This years Nissan International Horse Trials at Chatsworth (Derbyshire) kept to the tradition of being stunningly hot. Barrels & Bottles kept the crowds cool with our open-topped Champagne bus at the side of the main arena. Serving Champagne Canard Duchene and Fresita (the Chilean sparkling wine infused with strawberries) chilled to perfection the bus provided a grand stand view of the events.

Our open-topped London Bus has managed to gain access right next to the main show jumping arena at this years Chatsworth Horse Trials.
We will be serving Champagne Canard Duchene and Fresita by the glass and bottle. There will also be the chance to take part in our Champagne Cork Popping competition with the furthest cork receiving a prize. Expert advice will be on hand to demonstrate the traditional Sabrage method of opening a bottle of Champagne by hitting it with a sword! Mind those fingers.
