FOOD & DRINK

Bristol’s favourite maze of stalls and pop-up restaurants has revealed a jam-packed schedule of summer busking events for 2023. St Nicks will have local musicians from the Bristol Institute of Music Management (BIMM) performing for visitors as part of a summer series that delightfully intertwines shopping, eating and music. The acoustic sessions will fill the market with covers and original material on Saturdays throughout summer, including 24 June, 29 July and 26 August. The event is free and no tickets or booking is required.

The All Inn is the latest opening from independent hospitality group Dodo Pub Co., who are known and loved for their quirky yet traditional style. The venue, situated on Staple Hill Road, occupies the space previously known as The Cross Hands, and the team are committed to retaining the venue’s history and legacy, whilst offering the group’s signature burgers, Neapolitan pizzas and and a range of both locally sourced and specially brewed Dodo beers.

The All Inn’s range of burgers, pizzas and sides is available on Deliveroo, with 30% off first orders for the first month (until 22 June). The All Inn will be open seven days a week from 12pm11pm, offering all day drinking and dining.

Dan and Joie Rosser have officially opened Noah’s fish and chips and seafood kitchen. To be found next to the river on Brunel Lock Road, Noah’s looks out to some of the city’s most well-known landmarks, with the historic B bond tobacco warehouse on one side and Cumberland Basin and Clifton Suspension Bridge on the other. The iconic building, previously occupied by local cafe institution Lockside, which traded for 60 years and featured in several TV shows, including Only

Fools and Horses, spans one floor and has been completely transformed by its latest custodians.

Noah’s follows in the footsteps of thriving award-winning restaurant, The Scallop Shell in Bath, opened by Dan’s parents, Garry & Lisa Rosser in 2015, and shares their ethos for simple, beautifully cooked seafood delivered in a relaxed setting with the warmest hospitality. Dan has honed his chef skills working with Mitch Tonks in Devon, Marco Pierre White in Singapore and Nieves Barragán Mohacho in London while Joie fell in love with hospitality life working for the Ritz-Carlton and Jason Atherton in Singapore.
