Fakeaway recipes in Bristol
Sticky toffee pudding origin, strong independent food scene, foodie reputation.
Bristol is a foodie city — the birthplace of sticky toffee pudding (Cartmel Village Shop, 1907; widely adopted by Bristol restaurants) and home to some of the UK's strongest independent restaurant and takeaway scenes. The St Marks Road area has the city's Middle Eastern and North African scene (Berber, Café Kino, Palmyra). The Gloucester Road is a long stretch of independent takeaways.
Bristol's chippy culture is strong — Handy's, the Fish House, Salt Cellar, the Bank — and Sunday roast is a religion. The proper Bristol chippy does proper fish suppers with curry sauce, mushy peas, and proper chips. The Bristol Balti (a heavier, sourer curry) is also a local thing.
For chains: McDonald's, KFC, Subway, Nando's. Pizza Hut and Domino's. Five Guys has a strong showing. Bristol is also home to one of the original Pieminister pie shops.
