Rude Giant brewery to open Salisbury brew house and restaurant

Rude Giant Beer House will open in Salisbury in the site of Salisbury’s largest independent music venue and will have inside and outside seating areas totalling 80 covers.

Located on Brown Street in the centre of the cathedral city, the 1,500sq ft venue once housed US soldiers during the war with inscriptions from their time there discovered on the walls during renovation.

The food offer will focus on drinking food with menu items including smash burgers; and mac n’ cheese alongside sides such as fries; bourbon baked beans and Westcombe cheddar; and giant frickles.

It will serve Rude Giant’s beers as well as those from fellow independents and a list of European wines through working with Wiltshire-based wine merchants Gardner & Beadle.

“Establishing Rude Giant’s first permanent space feels like a massive step for the brewery and something we are all excited about. Our spot on Brown Street in Salisbury is special – original parquet flooring, historic drawings on the walls, and importantly generous outside area makes the space really unique,” says co-founder Ethan Davids.

“We’re a Wiltshire-based business and for us provenance is key; so, it’s only right that our first beer house is in the city we all grew up in. We’re buzzing.”

Rude Giant Brew was created by founding partners who include Dan Hancock of Immersive Group; Joe Robinson of Blonde Brothers; Lyall Dew, formerly of Sixpenny Brewery and The Brew Shack; and Ethan Davids of Chickpea Group.
