Pieminister is to open its first new restaurant in Bristol for more than 10 years in the centre.

Due to open on Broad Quay in early March, it will have more than 60 covers, open from lunch until evening seven days a week, and alongside Pieminister’s award-winning pies there will be a selection of sides, snacks, salads, hot pots, craft ales, cider, cocktails and even ice cream pies.

The inside will be similar to the Stokes Croft restaurant with some new features promised.

It comes after a buoyant 2015 for the company founded by friends Jon Simon and Tristan Hogg which saw unprecedented growth.

At least five new restaurants are planned to open this year, including one already announced in Nottingham.

They will join restaurants in Stokes Croft, Cardiff, Leeds and Manchester, alongside smaller stalls in St Nick’s Market, Oxford, Exeter, Stoke-on-Trent and three in London.
