Sam Leach, Wildings Cider

Farro Bakery
Markets: Tobacco Factory, Whiteladies Road (and now also with a permanent home in St Paul’s)
www.farro.co.uk

“Bristol’s best bread, and best pastries, I’d say.  We are very fortunate to have fantastic bakeries more or less all across the city, but Farro edges it for me. Their bread is everything I want bread to be: well baked and crusty, with a tender crumb and packed with flavour; the pastries are basically butter and space dust, just amazing.”
Sam Leach, Wildings Cider

For Mice & Men
Markets: Temple Quay, Finzels Reach, Harbourside, Tobacco Factory
www.formiceandmen.com

“The ultimate cheese toastie with great specials. They actually call their toasties ‘grilled cheese’, but Tim is American so we’ll allow it.”
Hannah Wylie, Wylie Sisters
