The 47 best boutiques in Bristol

Stunning piece of modern architecture. The indoor/outdoor feel really works. Beautiful at sunset..

It's a big shopping centre, with great architectures, great design. The car parks are also big. The capacity is more than 2.500 cars. Besides shops, department stores, restaurants, coffee shops, lego store, technology & electronics store, there are also some entertainment, such as Escape Hunt, Treetop Golf, and King Pins (Bowling Alley). Toilets for customers are available.

WHERE DO I START? Start by walking through a glass bridge, which, in all honesty, did make me a bit hazy Then you get to the monstrosity of a shopping centre I don't know how to describe it Futuristic design with a lot of restaurants, shops and allsorts 🤯

Really pretty shopping centre / area. The indoor / outdoor architecture makes it open and light and inviting. Good selection of restaurants at the top level and shops on the bottom level. However, it is quite standard in terms of available shops and restaurants, e.g., no unique shops, just all the big chains. It is a bit of a long way from the car park to the lower shopping level (walking through the carpark, over the bridge, through the restaurant area, and down the escalators).

I attended pizza express last week with my kids, we were served by a very lovely young lady who I unfortunately can’t remember her name but she had brown and pink hair which my daughter loved! She greeted us at the door with a big friendly smile and seated us at the table. She was very polite and chatty throughout the whole service. The food was absolutely delicious and everything came out at the perfect time! I could not recommend this restaurant enough especially if you have kids, we will definitely be back!!

Large shopping complex with easy access parking nearby. Large eclectic range of shops. Plenty of food outlets and other nearby shops outside the complex. Easy to reach via road, bus or on foot.

Have visited Cabot numerous times, remembering the opening and hype surrounding it, to more recently. It's such a shame about the cinema, it was a great location and I had some great memories of amazing films there! The shops and restaurant options are fantastic and ever changing, and although car parking is a nightmare and queues into the center impact it, I can see they're clearly making an effort to reinvigorate the circus, considering it's been around for almost 17 years! Still looks like a new building and it's kept very clean and well maintained. I think Cabot would also benefit from a few more seating options, besides the giant staircase, maybe some proper sofa seating like Cribbs Causeway has dotted around? (But please, I'd love a new cinema in Showcases place!)

Cabot circus, with its wide array of shops. There is something for everyone here. If your driving, don't pay the clean air charge, park at portway Park and ride. It's only a short journey, and it saves a lot of stress and hassle.

Amazing ambience love the lay out of unique mall. Shopping experience was delightful as we were able to enjoy indoor and outdoorat the same time. Environmental friendly as glass roof was enabling sunlight to be the main source of light.

Pretty shady place after it starts to get dark. People passed out in benches large groups of travelers playing music and drinking. During the day it's fine. Security guards at most shops..toilets locked up.

Loads of shops and things to do there. Some good Halloween activities and things for kids too

Very nice place for shopping and having food. So many brands are available in this place.

High quality and luxury items and also nice view under the dome covered space where you can avoid getting wet in case of rain

The further south-west you travel the smaller the shopping experience. This has to be, alongside Cribbs Causeway, the last great hurrah for retail in this part of the world and well worth a visit.

I visited the St Nicholas Market today for the first time! It’s absolutely lovely with loads of variety of food and drinks to choice from. I had The Ultimate Combo from Low and Slow and the Big Five from Big Juice. All 10/10!!🤩 Only thing is if you go for lunch (which is when I went - around 12:30pm), it is quite packed and there are limited seats.

St Nicks Market is fantastic - today I went for shoe repairs, great service, and speedy! There are lots of independent shops with a huge variety, great for personal shopping and gifts. I've added 2 photos, one before the lunch time rush and one during, there is a great variety of food available.

My partner and I had a fantastic time exploring St Nicholas Market. It's an amazing spot to dive into a wide variety of food stalls – there are so many delicious options to choose from, and the prices are very reasonable. The market has a great, bustling atmosphere, though it can get quite crowded on most days. It's also a wonderful place for a bit of street shopping. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Bristol looking for great food and a vibrant experience!

It was my first time visit St Nicholas Market in Bristol. I really like this type of market including variety of food and different type of stalls with unique things. Must visit when you are in Bristol I would say.

Great market with a good selection of stalls ranging from fashion, clothing, arts & craft, home style, toys, jewellery, ornaments and some fantastic food stalls. Can't resist getting something to eat every time. Freshly made and smells so good. Eat here rather than the usual boring chains, there's something for all tastes.

This place is superb to visit - not just a market à la minu Camden, but also a quire excwlkent range of eateries

This place has a variety of food stalls. I loved the Moroccan chicken and some delicious venison, bacon, chicken, and vegetable pastries—all fantastic! I brought home some. Then I stopped by the store. I didn't realise it would be so beautiful, with a variety of blouses, dresses, cotton and linen trousers, and beautiful leather bags. A restaurant and cafe with a selection of delicious snacks and some wood and ceramic crafts, and the people were lovely! I loved it and I must go back! Cheers

Absolutely disgusted with garment quarter. Bought T-shirt which was way oversized. Returned for a refund which they subsequently sent back to an Amazon account I don’t even have. Proof of purchase sent to them that it was bought on my visa debit card and they still refuse to refund me the £71. Keep telling me to contact my payment provider but how can I when I don’t have an Amazon account. My bank have not had any refund from them. Please do not ever buy from the shop they are a complete con and fraudulent company and their customer service is non existent in manners and help.

Absolute joke of a company, informed me that they have received the trainers back I had purchased, and said they had refunded me, however they didn't refund me they took the money of £229 out of my account. When I emailed them and asked why they wouldn't have it and said they had refunded me. Sent them a picture of my bank statement and they are still denying that it wasn't them that took the money. So now they have the trainers back and also made money off me. Still in the middle of a complaint that has been ongoing for than 4 weeks. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY STAY CLEAR OF EM.

Awful customer service, I purchased a pair of Versace trainers from them and wore them for 3 days and they broke. When I tried to return them the “manager” was rude, unhelpful and (attempted to be) condescending… she refused a refund as she said it was wear and tear (I don’t think wear and tear applies to 3 days). Just not the kind of service you expect when purchasing higher calibre brands… Harvey Nichols is down the street, so I would shop there if I were you! I then messaged customer service and they have not replied to any email! Really really poor service. One star is too high

Brilliant service, warm welcoming staff and an affordable price for luxury items. The staff here are extremely helpful and treat you how you expect to be treated when entering a shop such as garment quarter. They were quick to grab items in the size that i requested and honestly couldn't be more helpful! I am from wales and garment quarter makes the trip to bristol worth it!

Used to be a great company used many times. Since being taken over by flannels Customer service is awful. Waiting a month for a refund. Then fobbed off saying it’s been done and then ignoring all emails and calls. I’d avoid if I was you. There returns department is awful

The new store looks incredible and they have an amazing selection of top brands. I've made many purchases from them over the years and have always been impressed with both the quality of the clothes and the customer service. Great store - highly recommend!

Quite bad service staff were chatting away the whole time. They didn't even acknowledge me when I entered, it was a very awkward situation. I work in Cabot and its a shame this store has some lovely pieces by Victoria Beckham and other designers that Harvey Nichols don't offer.

One of the best second hand shops I've seen in the last 40 years. What makes a shop like this great is the selection process. When you have a second hand shop people give you stuff constantly and most shops are too full, and most of the stuff is pretty average. Rhubarb selects its stuff like a curator would select items for an exhibition. Everything in the shop is a gem in some way and the staff make you feel welcome to browse for as long as you like. I went there to get some Xmas presents and it was the ideal place to get everything I needed. So much better than a gift shop or any other type of shop I could imagine for getting gifts. Worth a detour. In fact, if you're getting the bus from Bristol Airport you can get off at the first stop and get here in a jiffy (just ask the driver for "North Street").

Staff are always lovely and there's so many cute items to buy!

Now here's a well-curated vintage shop. You can always trust the quality of vintage stocked by Rhubarb Jumble. They've done all the hard work of pulling together the best pieces, making it a pleasure to browse! Amy is super friendly and knowledgable too. I just wish there was one closer to my house… good thing they now have a website!

You never know what you're going to find in Rhubarb Jumble! Always full of vintage treasure, from mid century furniture to 60s hair clips and with an expertly curated range of clothing. It was the first place I bought myself a house-warming gift of a lamp when I first moved to Bristol 8 years ago and it still sits happily on my bedside table. If you're unable to make it to the shop, be sure to check the website too!

Such treasures and charm! This lovely lady has a great eye for vintage, retro and collectable stuff. She brings it all together in style and with impeccable manners that you will leave with something beautiful and feel like you have made a pal. I love it and really look forward to my next visit.

Absolutely love this shop!! It has the most amazing collection of clothing, homewear and jewellery. The staff are so friendly and really knowledgeable. 100% worth a visit

Absolutely love this shop. You can always find a little gem in there be it clothing or accessories or gorgeous vases or ornaments for the home. The staff are really friendly and helpful and I've never left here without buying anything!

Love all the stuff in this shop, however the staff are extremely unwelcoming and rude. Felt very uncomfortable in store which is a shame considering the items are so lovely!

Just popped into Fox & Feather for the first time in ages. Full of really lovely pieces but I did not enjoy the experience as neither of the two sales assistants could be bothered to say hello or even acknowledge my presence. At all! Just carried n looking at their phones and chatting. Felt quite awkward so I left. No 1 rule in retail - your customers should be your absolute 1st priority. Some serious customer service training required in this place!! A real shame and not a nice experience 😐

Nice shop but worth noting that when buying something online and it doesnt suit you are charged for post both ways. First time happening when using a smaller business and put me off.

I order on line a mustard jug and it arrive two days later. Fully informed of delivery and the item turned up all in one piece. It was well wrapped and the hand written personal note was a nice touch. Would order again and when in Bristol will go and visit the shop

A wonderful independent shop full of great small label brands, a wide variety of clothes and home wares and a generally delightful shopping experience. I get all of my clothes here!

Excellent procedures in place to ensure a safe visit for all customers. I love how personable every visit to fox and feather is. Great staff always on hand to help and advise. Gorgeous clothes and I love the homewear too

The Fox and Feather is one of few independent shops in Bristol with a good selection of menswear. I was impressed with both the quality of the items and the price - which was I thought fairly good value. The shop itself also has a larger womenswear selection and is well worth a look if you are trying to find a quirky gift for someone. A welcome addition to Gloucester road (which has the largest number of independent traders on any one road in the UK), I think the shop will do well.

