Bristol's Food & Drink Scene

Bristol is well know as one of the premier food and drink destinations in the West. As well as being a top spot for music, our discerning citizens love a good bite to eat. New foodie areas like Wapping Wharf have appeared over the past few years - providing more choice than ever for visitors wanting to grab a bite.

With a strong vegan and health food community in districts like St Werburghs and Gloucester Road, there are a lot of events catering to these crowds too. The annual Vegfests provides ethically sourced food and drink as well as music. Werburghs' institution 'The Farm' run regular food events with a locally-sourced agenda. You can also look forward to events like Grillstock, Eggs Benedict Day or the more drinks-focused South Glos Food & Drink Festival and the UK Rum Festival.

“There is water and tea-making facilities at the studio. You're welcome to bring your own food and drink, buy them at the bar, or snack on the delicious pizza we'll have available from our friends at The Stable next door <3”

“Historically, it is a time when the world of the gods is revealed to humans, when the barrier between our worlds thins. At this time, the gods were believed to play many tricks on humans, with many spooky and unexplainable occurrences happening. We strengthen our connection through music, fire, dance, and offer food and drink to ensure that we make it to the other side of the darkness.”

“The Open Studios weekend promises to be a chance to explore the labyrinthine building, taking in the film studios and cinema in the basement, into all the numerous artist spaces and a pole dancing studio in the basement. The foyer will be open for food and drink, where you can grab a coffee and a bite to eat from some of Bristol’s independent food traders. Make a weekend of it and enjoy the delights of Windmill Hill City Farm or a stroll around Victoria Park while you're here.”
