After a record sell-out last year, Food Passports are back. And this time, we’ve added two more districts for you to explore.
Bristol is home to one of the most exciting and diverse food scenes in the country, packed with top quality food outlets and independent businesses. But how can visitors and residents see it all without breaking the bank?
These three pocket-sized Food Passports act as your ticket around three gastronomic districts of Bristol:
Bristol’s Independent District – includes the famous Gloucester Road, finalist of the Great British High Street 2018.
Businesses include: Replay, Flour & Ash, Persian Deli, St Mary’s Kitchen, The Coconut Tree, Spicer + Cole, The Gallimaufry, Suncraft, El Colmado, Pigsty, Tincan Coffee, Planet Pizza, Hobbs House Bakery and Alchemy 198. Due to unforseen circumstances, Burger Bear is currently closed for refurbishment.
Bedminster – host to the annual Upfest street art festival, make sure to check out the murals while you explore.
Businesses include: Bubble Play Cafe, Storysmiths, Albatross Cafe, The Old Bookshop, Hugo’s, Flip, Zara’s Chocolates, Hobbs House Bakery, Tincan Coffee, Shake Express, Southville Deli, Tobacco Factory Cafe, Thali and El Rincon.
Clifton Village – with its glorious Georgian architecture and the world-famous Clifton Suspension Bridge.
Businesses include: Fishers, Nutmeg, Bar Chocolat, The Clifton Sausage, Saffron, East Village Cafe, Reg the Veg, Otomi, ANNA Cake Couture, Bar 44, Thali, Fujiyama and Spicer + Cole.
All of the venues provide a vegetarian option, and many of them can also cater for vegan diets, however please check the respective business websites for more information, or make the venue aware of any dietary requirements when you arrive.
In each district, the Food Passport is your ticket to a free taster or small plate in 13-15 different venues. Discover the cafés, bars, and restaurants on your doorstop (or on the other side of the city!), and find your new favourite joint.
Valid for the full ten days of the festival, there is plenty of time to either choose one district, or collect them all! Please refer to your passport and check business opening hours before visiting.
Buy direct from the Tourist Information Centre on the Harbourside.