Online customer here 👋 Joh went above + beyond to make sure I was happy with my order after a little mixup. So much cool stuff to choose from - I wish I lived close by as I'd be in there all the time! 💫👽

I've ordered online and received only part of my order. Any emails to resolve this issue were ignored and when I tried calling I couldn't get through. Disappointing experience from a shop with lovely stock. This was amended once I connected his Instagram. Everything was sent on the end.

This is a fantastic independent store who clearly works hard to support local creators! They sell beautiful products as affordable prices, this is coming from someone who usually ocean only afford £30-60 for Christmas presents a year. The store and it’s staff has a very open and warm atmosphere, they’re kind, chatty and happy to help. I highly recommend!

Love this little treasure trove of beautiful independent lines of clothing and jewellery. Feels like such a treat to visit. Favourite place to pick up some sparkles and amazing for gift buying too.

Truly independent shop - so good for festival outfits!!! So if that's what youre looking for definitely take a look here. Great original pieces of clothing and jewellery and nice just for a look. Just a short walk away from the main shopping quarter. Staff seemed friendly too. Great vibe!

Brilliant range of Bristol makers. Love exploring this little treasure trove - it’s very hard to leave without buying something! Can’t wait to visit again soon :)

From poppin' street wear to festival glam, men and womens vintage to enviable household nik naks. This cracking little independent truly has something for everyone. Working tirelessly for years to keep us in top threads and against all the odds, they really deserve to be supported by all of us in the community. So get in there and get yourself a piece of Bristol.

This Is a very nice vintage clothing store, I visited on the off chance they had something, whilst i was there I found one of (my now) favourite shirts form a long gone season of a brand I like. This shop it right outside st Nicholas market and fits in well with the stalls there

Great collection of items piled high to suit a variety of needs/styles. The person running the shop was very friendly and knowledgeable when it came to assisting customers.

Good Shop and a good shop owner

Could not be the least interested in attending to customers. I was obviously interested in purchasing a tweed jacket, but was ignored. The person behind the counter was being told a long (and obviously very important ) tale by a female assistant? Pity really as the shop has lots of nice stuff in stock. If the talkative woman is employed be Urban Fox - I would recommend some staff training.

Mmmeh, it was okay. I actually love the lack of customer service unlike the other reviewers, but I felt the wares were a bit middle of the road for my personal taste. There was a lot of sportswear and men’s wear, most of it in decent shape, good colorways and nice branding. Just not what I tend to be hunting for so it was middle of the road for me.

The vintage goods may be great but the customer service is third world. Snooty people are bad for business. And in Bristol, there's more superior vintage shops that also have respectful interested staff and management. Watch and learn.

Nice vintage shop, friendly retail service, good condition and price clothes

One of the finest boutiques in the country. I’ve lived in many other countries and this has to be one of the most beautiful boutiques I know. The brands are of superb quality and incredibly well thought out when bought in and displayed in the shop. I always say it’s like a high end luxury sweet shop. The colours and designers from Stine Goya are artwork in their own right. The boutique is like a work of art and worth a visit even just to take it all in. The owners have class and know how to display. No wonder film crew get inspiration from them. Two stores only in Bristol Clifton Village and Bath. If you ever get the chance to visit them please do. If you absolutely love fashion in every detail then you must visit these boutiques and see for yourself. Absolutely beautiful. You will be inspired and a fan for life.

The perfect example of why shops need to exist! Great selection of clothes for every occasion and for all ages. Helpful advice and service to match. Danny went over and above to help me when the zip a raincoat I had purchased from the shop broke, even though it was out of guarantee. If I had bought it online it just wouldn’t have been the same. Will definitely be returning and recommending to friends.

I was so pleased to visit Grace and Mabel last week- because of the pandemic and living in Wales, the visit was long over due. I had only planned to pop in for my favourite E. Coudray perfume - I called the day before heading over and chatted to the lovely Danii. The perfume was out of stock in Clifton but Danii was able to get it brought over from their Bath store and it was ready when I arrived. I was overwhelmed by the vibrant colours and the individual styling of the boutique. As I selected several garments to try on Tee was on hand to put them in my changing cubicle. Tee was the just the best- so helpful....up and down the stairs several times checking on sizes for me. Nothing was too much trouble. It was a really fun experience - I came away with several pieces which I'll be able to wear in so many different ways. Thanks Girls for a wonderful hour.....I'd forgotten how much I loved Grace and Mabel not only because of its individual styling but also your pure loveliness.

A lovely family run business and gorgeous shop! A beautiful selection of clothes from top designers, not to mention their cool and quirky home items! Great place for gifts - I wish i could buy everything honestly 😂 Friendly and professional staff, nothing is ever too much trouble! Keep up the good work guys x

The best shop EVER! Been shopping here since they opened and it's always a gorgeous selection of highly covetable items the team have carefully selected. They just seem to get it right every time! And the staff are just the loveliest who really know their stuff and just let you be. Be warned you can spend a lot of time in this shop! Without a doubt my favourite place in Clifton!

Ordered item online having never shopped here before as I didn’t know it existed. Will be returning. Super fast delivery and great communication all the way. Thank you so much.

Wonderful store, great to have more variety on the high st. Just be aware that they do not offer refunds in store if you change your mind. Not a problem but you have to be sure what you buy is suitable.

Best shop in Bristol for vintage designer streetwear. Affordable prices and always a wicked selection of clothes. Really friendly staff and always the best tunes being played! Highly recommend checking out.

Came down from London for Upfest. After finding out my favourite streetwear store, Seven had closed, a friend pointed me in the direction of Don Majors. The garms are unusual, rare and pure dope. Fresh collection of Moschino, Stone Island, Tommy, vintage Nike. Loved the shop. Female employee with purple hair was friendly, chatty and helpful

Don Majors, what can I say, the staff are so friendly I literally didn't want to leave. In fact I try to check in at least once or twice a week just to say hello and make sure they're all ok. That's not including the one day a week I pop in to actually look at the clothes. They've really nailed their collection, shirts, shorts, jumpers, scrunchies, sunglasses, trousers, skirts, hoodies, jackets, jeans, bags, roller skates, minirigs, caps, artwork, even a cheeky little sega mega drive bench. If you like wearing clothes, come buy them from here. Tip top.

Great selection of vintage street wear and a really well curated store with knowledgeable staff! Best in Bristol!

Great place to get the coolest of garms

Avoid, even though they give you a receipt at no point do they tell you you can’t return if the item doesn’t fit you.

Wicked little shop! Brilliant, well curated collection and minirig sold too! Y

Lovely area with many independent cafes and shops great vibe and a cool area to hang out or just be a tourist.

Nice village to hang around and walk. Enjoy the vibes there, it is different from the rest of Bristol.

Loved exploring this area very quirky loads of vintage shops.

Amazing quirky selection of shops. Urban chic in the classiest part of Bristol. Just don't try to park there because it was designed for stagecoaches.

A great village that I recommend visiting to anyone who is coming to Bristol! It is quite posh the view is great and it also has the Suspension bridge!

(Translated by Google) There are a lot of trendy shops, there are not many chain stores, and there are a lot of unique shops.I found a chestnut roaster at an antique store.The hot chestnuts roasted with this would be very delicious.You could almost hear the crackling sound! (Original) トレンディなお店がいっぱい チェーン店が少なくいろいろな個性的なお店がいっぱい 骨董品店で 栗のロースターをみつけました これでローストしたあつあつの栗はとってもおいしいでしょうね パチパチはぜる音が聞こえてきそう！

Brilliant day out for all ages. There is so much to see and do.Great information give ever where ,you can buy a very good guide book with all the information about the ship and docks yard.There is a dry dock, dock museum, Brunel museum the surrounding dock yard and best of all the ship.There are 3 main decks to explore. The staff are really lovely and can answer all your questions. There is a small cafe on the ship whit is very nice.Thete are toilets on the ship,in the museum and the shop.The museums are packed full of items related to the ship and Brunel .There is a well stocked shop and a cafe by the shop.You can use your tickets to return for a year.We spent about 5 hours exploring everything. I might recommend a vist

It was a great experience! The museum is absolutely stunning, especially the ship with the realistic figures — it truly takes your breath away. The lady dressed in the old-fashioned gown was amazing! I’ve visited the place twice, and each time I discover something new. Don’t forget to explore under the ship — I did that on my second visit — and above the ship, which I saw the first time. Totally worth visiting! 🚢✨

We visited here two years ago and wer impressed then, this visit did nothing to diminish that feeling. We really enjoyed the history of the Historic Dockyard and the SS Great Britain. The staff and volunteers are amazing and really friendly, plus the information they provided us was really interesting. The way it is layed out was very fluid allowing you to see an experience the life of this ship and the LIfe of Brunel. A must see when you visit Bristol.

Haven't been here for years but it's certainly worth a visit now. The last time I went I think the ship's hull was still open to the elements, it's now contained within a temperature controlled environment. They've done an excellent job with the museum and the continuing restoration of the ship. The ship's been 'dressed' brilliantly too! A fantastic experience!

You like ships and you enjoy history, so you're visiting right? Do, its worth it. Start in the shop, worth a peruse, then down and walk around the hull but with a little twist, you're under water or are you...? Worth mentioning, very humid in here but needs to be. Then, into the main museum and the history, not going to spoil the story here but interesting. Wind your way up and then onto the ship itself. Apparently, could house up to 700 passengers,good luck working out where they all slept! All in all,very enjoyable and would definitely bring the grandkids next time. Enjoy!

The ship and the man behind it are a very interesting historical story. The site covers both super well. It is easily one of the historical sites in Bristol. Be sure to check out both sides of the museum and the movie. Also be sure to ask about live presentations. They really add a lot of backstory.

Awesome museum with friendly knowledgeable staff. The ship itself is an awesome sight to see and the information provided by both the museum and the Brunel museum really helps you approacciate how revolutionary his vessel was at the time and see the genius of it's designer. A fine example of British engineering at its best. Access to the ship is good including for wheel chairs and children although I would be careful in the lower steerage class areas as the floors are not that level. The fact you can return on one ticket for 12 months shows great value. Parking is practically next door to the ship although remember Bristol has signed up to the clean air charge so expect to be charged for visiting and bringing money to the city.

