“Bos Finesse’s Instagram independent restaurant reviews have genuinely introduced me to so many great places; many of which you don’t find shouted about but should be.”
Eat Your Greens

“Eat Your Greens on Wells Road in Totterdown does the best breakfast in Bristol. So good I forgot my egg obsession. Purely plant-based, Babs knows what she’s doing with a shroomdog! It’s phenomenal.”
Campus Pool

“Campus Pool in Bishopsworth is a skate park that also has Daily Grind cafe. Which means coffee for me by a wood burner while the kids skate around a repurposed public swimming pool.”
Arnolfini

“Arnolfini is where it all began for me, and to where I owe my Bristol life and career.”
The Factory
“Call me biased, but I love south Bristol’s community makerspace, laser cutting 3D printing, UV printing, digital embroidery and printmaking, which is made accessible for all.”
