Eggleton said: “Being able to take this project into the autumn is a massive boost for the Bristol hospitality scene.
“As we move into possibly the most critical time of the year so far, it enables us to keep over 50 staff employed at a crucial moment as the furlough scheme ends for the industry and we hope this might see us all through to the end of the year.”
Also at Breaking Bread in October will be a weekly comedy nights compered by Mark Olver every Wednesday, live jazz and world music curated by Worm Disco Club on Thursdays, and kitchen pop-ups on Sundays.