We The Curious — A Wedding Venue That’s Truly One of a Kind We’ve had the absolute pleasure of photographing weddings at all sorts of venues, but We The Curious stands out as something really special. The planetarium ceremony space is unlike any other — an immersive dome that creates this incredible intimate atmosphere, perfect for couples wanting something unique and memorable. Sure, the low light can be a bit tricky, but that just adds to the mood and makes for some truly cinematic photos. The rest of the venue offers great flexibility with beautiful event rooms and balconies overlooking Bristol’s cityscape. The terrace is a favourite spot for guests to relax and mingle, especially if the weather plays ball. Plus, having the museum open for guests to explore after the ceremony adds an extra layer of fun and interaction that you just don’t get elsewhere. From a photographer’s point of view, We The Curious is a playground full of interesting spaces and colourful backdrops — perfect for creative couple and group portraits. It’s a venue that’s quirky, thoughtful, and full of heart. We can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking to throw a wedding that’s as unique as their love story.

I can't say enough good things about my experience with We Are Curious Bristol! From the moment I stepped in, I felt a genuine sense of warmth and community. The team is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, and it truly shows in every interaction. They have a fantastic range of events and workshops that are both thought-provoking and fun. I recently attended one on sustainable living, and I came away feeling so inspired and equipped with practical tips I could actually use. It’s clear they put a lot of care and effort into everything they do. If you're looking for a welcoming, engaging, and genuinely curious space in Bristol, this is it. Highly recommend!

I went to We The Curious in Bristol with my nephew and honestly it ended up being one of those days where both the kid and the adult end up enjoying it just as much as each other. The place has this mix of science, colour and hands on stuff that keeps you busy without even realising how fast the time goes. We both had our own favourite bits. For me, I really liked how interactive everything is. Nothing just sits there gathering dust, you actually get to press things, spin things and figure stuff out. My nephew absolutely loved the colour octagon wheel, and I have to admit I did too. It is so bright and weirdly satisfying to play around with. We must have stood there for ages just messing with it. Another thing I really liked was how friendly the staff were. They actually talk to you like they enjoy being there. My nephew loved the little experiments section where you can try out different gadgets and watch stuff light up or move. It kept him completely focused which is rare for him. The planetarium though, that is the best bit of the whole place. You go in thinking it is just a dome with stars, but it is amazing and creative and feels like you get pulled into the show. Barney the host was brilliant as well. Really funny, really clear and you can tell he enjoys what he does. He made the whole thing feel alive, like you are actually floating around space instead of sitting in a room in Bristol. I also liked how much variety there is. Every corner has something different going on. My nephew enjoyed the section with shadows and lights, and we both liked the big mechanical displays you can play with. By the end of it we were both tired but still felt like we could have stayed another hour. Overall We The Curious is one of those places that gets science right. It is colourful, creative and fun without feeling like school. If you go with kids they will be buzzing, but even as an adult you end up enjoying it more than you expect.

Few things were interesting and interactive Very busy on our visit i would avoid day entry which was £20! entry after 3 is £11 and probably a lot quieter. We missed out on half of the activities because it was so over crowded. Following on others reviews on google it does seem more philosophical than science-y. Would still recommend to visit as a time filler

We had a fabulous time here on Sunday afternoon. It was well organised and really interesting. As 2 adults we thoroughly enjoyed "playing" with all the hands on exhibits. It's fascinating, fun and educational all at once. A lovely lady called Shannon demonstrated a few things for us and gave us some interesting facts too. She was really knowledgeable and helpful. The planetarium show was an added bonus and amazing with the 3D glasses! Arthur gave us an excellent interstellar "tour" which was fun for the children but still interesting for adults and fascinating for everyone. He has a lovely manner and explained everything very clearly. I would thoroughly recommend this to young and old alike. It's fun, interesting and the staff were all lovely. 😉

Generally great, and kids will love it. The half price after 3pm is a good option in these price tough times (although there is certainly enough to keep you busy more then 2hrs!) Naturally it can be pretty chaotic, but there is a wide range of interactive games, learning experiences and fun activities. Tickets brought online beforehand was fine but it's always so annoying having to create an account and set a silly, long password just to book tickets, grr 🥺 guest checkout plz

My 10 years son enjoyed his time spending at the museum. Personally, I would prefer more interactive games or stuffs he can play. He like making his own video the most because he had done similar stuffs at school. Might come back in a couple year time.

Had a good time at the aquarium! It wasn't too crowded (except at the Octopus talk - which was otherwise fab!) and there was many interesting fish and underwater creatures. However, I have been to better and bigger aquariums, so about £42 for two adults felt a little steep for about 1.5h - we went slow and took our time looking at all the fish.

Amazing day out. Wheelchair and pushchair friendly in all parts. If you retain your ticket, you can go around as many times as you want. The animals are really well cared for, and the exhibits were brilliant. My son is autistic and absolutely LOVED it here. Toilets and cafe on sight

What an amazing place to go! My daughter who is 10 absolutely loved it! The staff were super friendly, really great at communication and made us feel so welcome. All the animals are kept in lovely clean tanks and well looked after. Even seen some fish I hadn't seen before! The garden bit in between some rooms was amazing, the trees and plants were gorgeous! Really recommend bringing children here as it was a lovely afternoon out!

We were here early before the crowds on a beautiful summer's day and pretty much had the place to ourselves. The aquarium is easy to visit with lots of explanatory information available regarding the different displays. A very worthwhile way to spend an hour or so if you are in Bristol.

tickets are a bit expensive but you can use them the whole day. they have a variety of fish as well as plants, two large pools with fish and sharks, there’s little dinosaur exhibits around too. very kid oriented but still okay for an adult. the gift shop is small with fine selection of souvenirs

The aquarium itself was fantastic, well designed and clean and a good layout. It was easy to get round and made the best use of the space available. My son loved it. In comparison the entrance, shop and cafe areas felt a little unloved in comparison, but not overly so. If it got the same attention to detail then this place would easily get 5 stars.

Was smaller then thought but there was still a lot to look at. Helpful how you can leave and enter on the same ticket so great if children get restless. Talks throughout the day were engaging and allowed to q&a. Very informative. We went for my son’s 1st birthday and was a good couple of hours out.

Definitely a 10/10 experience for me. The staff at the front desk was really helpful by mentioning what I’d find interesting on all the floors when I mentioned that it was my first time visiting the Bristol Museum. I was impressed by the artworks, silver and porcelain collection.

Free entry - though I gave £5 well Worth it. Great art collection for a gallery this size. Good variety from French Impressionism to 15th religious artworks. Nice and quiet. Good lighting and great descriptions to accompany the work.

Highly recommended when you’re in Bristol! 💛 The exhibits and art pieces are amazing, the staff are super lovely and helpful, and there’s even a cozy café onsite ☕ Plus, they have an interactive area for kids — perfect for families too!

So much to see and learn for free, highly recommend! You can spend hours here easily! My favourite section was the animals, just check out the photos.

Beautiful art, plenty of fossils and beautiful history to look to. Their gender exhibition was lovely too. The only thing that was kind of surprising was the fact that the museum closes at 5PM. I know the staff works hard and they're knowledgeable but I wish it was open a bit later, especially on the weekend. I feel like if they had a ticket price on entry, they might compensate a few more people's time to provide knowledge to the curious folk past 5PM. I'LL DEFINITELY COME BACK THOUGH!!!

The staff here were very helpful, and the art and exhibitions were interesting. There is a lot to see, and a lovely cafe and gift shop. We saw the gender exhibition, which I would highly recommend, there was an amazing array of art and artefacts, and the theme of the whole section is so important. Definitely worth a visit.

Bristol Museum & Art Gallery is a true cultural gem! Housed in a stunning Edwardian Baroque building, it offers an impressive array of exhibits—from ancient Egyptian mummies and Assyrian reliefs to dinosaur fossils and local wildlife displays. 😍😍. The art galleries feature works spanning centuries. What’s more, admission is free, making it an accessible and enriching experience for all. Whether you’re a history buff, art enthusiast, or just looking for a family-friendly outing, this museum is a must-visit in Bristol.

This is a beautiful church, I had a good nosy around, and in the cellar if you go down the steps, you'll find a new cafe selling authentic homemade Chilean food, coffees and cakes. You won't be able to miss it because you'll do what I did and follow your nose, it smells divine! The beef empanada was beautiful, and it was so lovely to sit in the warmth and take in the surroundings. Really finished off my trip nicely.

A gorgeous place to visit, with lots of information about the history of the church and its attendants on boards around the building. The stained glass windows in particular are absolutely stunning. It’s free to enter, so do make a donation or buy something from the shop if you’re able to.

This is truly a beautiful church. Well worth a visit. It's even nicer than the cathedral tbh. Lovely volunteers there too

Beautiful church nestled in the heart of Bristol, well worth your time if you’re walking by this place. The gardens are well maintained and there’s plenty of material in the church itself to guide you through a visit.

Absolutely beautiful and spectacular place to visit,lots to see and plenty of history to read around the building

ST MARY REDCLIFFE, BRISTOL. This large church is often called the city's second cathedral, and though it immediately appears high Victorian gothic, its origins lie in the 14th century. The north porch is famed for its sculptures, 19th century on the outside and ancient within, including many showing a range of strange beasts, and it also has a 15th century roof. It was in a room above this roof that the story of Thomas Chatterton, the legendary but well-meaning forger, began when he found a chest full of antique manuscripts and decided to create some of his own, including new examples of Shakespeare. The church is full of memorials of all kinds, from simple slabs bearing tools of the deceased's trade to elaborate tombs with painted effigies. It is clear that Elizabeth I was much respected here, and her effigy, now fixed in an unusual stance on a wall atop a narrow base, is almost startling in appearance. The various restorations over the years have resulted in a huge number of antique pieces of sculpture arranged along the inner walls for the visitor to make a close study.

A beautiful church and apparently the favourite of Queen Elizabeth I. Links to the foundation of the USA and retain the armour of admiral William Penn. Links to Bristols place in seafaring history including the slave trade where those sold into bondage by their own people where trafficked.

☕️ A well-priced breakfast/brunch menu with a great selection. The coffee was a good size, and the food was delicious

Sometimes — and I know this will offend the ‘small-plates-served-on-slates’ brigade — you just want to go somewhere nice, sit down, and have a good meal without the faff. No QR code menus, no foam, no bloke in a beard explaining the origin story of your butter. Just food. Hot. On a plate. With cutlery. Revolutionary, I know. That’s why, on a drizzly Thursday in Bristol, I found myself slipping into Côte like you might slip into an old pair of slippers. Not sexy, not Instagrammable, not likely to send the food bloggers into a froth, but warm, familiar, and bloody dependable. It’s like that same beach in Portugal you go to every year. Or the battered old book you re-read when the world gets too loud. Côte is the culinary equivalent of muscle memory. You know what you’re getting. You know you like it. And sometimes — especially when the alternative is limp Tesco meal deals or a cardboard wrap from Pret — that’s enough. More than enough. I was in and out in under an hour, which for a sit-down lunch involving slow-cooked meat and an actual conversation with a human being, is almost a miracle these days. The pork belly was everything you want pork belly to be — crisp on top, yielding beneath, like the world’s best crème brûlée with a PhD in pig. Served with potatoes dauphinoise so creamy you half-expect to need a defibrillator by dessert. This was not your standard Thursday lunch. This was Thursday gone rogue. The service? Snappy, polite, smiling. No performative theatrics, no one knelt down beside the table to introduce themselves as my “dining companion”. Just people doing a good job. Which, again, shouldn’t be exceptional, but these days it sort of is. And the price? For less than a tank of petrol or two cocktails in London, you get fed like a minor French aristocrat. Wine, mains, service — done. You leave full, happy, unchallenged, and slightly smug that you didn’t fall into the trap of “trying somewhere new” and ending up being force-fed burnt leeks in a reclaimed shipping container. Côte isn’t going to change your life. It won’t trend on TikTok. You won’t see it on the World’s 50 Best. But that’s the point. It’s unpretentious, consistent, French-ish comfort food done well in an age when everyone else is trying too hard. Well done, Côte. You’re still one of my favourites. Like those slippers. Not pretty, not loud. But always, always just right.

During our two-night stay in Bristol, we chose Côte Quakers Friars for one of our dinners—and let me tell you, we couldn’t be happier with our decision! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed, and the experience only got better from there. First and foremost, a huge thank you to everyone in the kitchen. Their attention to detail, especially regarding allergens, was truly impressive. One of us has celiac disease, and Côte’s extensive menu made sure we had plenty of gluten-free options to choose from. We started with the Cheese Soufflé and Seared Scallops—both were excellent, but if we had to pick a favorite, the Cheese Soufflé would win hands down. We expected it to be heavy, but it was surprisingly light. For mains, we went with the Confit Duck à l’Orange, Sirloin Steak Deluxe, and Côte Burger (the burger is not gluten-free). All three were flavorful, but the duck and steak were outstanding—if you’re reading this and planning a visit, I’d highly recommend those! On the side, we ordered Crispy Confit Potatoes and Green Salad. The salad was so fresh and delicious that we all agreed—next time, everyone’s getting their own! And yes, there will be a next time for sure. Now, let’s talk about the real stars of the night: the desserts. Whatever you do, don’t leave without trying one (or all) of them! We indulged in the Passion Fruit & Lime Leaf Crème Brûlée, Crème Caramel Royal, and Chocolate Mousse—each was so divine that we couldn’t pick a favorite. In fact, we’ve already decided that next time, we’re ordering them all again! A special shoutout to the lovely lady who greeted us at the door and the gentleman who served us—both were incredibly friendly and professional. The service was top-notch, making the entire evening even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for amazing food, excellent service, and a dining experience that’s worth every penny, Côte Quakers Friars is the place to be. Don’t miss it!

I am always moved by care. From that point it is atmosphere and food and drink. Then I am impressed by the continued attentiveness of teams and staff. This is an exceptional place for me. Reliable, soothing and high quality. I always know what I am getting. Maddie was an exceptional host to us. Super on the ball and couldn’t do enough for us.

We had a lovely time at Côte Brasserie Bristol. Our server, Ika, was polite, helpful, and incredibly patient with my one-year-old. Nothing was too much trouble. The service really made our visit special, and we felt very welcome. Thank you for a great experience!

Lovely food. Miss the green beans though, which we always used to order not being overly keen on broccoli. Phil and his staff were very attentive. We’ll be back.

The food is exceptional, very good. The big problem was the service, waiters mainly uninterested in taking your order, are not attentive at all… it’s a shame because the food is really good but the service lefts you with a bitter aftertaste.

We had a Baby and Nursery appointment with the help of lovely Louise! Louise was very informative and helpful when it came to narrowing down exactly which pram travel system was right for us! She listened to our wishes and priorities and was able to pick out some amazing options for us! Highly recommend this appointment for new parents!

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Peter for his help with our Sony TV. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly patient when explaining everything. It’s rare to come across someone who genuinely knows their stuff and takes the time to make sure you’re happy with the setup. – couldn’t be more pleased. Highly recommend Peter if you need any help with Sony TVs!

Found an item in the sale online that was only available to collect from store. Website advised two in Cribbs. Drove 30 miles to store not holding out much hope but the service and systems were excellent. Was helped by the lovely Margaret and Tony on the ground floor to locate the required basket which was in a stock room. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The basket had been reduced from £50 to £15! Excellent service excellent staff and excellent bargain 10/10 Thank you.

I placed an online order on the John Lewis website and everything went smoothly at first – payment authorization was successful and I even received my order number. However, just 10 minutes later I got an email saying that my order was cancelled due to “security reasons,” without any proper explanation or even an apology. This happened on the day of the iPhone preorders, which made it even more frustrating. On top of that, the customer service was extremely rude and unhelpful. Very poor experience – definitely not recommended.

I had a bra fitting appointment with my mum who is visually impaired. The two ladies that helped mum and I were absolutely fantastic, so caring and kind. I would highly recommend them. Thank you ladies so much.

Great store and service. Staff go above and beyond if you need any help. Great store to pass bit of time, have a wander round home, gifts, clothes electrical and furniture. You can always find something for someone in there!

I bought a Philips Hue smart hue lighting control system. This is intended as a means of switching lights on and off remotely, for example when on holiday. The Bridge doesn’t connect to the internet. It should automatically connect with the Hue site. It doesn’t. It is therefore useless. It is impossible to talk to a human being on the phone at John Lewis, instead you need to go through a labyrinthine number of options. I tried live chat which ended with “ I’m not qualified to advise on this”. I attempted to call Hue technical services and was met with a message “our lines are closed and this call will be disconnected”. Technical support is non existent and attempting to get through to anyone at John Lewis is impossible. After many years as a customer of JL, that relationship has ended. Avoid this product as well because it is simply not fit for purpose.

Papadeli has an excellent range of food on offer. Their cakes are out of this world and perhaps the best we have ever had. The chocolate celebration cake they baked for us was so good it elicited my toddler daughter's first ever sentence - "I liked it.".

Fantastic cookery school experience. Headed up by Simon and his team with so much knowledge and patience combined with a a love for excellent food and wine. I learnt so much and explored being more creative than at home with just a recipe . Highly recommend these events and look forward to joining another one soon . Thank you team Papadeli for the great evening.

Papadeli catered for our wedding in the summer. The food was incredible and so many of our guests said it was the best food they’d ever had at a wedding. The staff were brilliant on the day - very friendly and professional. We had a lot of guests there and it all went very smoothly, thanks to the organisation of the staff. Lou was a delight to deal with in the lead up; she was really helpful, transparent about costs, and quick to respond to queries. We had canapés followed by the feasting menu and then evening food later on - all were excellent. The portions were very generous and we severely regretted not bringing containers for the leftovers - the food was so delicious! We would definitely recommend them as caterers.

Papadeli provided the lunch and snacks for our annual event, and they were absolutely exceptional! From the very beginning, their communication was clear, responsive, and incredibly helpful. The team showed such care and attention to detail in everything they did – from the beautifully presented food to the thoughtful way they catered to a wide range of dietary requirements. Everything was seamless on the day, and the food was just delicious – fresh, vibrant, and so well received by our guests. We had fantastic feedback! It was an absolute pleasure working with Papadeli, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book them again. Thank you for helping make our event such a success!

Lou and the team and Papadeli were brilliant from start to finish in catering for my 40th birthday party. We had a full sit down lunch for 35 guests at home and it was perfect. Excellent communication and advice right from the start but most of all the food was incredible and everyone was very impressed. We will definitely be using again. Thank you team Papadeli x

Papadeli catered our wedding and everyone absolutely loved it! The food was of course delicious, beautifully presented with thoughtful menu options. The butternut squash in particular got rave reviews! Our friends with allergies commented on how well the team looked after them. Louise was just a dream to work with; organised, kind, and helpful throughout the whole process. Thank you Papadeli team!

Papadeli provided the catering for our wedding at The Observatory, and the food couldn’t have been more delicious and perfect for the occasion. It was an absolute delight dealing with them from the very start - thank you especially to Lou who was so responsive and helpful. It was so reassuring to know that this part of our wedding was in such safe hands, and everything was made so easy.

I feel a bad shopping experience in ZARA today, a white women at reception leave without any explanation when it turns me to pay bills. Instead, she change the other one to serve customer. Even if it cannot prove it is a different treatment for other race , it does count an impolite behavior in service industry.My suggestion is not coming to this store if you are international students, unless you can accept discrimination.There is no way to provide bad service but still want to earn money from you.

Most awful staff experience. Brand and clothes are great however whilst trying on clothes in the upstairs fitting rooms, my changing room was emptied and belongings were left on the side including own clothes phone and wallet - I left the room for no longer than 30 seconds to show my partner something I was trying on. No staff member helped although 5 were stood doing nothing and all refused to deal with the situation. Puts me off shopping in the store.

I consistently have great luck at this store. It's my first stop when I need a quick fashion fix or want to experiment with a new trend without breaking the bank. The styles are always current, and I appreciate that they offer a good range of sizes. I recently bought a blazer and a pair of tailored trousers here that look far more expensive than they were. The store is usually well-organized, and the checkout process is quick. While the quality can be hit-or-miss, you just have to be selective—check the seams and fabric content. For the price, it's absolutely fantastic. A solid 4.5 stars!

Absolutely abysmal service, zero hygiene, and total lack of organisation. Stuff is all over the place. The perfume section is a bacterial infection incubator. Probably the worst Zara store that I have ever been to.

Have visited this Zara store in Cabot circus twice in the last month (unfortunately!) as I had to return an item I purchased. On both occasions the queue was absolutely ridiculous, not because they were selling loads but because both times the two staff on tills were PAINFULLY slow. I waited 18 mins in the queue this time (similar to last time, queue is always dire) only to have the most rude miserable woman serve me, zero eye contact, I couldn’t hear her mumbling when she did speak eventually so she barked at me, gave me a dirty look and practically threw the bag at me. Interestingly, on the previous visit I made, while I was being served by a man who also worked at the speed of a tortoise with no communication, the customer on the till next to me made a point of commenting how rude and slow the staff are. As the clothes are very average, the store is a mess and the staff are horrendous, I’ll spend my money elsewhere. Looking at the other reviews of this store, so will all the other shoppers who have visited. Terrible.

