Bath Ales takes Graze bar and eaterie concept into the Cotswolds

Independent brewer and pub operator Bath Ales has opened its second Graze bar and brasserie following the success of its first outlet in Bristol.

The new Graze in Cirencester takes the concept of a stylish bar and eaterie with a sophisticated city feel to the Cotswolds. Graze in Bristol has built up a reputation for its steaks and Graze Cirencester will offer the same high-quality meat cooked on a Josper charcoal oven.

Meat is central to the menu and will come from a range of top-notch butchers and will always be dry aged, well matured, grass fed beef from a variety of breeds including Aberdeen Angus, Longhorn, White Park, South Devon and Dexter.

Customers will be able to enjoy Warmley-based Bath Ales’ flagship Gem bitter and its own range of cask ales and seasonal brews along with a varied wine selection from up-and coming boutique producers, including some cutting-edge natural, bio dynamic and organic styles of wine. 

The building on Gosditch Road has an ornate gothic façade and is believed to date back to the 17th Century.  Bath Ales appointed Bristol-based Simple Simon Design to create a sophisticated ambience in keeping with the period building. The firm also designed the brewer’s recently-opened venues Beerd in Bristol and The Grapes in Oxford,

Bath Ales retail director Robin Couling said: “We’ve taken inspiration from the great steak restaurants in London and New York and given the bar a modern make-over to offer customers a great pint of cask ale and the best quality dining under one roof.”

Graze Cirencester is Bath Ales’ 10th venue. In Bath it owns the Hop Pole, the Salamander, and the Swan at Swineford.
