Zara’s Chocolates

Billings & Briggs
Available online from locations around Bristol including No. 25A Old Market

Laura Hart
Bottles and Books
356 Gloucester Road, Horfield, Bristol, BS7 8TP

Duncan Lee
Southville Deli

“Bristol has some great food shops and this is one of the best. You can stock up on staples as well as treats, and much of the cheese, beer and even chocolate is from local producers.”

“All their jam is made from their kitchen in Knowle using surplus that would otherwise go to landfill. Plus it’s delicious!”
