Join Bristol24/7 to celebrate the launch of EatDrink24/7 2023
2023 seems to be the year of Bristol24/7 parties. Spurred on by the resounding success of our Ashton Court takeover in March, we’ve decided to launch this year’s EatDrink24/7 guide with hundreds of Bristolians, summer tunes and a generous dollop of Wapping Wharf talent on July 20.
And some excellent food and drink, of course.
We’re working with our key partners at Wapping Wharf and some of the city’s finest chefs and restaurants for an afternoon and evening celebrating the best of Bristol’s food and drink.
is needed now More than ever

The sun will (definitely – we’ve spoken with the weather gods) be beating down on a line of street food stalls lining Gaol Ferry Steps where one-off creations will be served by the names you know and love from Wapping Wharf and beyond. Keep an eye out across our channels for some exciting updates on what we’ll have in store.
Inside Junction, the new pub from Bristol Beer Factory, four of Bristol’s best chefs will be preparing a tasting menu. Vyck Colsell from COR and Kyu Jeong Jeon from Bokman will be on starters, Olivia Barry from Adelina Yard on mains, and Hannah Catley from Lockdown Loaves on desserts. It’s the Bristol food equivalent of a stellar Glastonbury lineup, only our one is more delicious and all-female.
Turntablist extraordinaire DJ Cheeba on the ones and twos
Cider slushies and pints will be being poured to the soundtrack of live music, showcasing some great new talent and curated by Weston College, followed by some of our favourite local DJs.
Solid Steel, DOP and Soundcrash resident DJ Cheeba will be bringing his usual diverse range of beats, styles and turntable skills. He’ll be followed by Papa Moomin who is fast becoming a Bristol24/7 resident- we just can’t resist his feel good selection which always brings the party.
There’ll be a raffle hosted by EatDrink24/7 sponsor Deliveroo to raise money for The Trussell Trust with amazing prizes including sreet art featuring some of Bristol’s finest graff artists as well as 10 x £50 Deliveroo vouchers. Look out for the Deliveroo gazebo and make sure you check out the artwork and enter the raffle before the winners are drawn at 9.30pm.
But it’s not all just fun and games. Inside organic food haven Better Food, ticket holders will be able to sit in on talks from local chefs, food experts, growers, campaigners and writers.
Expect some surprises dotted around too!
The event is free to attend buy there are two tiers of tickets available if you want to get the most out of the event:
