knight.  Landlady Ellen is looking forward to providing two real ciders in honour of this event, while Dave, the official Ravensbourne Great Wizard, will officiate at the blessing of the pub's apple tree and the passing round of the wassail bowl containing mulled cider.

 As an added incentive, as if the aforementioned was not enough, the Ravenbourne Mummers may also be prevailed upon to demonstrate a traditional rapper dance from the north east of England, where within the confines of the pub, five men, holding newly acquired swords made of spring steel, will perform a complex interweave in tight formation while dancing a jig.  If performed correctly, it is a wonder to behold.  If performed incorrectly it is absolutely hilarious.  Thereby, giving rise to a classic win win situation for the audience.

Please put this event in your diaries and support local pubs, real ale/cider, and traditional pub entertainment all in one go!
