My Bristol Favourites: Stewart Wright
Stewart Wright is a film, TV and stage actor.
His most recent film, Jungle Cry, in cinemas now, is based on a remarkable true story.
Jungle Cry follows the journey of 12 underprivileged children who came from the most extreme tribal areas in India, playing rugby barefoot before going on to compete in the U14 World Cup in England.

Eatchu

“I love St Nick’s Market for a lunchtime treat. If you haven’t tried them yet I highly recommend Eatchu, they do dumplings on rice or noodles. I always get a side of katsu sauce, the chilli edamame beans and a pickled egg. You don’t have to though. Don’t go all hyped up on a Monday because they are closed.”
Bristol Bears at Ashton Gate

“Ashton Gate Stadium for the Bristol Bears home games is my idea of a great night out. I have a season ticket next to my old pal Rhys. It’s perfect; we get to meet up without having to send a single text to arrange it. I’m so passionate about rugby I’m creating The Ultimate Rugby Quiz where I bring to life moments and characters from international rugby in the form of a quiz.”
Voi scooters

“I’m hooked on the Voi scooters, a great way to get around the city. I took a friend on a tour of Bristol on them recently. I do get told off by the app a fair bit I’m embarrassed to say; for parking and various other misdemeanours. Those cobbles will knock your dentures out though so take it steady.”
Bristol’s Indian restaurants

“I’m part of a curry club with two friends which basically involves going out for Indian food every month or two. We’ve probably done about ten of Bristol’s best Indian restaurants so far. We even did a podcast called Of Spice and Men to record our ramblings.”
The cross-harbour ferry

“A lot of my spare time is spent with my two boys. Millennium Square is a fun destination. They can paddle in the fountains, We the Curious is nearby, there’s lots of places to eat out and you can get to and from on the cross-harbour ferry.”