ZARA’s complicity with Israel’s regime of oppression runs deeper still. In October 2022, Joey Schwebel, chair of Trimera Brands, ZARA’s Israeli franchisee, hosted a campaign event at his home for far-right Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. Ben-Gvir, who has openly called for the expulsion of Palestinians, the shooting of civilians, and the denial of humanitarian aid to Gaza, was cited in the International Court of Justice’s case, which found that Israel is plausibly committing genocide. Following the event, Ben-Gvir praised ZARA, tweeting: “ZARA, beautiful clothes, beautiful Israelis.”

Bought 5 shirts and 3 of them were wrongly priced (higher than stated). Only realised it after walking out the store, but the staff did the refund at the end. Make sure to check the final price as they might make mistakes putting on the sales prices

Went to the specialist watch shop. So very informative, knowledgeable and professional.

There's a wicked watch shop... And a lovely leveled up key cutting kiost with all sorts!

One. Of the oldest arcades before the war there were 2 in broadmead would have been lovely

Genuine independent people running private and useful, interesting, some unique businesses.

I liked it 😁😋!!! There are restaurants with cuisines from other countries in this place 🍽️🍗🍝🥘🌮🥙🍛☕🥮🍰

This is an arcade for independent shops though when I visited it it was very quiet and had little buzz. I suspect Covid and the restrictions have taken their toil. More so when you notice that both M&S and Debenhams have closed their doors. Shocking for a city size of Bristol.

I'm specifically mentioning The History of Video Games exhibition which was on the ground floor, it was excellent, housing loads of free to play retro games (once you purchased an entry ticket), shop and cafe all on the ground floor. Shopping centre itself was easy to find and has good amount of parking.

I visited your pharmacy at approximately 12:20 today, August 5th, to pick up my medication. I was very displeased with the service I received from the young Asian lady who served me. She was very rude in her dealings, and I noticed she had previously served an elderly lady and treated her the same way. I recommend that she receive customer service training and learn to communicate in a professional setting.

Boots is always a good choice if you need to do some cosmetic shopping or pick up quick medical essentials. This store was no different – we found exactly what we needed. Nicely laid out, very clean, and with super friendly staff.

Terrible pharmacy was one of 2 customers still took 20 mins to even acknowledge my presence. This at 9 am. Joke

Went to pick up my prescription. I was only person in the queue. Two ladies behind the counter. I waited. Then two ladies and a man behind the counter, I waited. Then three ladies and a man behind the counter, I still waited. Didn't even acknowledge I was there. Left and went home. Today, 07/09/3025 I received another text message saying that my prescription was still there to be collected. Boots did this the first time. Poor customer service, if you get any service at all. Won't be back.

No staff on shop floor. Only staff were those trying to sell smelly stuff. Couldn't find anyone to help find what I wanted so left empty handed. This is not the first time this has happened. Never been a fan of Boots and never will be. It's not just this store but all of them. Even when you do find a staff member for help it always seems too much for them to give good customer service. And before you do, don't expect me to phone your customer service about this issue. You should be reading these reviews and taking action not asking customers to further their anguish.

Lady staff named Gill was unfriendly. Chatting with colleagues while looking for my stuff. Not even a smile nor 'hiya' when I approached her. Not asking customer service ppl to kiss ass, but a decent manner will be much appreciated.

I stopped at Clinique counter to test their lipsticks while I was doing in front of their counter mirror , there was nobody and Asian Chinese staff was talking to her colleague and walking but as soon as she saw me she was stopped and looked up me strangely not just once a couple times so I asked her simple question why did she keep looking at me ? I felt uncomfortable and unpleasant since I was not doing anything in hidden or weird way . She was like no I am not looking up you and then , she talked to her colleague about me right in front of my face so I told them about what did happen? Her colleague told me this could be miscommunication and sorry so I accepted her saying and I said no worries and then I moved across their counter to see the mirror but she dragged security by was talking to him and pointed at me so I went in front of them asking what is happening since I saw you pointing at me ? She was like I was rude to her and asking like why did she looking at me ? Whole time , she was the one who was really rude toward me raising her voice , I told her don’t raise her voice and i can’t accept this type of rude behavior and attitude and I knew that Chinese staff can’t regulate nor control her emotions properly not just for professionalism so I talked to manger about how this was unacceptable service and behaviour of her. So I told manager that she can’t communicate properly and speak English really well so I knew I put it in wrong way but my intention was still right as I was pointed it out the truth as customer and the whole situation if she communicate me properly, this won’t gone further to this stage . All of them are like you can’t talk to her like that . Okay but they also witnessed that how she carried out her emotions and spoke toward me is acceptable??? I told them I can apologize to her if I put it in wrong way cuz I can take my responsibility but what I told was true as customer my experience and my opinions are valid and then she interrupted me with I am not their customer excuse me I was shopping at boots for long time compare to superdrug even though they are more cheaper. Only at that stage , her manager looked back at her , and told her something . But before that, the whole time while she was saying disrespectful stuff , she let her threw those words toward me. She said like she was not disputing your words , I were cautious about theft , but what did I do wrong here? I asked her to forward this case to take proper action but what she said was she will look up at CCTV and talked to her and gave training to her ??? She is far far away from acting professional at her job and only this ? I am telling she has lots of attitude or confidence like she was not bother of the outcomes of her actions !!! Manager told me they are not boots staff but they are Clinique staffs which I knew but they are also still working under boots right and I told her again about her actions since I felt that manager was not on my side as I was kept saying I was going circle and rushing up her sayings cuz I even have to asked her to let me spoke like what ?? so I was disbelief and disappointed about it and told her I can’t believe boots service is really low . I will never ever shop at boots ever again .

Called in here to day and it will be the last time I use this shop had my grandson in a pram and called in to the h m home wear picked up Plates and cups and was told there was no one on the till has this rude assistant said she was learning and couldn’t open up the till she then said you have to go to the clothes store so I said do I walk out with All this then because if I have to pay at clothes store there are steps and I won’t be able to get the pram up or down them

I'm thrilled to share my positive experience with H&M! The store's wide variety of stylish and affordable clothing options impressed me. The staff was friendly and helpful, making my shopping experience enjoyable. The convenient location and organized layout of the store made finding items a breeze. I'll definitely be returning for my future fashion needs. Highly recommended!

Excellent vibes and incredible help from the handsome kinda short dark haired sales assistant in home, no other H&M has someone quite like them and they helped me out so much

Fed up of waiting. Too many closed self-service tills, not enough team at other till. I want to support high-street but it's been like this all 3 recent visits.

It reopens today (Cabot circus) and there were good crowd. The staff are friendly, there are good selection of baby, toddler / young children clothings on the top level. There is a small corner for children - to colour on books and papers. Rmb to join member for discount.

Visited the store on Saturday and purchased a £17 jacket. Paid via Apple Pay and got the notification on my phone to tell me I had paid, as I was leaving the store the worker on the self checkout accused me of not paying for the jacket and saying the payment aborted. I went back to the tills where the man very rudely explained that their tills had been going down and payments had been being rejected! He then made me pay again, with a second payment coming out. He told me only one payment would go through. 4 days later, I have been charged twice, living no where near to Bristol I cannot come into store to show my receipt. Shocking behaviour, one to be accused of stealing and being spoken to like a child and two, letting customers pay on tills that are known to be faulty. I wonder how many other customers have been charged double amounts. We all work hard for our money and I’m sad that I’m now at a loss.

Good selection but needs loads more changing rooms. Always have to wait for ages.

Definitely 5 stars for Bristol Res lettings!! We had a great experience working with Ryan during my recent property viewing in BS10. He was incredibly helpful throughout the process, provided clear guidance, answered all our questions with patience, and shared honest insights about the property and the surrounding area. His attention to detail and genuine interest in helping us find the right rental made the experience smooth and stress-free. I especially appreciated how responsive and organized he was, making sure everything went according to schedule.

I highly recommend Bristol Residential Letting only while in Bristol. Ryan helped us see and land the apartment and Amy took care of us during the whole stay. I wanted to thank Amy specifically for the excellent work. Everything was very well organized and what a great communication. We were always kept well informed about anything happening in the building etc and all our needs have been met at top level. Thanks once again for an amazing job, Aurica

Bristol Residential Lettings offered excellent service, and Katherine from their team was especially helpful and professional. She played a key role in arranging the viewing and helping to secure the flat. The friendly and supportive attitude, along with clear communication, made the whole process easy and stress-free. The efforts were truly appreciated and showed the agency’s strong commitment to providing a great experience.

I had a great experience working with Ryan as our letting agent. He was consistently helpful, responsive, and proactive in addressing any questions we had. The entire process felt smooth and stress-free thanks to his efficiency and willingness to check in regularly. Would recommend Bristol Residential Lettings.

We had a great experience throughout our letting application process. Holly, our letting negotiator, was incredibly professional, approachable, and efficient at every stage. She made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless and straightforward. David, the tenancy manager, was equally professional, ensuring that all aspects of the tenancy setup were handled quickly and with ease. Communication was prompt, clear, and very helpful. Thanks to Holly and David, the entire application ran smoothly from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for a better team to guide us through the process. Highly recommend!

Great experience with Ryan as an agent. Fuss free, really helpful, quick with responses and most importantly helped to secure the rental property I was incredibly keen on. He also met me at the front of the property I was viewing before I could even let him know I'd arrived early! Highly recommend.

Great initial experience with this company. I met with Kat for a viewing who was very friendly and informative about the property. She invited questions and took landlord specific questions to them. After phoning up to move forward with an application, they returned a call within 5 minutes to say the landlord accepted and we could move forward, and 5 minutes after that I had an email detailed all the relevant information, as well as what is needed from me. Looking forward to working with them during my tenancy after a professional and friendly first experience.

Honestly the best massage I have ever had. Holly absolutely did it for me and my recently dislocated shoulders. She was very polite and professional. Very quick to understand my needs and adapt to them without having spoken previously about them. I used to have massages regularly as a professional fighter but not even close to how I felt after a massage with Holly.

