The Abbey Hotel Create a Jane Austen Cocktail - 'Northangover Abbey'

The Independent Bath Literature Festival is just around the corner, with the first events due to start on Friday 26th February 2016. The 10-day celebration of the written word has a packed program catering for an impressive variety of literary tastes. Among their headline shows is the 'Literary Death Match', hosted at The Abbey Hotel's Igloo venue. The contest will see four authors compete in a 7-minute 'write-off' with hints at a humorous finale. As well as hosting events, The Abbey Hotel are sponsoring the festival and are welcoming visitors into their Art Bar and Allium Restaurant where they can save 10% on food and drinks by showing a ticket or wristband. Their quality offerings include a special literary-themed cocktail list that includes a cocktail named in honour of The Jane Austen Centre - The Northangover Abbey! For those not in the know, it is widely believed that Northanger Abbey is in fact based on real-life happenings in Bath (that's our Abbey !). It's therefore very fitting that The Abbey hotel would choose this particular novel as their cocktail's namesake. We haven't yet been told what's in the cocktail yet but we hope to reveal the recipe after the festival concludes. If you'd like to try one for yourself, the Northangover Abbey cocktail plus five other marvels of mixology will be on sale from Friday 26th February until Sunday March 2nd 2016.
