UK-FOOD [RESTAURANT] Pie Minister

Pieminister
24 Stokes Croft, Bristol

Price: Classic Pies all £4.50

The first Pieminister started at Stokes Croft, Bristol. Now they are also in St. Nicholas Market, London, Oxford and even Amsterdam! (Woohoo~ we won't miss pie too much when in NL~)

Classic beef pie with mash potato.

  Fish pie with salad.

When I first saw the fish pie I was worried that it would be too small for me. But it's actually enough for a meal! Traditional British dish. Their fish pie is really lovely~ with a glass of white wine just too good to be true!!

Not only their restaurant but also many pubs in Bristol offer 'pie from Pieminister'. You can find them in some markets, too.

Why not give their award winning pie a try? ;)

UK-FOOD [PUB] Watershed Cafe-Bar

Watershed Cafe Bar
1 Canon's Road, Harbourside, BS1 5TX
Price: main meal from £7-13

Watershed is a cinema with it's own cafe and bar. Every Tuesday they offer 'Cinébites' - get a cinema ticket for the Tuesday evening (after 17:00) film of your choice, plus a voucher ticket to use in the Café/Bar for a meal and a drink. Which is a great bargain but last time we wanted to buy it, it was sold out. So better be quick!

    Vegetable stew with fresh bread. Too bad we didn't get the Cinebite. 

A great choice to have a pre-theater meal. You can order drink here and tell them you are going to take it into the cinema then they will give you a plastic cup. Film tickets are always cheaper before 15:00. 



UK-FOOD [PUB] Burger Theory

Burger Theory
Find them at 'The Golden Lion' pub.
244 Gloucester Road, Bristol BS7 8NZ
Burger Price: £5.50-£8.75

We saw their stand at 'Redland May Fair' but we didn't try their burger. Fortunately they are at 'The Crofters Rights' this week, so we had a chance to visit them. 

They offer more options on the menu at 'The Golden Lion'. 

   Haba-oh-no burger.
   8oz beef patty infused w/ Habanero chillies, lime, garlic and cumin w/ after-burn cheddar and sweet Habanero relish.  £7 with chips.

My burger is hot, but not mentally hot. If you like habanero chilli then you will like this burger. The bread is nice and fresh. The beef is juicy and had lots of nice flavor. Strongly recommend.

H said his 'Halle-loumi' veg burger is the best veg burger he ever had. One nice thing we love about Bristol is, every restaurant has few vegetarian options for veg people. If you are sick of meat, why not choose some nut roast or veg burger? Always nice. :)

   Don't want to have pizza? They offer nice pie, too.

The price here is a little bit high for a meal. Although it's a nice restaurant and fresh ingredient. We were lucky when we arrived cuz they were fully booked. We had about 1.5 hours before the reservation people came. Better book a table before you pop in. :)

UK-FOOD [CAFE] Hooper House

Hooper House
http://hooperhouse.co.uk
113 Stokes Croft, Bristol, BS1 3RW

This cafe is right next to The Crofters Rights. Run by Carly, who is Mark's flatmate. (I know Mark from Happytat.) Actually after I started to do volunteering at Happytat I found that many shops on Stokes Croft are connected. Happytat to Treasure to Pop-up Bakery. And now Hooper House. :) Which is really amazing.

At Hooper House they do coffee, cakes and light meals. Mostly soup with bread. The daily soup menu will be on the board right in front of the café.



















Hooper House.

   Homemade carrot cake (£2.50) and Latté (£2.20).

After a nice morning tea why not walk from here to Gloucester Road? Enjoy a great afternoon out and check all the interesting local shops there. :)))