I had a fabulous massage with Katy E yesterday - highly recommended. Katy listened & adjusted the pressure perfectly for me & worked on my head & shoulders in such an intuitive, flowing way that I felt incredibly relaxed. I left feeling rejuvenated & very peaceful. Katy worked fully for the whole hour using her arms & hands in strong, flowing movements all over my body - pure bliss! And many thanks, Katy :)

Had such a lovely 60 min massage this weekend with MT Katy E. Katy listened to everything I said and really took my requests into account during the massage. The entire staff were very good and responded quickly to my communications. My only note would be that I would have loved a place to sit for maybe 5-10 minutes after the massage, it was just a tiny bit jarring to finish then immediately have to leave and go out into the noise and sunshine. Took me out of the relaxed state I had been in. If I could give a 4.99 I would, but sadly I can’t. Thank you!

I had a Sports/Remedial massage with Indre, I had lots of upper body tension and had slightly pulled my lower back during weight training so wanted to work into those areas particularly. Indre was thorough in her assessment before we began and came across as very knowledgeable and properly cautious of any potential pain points. I was amazed at the massage, I’ve had maybe 5 or 6 other sports massages before and this was by far the best. At no point was it painful - which from my previous sports massage I had kind of assumed was the norm! - it was very deep tissue and targeted. I was so relaxed that I fell asleep half way through and woke up feeling deeply relaxed, rested and as though all the knots had been worked through. Indre gave me some helpful suggestions for stretching after weight training. I feel like a new woman today. I’ll definitely be back, such a lovely experience from the moment I booked to the massage itself. Thank you 🙏🏼

Fantastic service all round. Instructions before the appointment were very clear and easy to follow. Wonderful interaction to discuss how the massage would go and then the massage begins. This was my first time having a massage and my masseuse made me feel comfortable immediately. I will be back and I highly recommend :)

I had a MAGICAL full-body massage with Mary. She seemed to know exactly what my body needed to relax and release and I enjoyed melting in her hands. It was incredible and I’d highly recommend it to anyone feeling stressed or tense or in need of letting go. Thank you so much Mary x

Rupali is an amazing masseuse - the very best. She gave me an outstanding massage and facial and was the ultimate professional. I will most certainly recommend Loop to all my friends and I will be back soon to spend another 90 minutes being thoroughly pampered. I was walking on air for the rest of the day!!!!

I recently visited the Prior shop for the first time - and loved it! So many great items: locally-made, hand-made, individually designed. I bought a perfect Christmas gift and decided to order one of the Large Globe Bulbs online. I made a mistake when ordering but Beck and her colleagues sorted it out quickly and cheerfully: such great service, even at this busiest time of year. The item itself is beautiful - thanks Prior Shop.

Bought some lovely jewellery for my wife's birthday. Lots of beautifully designed things by independent makers - not just jewellery! - and great to have a shop like this with a great ethos on my local high street.

My absolute go to for any birthday gifts, work leaving pressies or treats for myself. Everything is made my independent makers with sustainability at the heart of their work which makes anything you buy even more special. The shop team are so friendly, def have a chat to them about what they're trying to do in the middle of Cabot Circus surrounded by the global chain giants. You won't find mass produced poor quality in PRIOR. Give yourself plenty of time to spend looking at everything. I lose time in this place!

Made an online order and arranged to pick up in store. All went smoothly and the item is just as described. It is a gorgeous shop. So good to see an independent store in a city centre. Thank you.

I ordered online for Christmas and was very impressed with how my breakable items were wrapped! No plastic waste and the condition of my items were perfect, I will definitely be shopping here again. Loved supporting this business and local makers!

I love shopping at Prior, it feels great to support local creatives, and the products are great quality.

Gorgeous shop filled with beautiful ceremics, candles, cacti, clothes and even skincare! Staff were super friendly and helpful, can't wait to visit again!

Had an order of 24 bottles put together and delivered to my flat. Excellent and friendly service. All the wines have been great so far

Truthfully one of the best pubs I’ve been in. The staff are fantastic and the food is brilliant. Me and my mum tried the Glamorganshire sausages. Could’ve had 12 portions. The beer is local, crisp and brilliant. If you come to Bristol you needs to come here!

A great range of wines, spirits, beers and coffee beans. Really knowledgeable, friendly staff. Happy to deliver cases of wine and create a case for you. Good value and much more interesting drinks than in the supermarket

Nice selection but terrible customer service. Guy behind the counter was too busy chatting to his friends to even acknowledge our presence. Didn’t say a word to us, just dropped card machine on the counter and handed us our stuff

Never been left wanting with wine bought here. Great advice on wines and a fantastic range of wines and drinks. Excellent service over a good few years since my daughter, fortunately, went to live near the shop. None better.

Came in on 30.11 before going for lunch in a restaurant nearby with the intention to come after and buy some wine. The gentleman behind the counter did not even lifted his eyes to greet us let alone to offer any assistance with the choice. After lunch I came back to buy a few bottles and the attitude was the same - no greeting, no basic customer interaction. When I had to pay I presented my card on the screen of the machine but the gent just tapped with his finger on the top as the reader was there. No bye, have a nice day, enjoy the wines. ( no other people in the shop ). Anyway, looking at previous reviews maybe its just me expecting some sort of service when walking in a place like that. The prices were good, the wines were good but because of this attitude I will not be back. There are other merchants around Bristol and the area where the staff will be happy to greet you with a smile, speak with you and offer help with the choice ( which for me means more than a bottle of wine to be a few pounds cheaper ).

It is always good to witness someone who is really good at what they do. The advice that Grape and Grind gives has been first class. They take time to understand what you want, what you enjoy and want to pay. It is a beautiful shop and really looks after you as a customer. I am now getting a box of wine every three months and each choice is a real winner. I highly recommend this wine merchant and the advice they give. Not at all pretentious and a real pleasure to deal with.

Gorgeous store, lovely selection of homeware and gorgeous smelling things! Easy to get my mum and birthday present here :) A little pricey, but for the location and the type of store this is, it's a little more luxury. Look forward to the Christmas bits!

A lamp I bought broke within a few weeks and the company have not got back in touch to send out a replacement (after initially promising to before Christmas). I'd love to hear back :).

Love this shop whenever I am in Bristol. Please open a store in Brighton! It would go down so well!

Cute little shop with plenty to choose from. We were not acknowledged by staff members at any point, felt quite unwelcoming

Well , what a fantastic place .Went there yesterday for lunch with the family ,who come here on a regular basis. What can I say but the best bacon sandwich I have ever tasted .Staff were lovely and friendly.

One of my favourite shops in Bristol, beautiful items, plants and really friendly service. I recently ordered a few bits to be delivered for a friend's birthday present and the team did an amazing job. Wrapping the items beautifully and writing a lovely message in the card. I really appreciate this and so did my friend!

Really nice vibes and styles there. Always smells good, plants books and more, what’s not to love? I gave my mum a wreath making magazine from here for Christmas and she loved it which was a real bonus.

I’m sorry to say that it is the messiest shop on North St and spreads itself out on to the pavement and multiple parking spaces daily. A real eye sore and awkward to navigate past with a pushchair. I would not buy food and eat what I had seen on the floor and in the road, especially at those prices. The owner is parked up on double yellows and their shop van or hire van can be seen taking up multiple spaces while they spend hours allegedly unloading. As a local I see it as a real let down on the surrounding shops. Imagine if all the shops spilled out in this way it would be chaos!

Really disappointed. There's usually such a lovely flower selection, but the bouquet I bought was overpriced and had very poor quality. On top of that the customer service was awful.

I bought an overpriced burrata a few days ago (over £5 for a small 250g burrata) and to my great disappointment it was acidic/ sour and it was not creamy inside, as it is supposed to be but lumpy and dry. Unfortunately, I only realised it when I had already put in a rather elaborate dish of pasta otherwise, I would have certainly taken it back to the store. Needless to say my dish was ruined. I am leaving a 2 star review not only for this poor experience I had, but because their products are way overpriced.

The staff are lovely however that is where the positives end. Eg: A Too Good To Go box, which yes is things that needed to sell that day and haven't so you expect a lower standard, but should be too good to be binned - this box was split, completely wilted, rotting produce which should have been binned throughout the day. It concerns me what is going on in the day to day activity to try and increase profit with a lack of concern for what's going out.

I love the product quality, a bit overpriced comparing to Tobacco Factory shop or Better Foodo but well, you can also find different things at Hugo's. BUT Every time I buy there, really, ALWAYS, I am charged more than the labels mark, and as example today: I needed tomato for cooking, the beef tomatoes were ripe but the price £4'50 kg, so all good then, I picked a big one. When I went to pay I was pending on the grams for my previous experience. The tomato was around 300grams and they guys said that it was £2'5.. I said, but the label marks £4'50, why is £2'5? Is answer was: 'oh sorry, I forgot to put the label for those tomatoes, that price is for the tomatoes next to beef ones'. The label said 'Beef tomatoes'!! Come one! You think people are silly and don't know what is a beef tomato? Is upsetting what they do.. because the fruits and vegs are good but doing these things...

Hugo and the team were friendly and welcoming. All produce fresh.

Great produce, great staff!

Simply one of the best vintage shops out there!! Absolutely love this place. The staff are so friendly. The clothing is so exciting you can find so many unique pieces at this store. If you are going to Bristol make sure you visit!

Stopped in a week ago and bought a new shirt. The clothing all through the shop looked to be good quality, the window display was attention grabbing and really well put together, the music in the shop itself was audible without being overwhelming, and the whole place was well lit so you could see what everything looks like properly. The staff were also really easy to approach and talk to as well. I'd absolutely think about going back again in the future to get more!

Absolutely brilliant place. I went for the first time a week ago and loved it. The range of vintage wear is incredible, I love that you're getting something completely unique. The staff were also really lovely, they explained how it all worked and even made suggestions when I was being my usual indecisive self! I'll 100% be back - thanks!

So nice to see a permanent vintage kilo sale! At £12 per kilo you can't go wrong. There's such an impressive range of clothing. Would highly recommend to any vintage lover 😁 Not to mention the really friendly staff who are happy to help

Recently this Loot store location has converted to weight vs per cost per item. This is fantastic as there can be some real deals, my partner got 10 dresses for £12! The fabric was amazing and it fits her great, the main store has moved to Park Street.

been to quite a few vintage shops but this has to be my favourite in Bristol! Staff were ace and they have a prolific range of quality items from basics, bespoke re-makes (which are so current and fashionable), gorgeous accessories to amazing vintage coats. Always guaranteed to get something unique and interesting!....look forward to my next visit.

