Fine dining and food markets to come to Breaking Bread
Two of Bristol’s much-loved restaurants will come together in a new collaboration at Breaking Bread.
Breaking Bread hosted tipi restaurants of the Pony & Trap and Pasta Loco, and organisers have now announced that fine dining will return to the Downs on May 20.
The all-new restaurant concept, Home Grown, has been created by Josh Eggleton, Ben Harvey and Joe Harvey as a way to celebrate Bristol’s food scene, while ensuring on sustainability.
is needed now More than ever
The meals at Home Grown will be made using locally sourced produce and will support local supply chains.
“From a project that was created in response to the pandemic, this can, should and will become one about sustainability for all those involved,” says Breaking Bread co-founder Josh Eggleton.
“This has always been a major contributing factor to the way I cook, and the way Ben, Dom, Joe and the Bianchi’s team approach food.

“Provenance and ecology are hugely important in everything we do,” Josh adds.
“Now more than ever as we look to get hospitality back onto its feet in Bristol, Home Grown will have the same indoor/outdoor setting as last year, giving customers the confidence to enjoy a meal out with friends and family, with a menu collaboration which is a first for Bristol.”
A changing seasonal five-course menu will initially feature incredible local produce such as trout from Chalk Stream, linguine verde with locally grown spinach and Westcombe ricotta, Chew Valley saddle-back pork, Failand sheep’s cheese and Cheddar strawberries.
Alongside Home Grown, Breaking Bread are also launching weekend markets.
From May 23, Saturdays will be dedicated to makers, designers, vintage traders and craftspeople, while Sundays will see a local food market open to local makers, producers, growers as well as food demos.
