is needed now More than ever
Where? A unique Bristol establishment. As a gentle nod to their position as a nautical venue, the chefs have developed a menu that draws on the idea of travel and taking the best recipes from the places visited by ships leaving Bristol harbour. A work of careful selection and research provides an extensive tapas menu that draws influence from across the Mediterranean. To accompany drinking, they also created a pizza menu, making everything from the dough to the toppings fresh on board.

Soul Fish – Cod & chips & sauce & peas & pud for two
Usually: £20
On Wriggle: £12
What? Whale, whale, whale. What do we have here? Cod, chips, any homemade sauce, minted or mushy peas and deep fried Oreos for two. Lovely job. Check out their great selection of Moor Beer cans while you’re there, and some delicious house wine too.
Where? Stuart and Vashti Seth travelled the world together and experienced some amazing food, but there was one dish that they loved and ordered whenever they could – The UK’s favourite meal. Fish & Chips. After cooking for Royalty, Madonna, and even the Dalai Lama, Stuart decided it’s time to put the soul back into the dish that we just can’t get enough of, so in 2015 Soul Fish was born. Whether it’s their ethical outlook, double cooked chips or sustainably caught fish. There’s just something darn good about their fish and chips.

Smoking Buns – two burgers & two sides
Usually: £20
On Wriggle: £12
What? You lucky things. Two burgers and two sides. Choose between the house classic beef burger or the halloumi burger, and pocket a couple of extra sides (one apiece) – your options are between fries, slaw or onion rings. It’s a rare chance to catch these boys visiting from London and their Camden Brewery home, and they’re bringing with them some hard fought lessons about the burger game.
Where? Smoking Buns is the love child of Chef Events, born out of a two-year research and development project which saw them working the grill for some of the UK’s leading burger set-ups and trawling the West Coast of America in search of perfect ribs. The ‘Smoking Buns’ burger is a really simple affair, the right mix of chuck and rib steak, our own unique bun recipe, pickles, Frenchie’s mustard, secret sauce and not a lot else. Easy.

Pizzarova crate @ M Shed – Any 12” pizza
Usually: £12
On Wriggle: £9
What? Any 12″ pizza from the Pizzarova gang; choose between ‘Yours’ (literally any toppings, unlimited) or ‘Ours’ (the Pizzarova team’s personal daily special). Enjoy on the waterfront nearby, or on their outside seating – and BYO if you like!
Where? A new contender for the Bristol pizza crown. These fine folks have honed their craft from their converted landy, but having already graduated into a stylish location of their own on Gloucester Road – they’ve now opened up in the new Bristol food hotspot that is Wapping Wharf, in a built for purpose ‘crate’ bang on the waterfront. Their pizza is made from slowly fermenting sourdough that has been rising for 69 years, resulting in a light and airy dough giving it a distinctive taste. Their toppings are sourced from sustainable suppliers and change weekly.

Workhouse Kitchen – two full breakfasts
Usually: £16
On Wriggle: £12
What? Two glorious full breakfasts (veggie or meaty) of Devonshire Pork or Linda McCartney’s sausage, coffee and maple spiked black and white beans, chestnut mushrooms, wilted greens, poached eggs and sourdough. Highly recommended by the Wriggle team.
Where? Workhouse Kitchen is a beautifully decorated and atmospheric cafe on St. Michael’s Hill. Owner/chef Chris knocks up super high-quality seasonal food – and there is a great selection of local beers as well. There’s even a quiet terrace area to enjoy the sun.

Biblos on the Hill – jerk chicken platter for two & rice & slaw & chips
Usually: £20
On Wriggle: £12
What? An in-house recipe (and Bristol-wide famous) jerk fried chicken sharing platter for two to four people depending on your capacity for greed; 18 pieces of tender Jerk chicken rolled in breadcrumbs and deep fried. Served with rice, triple cooked fries, Caribbean cole slaw and homemade sauces. Service between 12:00 – 14:00 & 18:00 – 21:00.
Where? In case you weren’t aware; Biblos have opened a third establishment higher up Gloucester Road, in Bishopston – please don’t mistake this for the Stokes Croft branch! Nonetheless – the same approach to honest and healthy international dishes (inspired by the traditional food cultures of owners Ariel and Will) served in a relaxed environment – this time with more space, some fine booze and a spacious terrace for those sunny ones.