Lots of choice of vintage goodies, some one off pieces and redone vintage classics, very friendly staff, customer service is brilliant. If your looking for cool and unique this is your place. Aladdin’s cave! Great added Touch is that if you need things amending they do alterations for you too! Happy days.

Absolutely wonderful morning spent glass blowing. We took our two children 9 and 7 and we all really enjoyed the experience. Alex was a wonderful, very knowledgeable and very happy to go above and beyond answering all our questions about his personal interests of glass and the history of glass blowing. Highly recommend and already have another friend booking to being her son. Thank you and we cannot wait to see our baubles!!

I approached Bristol Blue Glass looking for 4 custom memorial pieces; two palm stones of different sizes, and two small beads that will be made in to rings. They were prompt and compassionate throughout the whole process and very flexible with my requests. I ended up choosing to not include the dichroic glass pieces and chose the clear teal colour, they ended up looking like miniature oceans, so beautiful. Georgina was very kind when I visited the studio showing me the process and what would happen with the ashes, and they were very accommodating for me dropping them off in person. I couldn't recommend this service enough, thank you so much!

We did a bauble making glass blowing thing here. It was superbly entertaining. The 2 guys who were doing the glass making were not only knowledgeable but friendly and funny as well as clearly skilled in their art. Everyone was really friendly. Collected the baubles today and they look great.

The people, the artisans, the love and pride, it all radiates it such a lovely and friendly place with some of the most beautiful glass, and the signature blue is just gorgeous!! Always such an absolute treat and pleasure to get to support a business like this and to have such a precious piece! If you're in Bristol and want an amazing keepsake, gift, or absolutely brilliant functional piece, THIS IS A MUST STOP!! 💕💙

Just popped into Bristol Blue Glass whilst driving back from Bristol. Didn’t know what to expect but we were popped downstairs to watch some glassblowing then had had an amazing bauble blowing experience. At first my youngest was a little nervous, but now he’s grinning with a real sense of achievement. Great for the kids (and the adults). We learned so much and felt so welcomed. Would highly recommend. My daughter is already planning a return to make a Halloween pumpkin 🎃! Can’t wait to pick up the baubles. Thank you!

Brilliant firm to deal with, had a memorial piece made. Excellent customer service from start to finish, can't praise them enough, thank you. Beautiful paperweight. Could recommend to anyone. Five star service.

This lovely glass making shop, where you can make your own glass bauble or watch things being skillfully made in the workshop, has a wide ranging selection from tiny glass animals to large jugs and vases. Glassmaking explained in detail and questions answered. Very friendly including the neighbours cat that likes to hang around in the heat from the furnaces.

I tried to return an Item but Steve the MD is a totally unreasonable man. I was met with a stone wall. He managed to wriggle out of taking an item back by complaining that it wasn't in original condition when it clearly was. He just wanted to keep his sale and totally failed to make a long time customer happy or stick to his legal obligation. Not a nice experience at all.. Looking at the other reviews, there seems to be a trend here.. Furthermore, the store can't even open on time. They seem to make so much money from their over priced products that they don't care about service.

Avoid this store- Really disappointing experience. Ordered a pair of trainers from Cooshti , they arrived with a stain. I sent them back (at my own cost) and asked for a refund. Heard nothing back, so I chased it up and was told they’d processed it. That was over 20 days ago, still no refund, no email confirmation and nothing showing in my bank of such refund pending. They blame a “new system,” but there’s zero evidence of any refund being made and my calls to the manager were never returned. It’s a shame because I like to support independent stores. Looking at other reviews, it seems I’m not alone. Save yourself the hassle — shop elsewhere.

Terrible experience shopping with this outfit, used Royal Mail to dump their parcel on my doorstep during the day which subsequently went missing after being left in full view for the majority of my working day. Once I contacted Cooshti I had to wait for someone with authority to contact me which became frustrating and I contacted my card issuer as they were messing me around. Then they had the audacity to challenge my card issuers refund, which I can only think that they want to frustrate me obtaining my refund which is totally disgusting. Avoid this clown shop at all costs 🤡

Super slow to follow up, been trying to get my refund processed for weeks. Called their office and they said this would be done and then silence, zero follow ups.

On a quiet Saturday morning, I Bought a lovely bag that had an upper price point. Unfortunately the two people working had a laxadasical, unfriendly attitude, presenting rudely with zero manners and poor customer service. The young man behind the main desk till threw down my new bag, and when I said I hoped it wasn't scratched, he scoffed at me and didn't say sorry, flung the receipt at me and didn't say thank-you after I paid. Very disappointing when this shop has been here for years. I used to work in retail so I understand the challenges the public can bring you but I was polite from outset and expecting the very least courteous responses in return. What a shame.

Cool clothing and bloke at the till was pretty chill.

After buying from them many times (spending alot of money!) I contacted them when the stitching on a pair of sweatpants was undoing on both pockets. I requested a refund or exchange but they refused as I reported the issue on 21st March and had purchased in November. Going over the 12 week return time. I did comment that they were a Christmas present so hadn't been worn for long but they were not interested. They said I could return for repair or have a refund of £18 towards repair costs. I requested the refund and haven't heard from them since. They have previously only responded to my chaser emails. They have lost a customer but , unfortunately, I don't think they're bothered.

The Bristol branch is a bright and well laid out store. The products are vast and enticing. A big and heartfelt shout out to Ethan. His demeanor was calm and well informed. I explained that I was recovering from a life changing illness and had lost my confidence in deciding on my choices, but that i am embracing the opportunity to explore changes in clothing and styles. I love the the Carhartt brand and cuts. To have had Ethan guide me was an exceptional retail experience . Thank you !

Really good store. Had everything I wanted in loads of sizes. Sometimes it’s better to try things on rather than order online. Pleased I live near this store. Staff are always really nice.

Great service, really nice store. Special shoutout to Kyle for his attention and customer service. Great experience.

Friendly service and long lasting products. Despite popping in just before closing, I was able to find what I was looking for without being rushed. Recommend.

Great store, loads of stock and super helpful staff. Thanks to Lou for making the visit extra special and helping with our purchase

Alex & Ethan, You guys are awesome I fully appreciate both your time effort & advice in store again today. Kyle you & the team always go that extra mile so thank you. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great selection and friendly staff. Lou was super helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Great experience 😊

Tastefully laid out independent little shop with a great array of interesting quality products, including nods to Bristol here and there which is nice to see. I’ve made a couple of purchases now, both times served by the same lady who was friendly and interested in her customers so worth a couple of minutes of my time to review. If I say ‘Socks’ you know who you are! They also have a much larger and equally well presented shop in central Bristol which I’d also recommend visiting.

Brilliant shop with an amazing ethos! The owner is really lovely and we had a conversation about the arts and how undervalued they are. The products are gorgeous, there are a wide variety of products to look at, definitely a shop to visit when you need a gift for someone! I recommend visiting here! Oh and very wheelchair accessible! I looked around here with ease in my wheelchair!

Lovely little shop! Wide range of cute little bits and the member of staff working was lovely and friendly, he was very knowledgeable about the products for sale and helpful.

My experience at the bristol store today will always be treasured. I walked in looking to treat myself following a operation for a cochlear which has been very difficult. I was browsing the jewelry and the man behind the til, opened the glass cabinet for me and started to sign! Bsl. I am not fluent myself but it was a wonderful moment of someone genuinely making effort to interact with me to discuss the gorgeous items I was looking at. He gave me some lovely info- all with droplets of BSl and a genuinely lovely intention of sharing the products. I was so touched. I then thought wow lovely guy .. went to the back of the store where working away were two other colleagues.. they both spoke to me about things I was looking at and managed to find an item I requested that wasn't on shop floor! Honestly it was just the best experience all day. I felt appreciated as a customer and I shall treasure my purchases both in shop and online and will be a loyal customer now. Thank you for making my day of beeps brighter x

What a lovely shop! An Aladdin's cave packed full of pickupable delights. There's a great range of cards, gifts and some really lovely kitchen/homewares. LUSH! I love it. There's also a website (with loads of great deals) so I can do my shopping at home and pick it up in store. It's a real find.

Superman has Kryptonite. I have shops like Fig1. Why is this trinkets shop so good? Quality and choice. You’ll find British produce amongst the awesome range. Keep a close eye on your bank balance when you leave.

My absolute favourite shop in Bristol where I buy most Christmas presents/gifts from Fig1. The products are gorgeous, all the staff are lovely and the customer service/whole experience is first class. I adore this place as I think it's a shining example of retail perfection. Highly recommend it as a must-visit.

Thoroughly enjoyed it here really inviting atmosphere and very helpful and friendly staff the scone was beautiful and the chutney with gin was verry nice mum enjoyed her toasty and that came with sald and crisps overall id deffently come here again.

Lovely selection of teas, sandwiches and cakes. Cater to vegetarian/vegans and GF. Great afternoon treat!

This was my second visit but I was so disappointed. First visit was fabulous but after this visit I won't be visiting again. I was with my family in a party of five. Three of us ordered Lilly's afternoon tea. When it arrived we assumed it was for two of us but we're told it was between three of us. Although there were 5 triangles of sandwiches each, the fillings were sparce, not very exciting and very predictable, two being cheese, one ham, one egg and one tuna. There was one scone each which was very cake-like with plenty of jam and cream. The biggest disappointment for all of us were the cakes on the top layer. Last time we came we had delicious whole slices of cakes and some whole tarts. This time it was very small bite size pieces of cake and a small square tray bake and only three each. For the price we paid we felt let down. I did recommend Cox and Baloney to a friend before my visit but now i will not be recommending especially when there are so many other venues for afternoon tea which offer better value for money. The vintage shop next door has also now gone. What a shame. Reading the other reviews, I am not alone in my disappointment with the cakes. Come on Cox and Baloney, you can do better than this.

I love going to Cox and Baloney's and today I took my children for afternoon tea. We felt quite spoilt with the level of attentiveness, it's not easy to please an eight year old boy and two seventeen year old young ladies when it comes to a place to eat! There was a great selection of drinks, sandwiches and cakes which were beautifully presented. My daughters are very impressed with the decor, as am I. When we left all three of my children asked when we are going back! Five stars from the Woods family!

