Ahead of the cafe’s opening , Pinkmans group general manager, Cristina Cochior and owner of Pinkmans, Ross Gibbens said: “We are excited to be working with Bristol Cathedral and its team. Since the moment we opened discussions, it was clear that we are all driven by the quality of our guest experience and a passion for community…
“We’ve missed life on Park Street since the fire last year and can’t wait to give everyone their fix of sourdoughnuts and freshly baked goods, seven days a week.”
The cafe’s opening also coincides with the inauguration of a seven-metre installation called Gaia, by artist Luke Jerram.