This is a posh yet welcoming and stunningly beautiful tearoom. It posesseses a quaint and kitsch atmosphere with effectively selected music. The staff are over the top with their friendliness, but this is not necessarily a bad thing; the teaware is cute and so far on my visits I've enjoyed delicious olives, a lovely selection of bread, a tasty toastie and crisps. They're always extremely busy so a booking is recommended if you want anything more than tea on the weekend. Cox impress with their individualised table service - I was even invited to smell the teas before ordering so I could be doubly sure about my choice. There are plenty of waiting and kitchen staff (the kitchen is open by the way), and they do well to cope with the stressfully large amount of customers. There is also a private party room downstairs which seems quite popular, and some outdoor seating. Prices are slightly above the average but not pretentiously extravagant. I would recommend this establishment.

The venue is lovely and a novelty for sure. The service however is much to be desired. I've visited twice, once with my Mum and once with friends. When I went with my Mum there was about 3 other people in the entire cafe and we waited for around 40mins for the high tea to arrive... we were pleased when it did and the food was lovely. When we asked for the bill we ended up going to the till as it seemed to completely slipped through the net and we were on a bit of a schedule. When I visited with friends we waited about 30 mins for our drinks to arrive and then we ordered food. This was a 40-50 minute wait, we asked to share 1 mezze plate and then 2 arrived and it had 2-3 items missing from what was advertised on the menu so we had to send it back. Following this we asked for cream teas and this took another 20-30minutes. When the bill arrived we were charged for 2 mezze plates due to a mis-communication between staff and there was a slight confusion on what had happened so that was another 10 minutes delay. To round it off one of the cards was charged £10 more than what was the equal split on the bill, which was specified to the waitress (though she was very apologetic and it was clearly a human error). The novelty of the venue and the quirky cocktails in a teapot is the best thing about this place. The food also is very good, but the service is its biggest let down.... if you have time to kill (i.e an entire afternoon) I would highly recommend but if having a 'express lunch' would avoid.

I don't normally do reviews but felt compelled to on this occasion because of the very slow service. Cox and Baloney have a lovely set up on Cheltenham Road, I like the quirky interior and the idea of tea and cake served in an old fashioned way. Lots of choices of tea, "Lady's garden" made me chuckle and lots of cakes to choose from. We were a large party of 12 and most of us had pre-ordered over the phone so we thought things would run smoothly and that our orders might have been prepared in advance. However our orders came out in dribs and drabs very slowly. My cheese plater eventually arrived a long time after my pot of tea, this was 3 reasonable sized chunks of cheese, salad and chutney but no crackers. I checked the menu to find that the platter would eventually be accompanied by toast, this is different to the website that mentioned crackers!! Crackers would have been better and easier to prepare and serve, perhaps a time saving tip for the manager. Never had a cheese plater with toast before or had to wait so long I also noticed toast going to other tables who had arrived after us. Another person on our table asked for a cream tea, after a long wait came the tea, then after a long wait came the scone, then after a long wait came the cream then after a long wait came the jam. Exasperating!! The waiter and waitress were nice enough but they had too much to do and were disorganised. One of my friends sorted out the bill so I am not sure if the scone and tea that I was not charged for were on the house as a way of apology or just disorganisation again and I hope we didn't pay the service charge. So in summary the service was so poor and the wait was so long that I will not be going back. There are plenty more coffee shops to try, might try a brewery or a brothel to see if they are more organised:)

One of the best bookshops I've visited. Interesting books, well priced and extremely helpful staff. Worth a look, always.

I ordered a specific, difficult to find, volume of the Victoria History of Wiltshire on Thursday from Dreadnought books through their Abe Books listing. It was a very fair price and it arrived speedily the following Monday, it was well packed and the condition exactly as described. I will definitely “bookmark” Dreadnought books! Thank you.

A firm favourite, fantastic selection all around, I'm a particular fan of the history section.

Best value second hand bookshop in Bristol. Always interesting stock and good prices, owner is really nice too.

Nice shop, good prices, cute cat

I stumbled on this shop on a wander around the city. 30mins later I had bought 3 awesome books on huna. The owner was extremely polite and helpful. Will definitely visit again.

A great selection of ancient history and classics. Local history sources well represented, too. Poetry shelves well supplied, and the drama and screenplay section has some interesting titles. Overall, a well supplied second hand bookshop with a very friendly owner. And, if you're lucky, and sitting quietly, Creams, his kitten, may grace you by sitting in your lap :)

Great shop with bargains and nothing overpriced! It is all genuine and will last longer than anything through fast fashion. Don’t shop online which kills our communities, support local shops like this!

A wonderful shopping experience. I purchased online and the whole process was perfect. The staff were very friendly, helpful and obliging. I found a really interesting and rare selection of products, at very reasonable prices and with thorough descriptions. Postage was free and efficient, with great environmentally friendly packaging.

Downstairs in this retro clothes shop is yet another one of Gloucester Road's great little record shops. Just like the best type of book shop, this record shop has made use of absolutely every flat surface including boxes on the floor. Space is limited in here and it only takes half a dozen people to make it seem crowded, but I have found some absolute gems in here, in excellent condition at prices that made me happy. :-)

Great constantly changing stock in both the clothing and the Record shop downstairs, friendly and helpful staff willing to go the extra mile for you if it's within reason! ) Been shopping here for over a decade and while keeping fresh and interesting it hasn't changed the feel or eye for quality stock. If you only check out one shop on Gloucester road it should be this one! ) (Or the sweet shop next door towards the arches)

Amazing 3 floors of vintage stuff

Great place for vintage clothing , massive selection of all types of stuff , jeans , shirts, leather jackets all types of funky stuff and friendly staff too , make the journey and check them out .

Touch expensive but has an AMAZING range of fresh garms. Great for fancy dress too.

This is a fantastic store, they carry a nice mix of brands, and a carefully chosen range of clothes and footwear. More importantly the customer service was outstanding, the staff were all so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you!

Easily the best clothes shop in Bristol. The staff are very helpful and friendly too.

Fantastic clothes shop. High quality brands at good prices.

I have only used their online shop but the quality of clothes and the service was great. Placed an order, wanted to check something after the fact so I emailed Maze, got a reply, received my goods about a week later (I live in Ireland) in perfect condition. They do some great offers during their sales too.

The sales assistant was helpful, efficient and kind.

Fantastic service and product range from a handful of thoughtfully selected brands. After ordering a pair of jeans online, I received them almost instantly and they were accompanied by a little, hand-written thank you card which is what prompted me to write this review. I think little touches like that really speak volumes about a business. Will 100% look to use Maze again in the future.

Lovely selection of (lesser known) designer brands and friendly knowledgeable staff. They lose points however for not carrying any sizes smaller than medium in their menswear collection. I'm afraid they have missed out on sales due to this fact. I asked whether items could be ordered in (small size) to which I was told unfortunately not.

Had some beautiful Wildgrove Hand Cream, and the Bath & Meditation Bundle given to me as a present for my birthday. The smell is divine, the wrapping was sustainable and the thought that my gifts are supporting a small independent business just adds to the wonderful, overall experience. Thank You

One of my absolute favourite shops in Bristol, I always make an effort to pop in whenever I'm visiting. Such a beautiful curation of independent designers and I am DYING to book onto a shoe making course! Highly recommend.

Independent shops are the best. This place is filled up with beautiful pieces. The quality and the story behind each clothes is great. Found the perfect jacket today! Can’t wait to wear it.

I absolutely love my fitted boots!! Thank you. Exceeds all expectations. A top quality item - made with a lot of love and care! Worth every penny :)

Awesome shop with fantastic shoes alongside an amazing selection of wares from independent designers and makers. Beautiful, unique and carefully curated by lovely people. A must visit in Bristol!!

A truly unique, and wonderfully curated space! Every brand is considered, engaging and contributes to a greater story about how we can better invest our money in smaller, ethical brands. An inspiring one stop shop Xx

This shop is such a jewel. We were so happy to stumble across it and found such a beautifully curated collection of handmade treasures. Highly recommend checking it out!

Lovely store but quite underwhelmed with my last purchase. I bought a lemon grass room spray for £12 but its basically useless as the smell dissolves after the initial sprays that would linger for ab 10 seconds max. I could've spent the same on a yankee candle and gotten a lot more out of it. I feel scammed.

Such a gem of a shop on old market! The selection of products from local and independent makers is just amazing. Perfect for gifts and they always have a beautiful section of cards too! Super friendly staff too (and if you go on the right day you might meet the super friendly fluffy doggo Bill that’s sometimes there!). 100 percent worth checking out if you are visiting Bristol too 💯

I love this shop! Its beautifully curated with lots of amazing artists and creatives - all in one place! Its also a studio space too which is great to have in the area - a hub of activity. Definitely a place to put on your shopping map. Staff are very welcoming and friendly too.

Great indie shop a stones throw from the city centre. Amazing choice of handmade goods and staff are full of smiles. A really brilliant place to visit. See you again soon!

Wonderful products from independent sellers you don’t really get anywhere else. Perfect for gifts especially if you’re hoping to get everything done in one shop as I often am... A-star service too :)

Really nice shop, full of interesting, funny and eco products. I went in to buy a present for my sister and ending up getting loads of bits for xmas gifts. Skincare, clothes, earrings, cards, everything!

Enquired whether a plant came with a pot and was met with a very obnoxious, sarcastic comment that was uncalled for and unnecessary. If a customer makes an enquiry a simple yes or no answer would suffice. Due to this terrible experience I will not be buying anything from this store. What a shame, as they did have some lovely things albeit rather over priced.

Lovely boutique with pre-loved designer clothes - some still with tags on! At very realistic prices. Staff are always super friendly and I always feel really welcome. It’s also great that they get new stock each day so it always feels a new and exciting!

I’m so happy to have found this wonderful shop for preloved clothing and accessories. I took in some items to sell and had great service, clear terms and conditions and finally could happily part with some of my much loved but unworn clothing knowing the pieces would be used again. Will definitely be going back to buy as well as sell

I visited this boutique with my small, well-behaved dachshund, and unfortunately, as soon as I stepped in, I was told quite abruptly that dogs are not allowed. There was no sign indicating this policy, which could save customers the inconvenience. It’s disappointing because I was ready to purchase a pair of boots that I had seen in the window, and I believe they’re missing out on potential customers, especially in a dog-friendly city like Bristol. Hopefully, they’ll consider updating their policies or at least making them clear to future visitors.

Another successful visit to Rag Trade. I love the additions to my wardrobe, with labels and ideas I will use and reuse. Plus... I get to recycle items from my wardrobe. All done with a warm, friendly catch up. Sustainability at its best. Love it!
